Some of you guys have seen this posted in CF a couple of weeks ago, but for those that didn't, again, please don't kill me on my welds. Some were perfect, others well...sucked. But anyway, it is all in and buttoned up at this point.
In fact, the very worst 2 welds are the ones u see in the pics, should have redone them, but it is done now at least. The rest of the recent pics are so blurry that u can't see anything.
The main thing is the thing is removable, which took forever to setup making the bolt in plates etc. I'll try to get some more recent pics that don't focus on my worst welds, lol. This took forever, because I had to redo the rear body mounts, fuel system etc. while I was at it.
Going in a '76 with a 427 sbc.
Dart Little M 427, Scat 4340 crank, Scat 4340 7/16" I beam rods. 11:1 cr
AFR Eliminator 210 heads (CNC ported)
Comp cams custom solid roller: 630/630; 252/258 @ .050 with 111 degree LS
1 7/8" Hooker header/sidepipes with 4" pipes and spiral baffles
Has a Tremec TKO 5-speed, offset TA's, cry treated spindels, Dragvette 6-link and flanged stubshafts.
Edelbrock proflo EFI setup with a new chip and 48 lb Venom injectors. Looking to also upgrade to the Victor EFI manifold rather than the Victor Jr. based intake that I have.
Just read an article in 'Engine Masters' magazine that has a 427 Dart aluminum block with my same heads, CR, solid roller .578/.582; 248/254; 112 degree LS. This motor put out 584 hp at 6,200 on 91 octane, and admittedly a 750 carb that shorted the top end hp. So by comparison, I am hoping that my motor puts out close to 600.
