Im Back In Action!!

[400hp_76]

Finished up saturday putting the new motor in. All in all went together smoothly. Came out spending just a dab over 1200 bucks. $600 for the shortblock and $610 for the heads. And you ask a shortblock for 600 bucks? In short,Close cousin, extreme amount of money. Saw him put the block together. It has a better rotating assembly than my last block. forged steel crank this time and hyperuetectic pistons. My last block was all cast. The heads were milled and i had them polish the valve bowls. I gasket matched and polished the intake ports on the heads and intake manifold. Put the cam at the correct centerline 104 centerline(or 4deg advance) It had been at 0 in my last block. Timeing is stationary at 38total until i dyno it in. It feels actually feels stronger this time around. I guess third motor is a charm right? Lost a little compression because of my 72cc heads and the pistons in the new block were with 64 cc. But because of the head being milled and the higher compression with the 64cc heads it will be right around what it was. Tires go on this week(kumho supra 712s). Best for the buck in my opinion. And after that its up for sale. ANY TAKERS!!
