Tinman

My dad has owned a boat/boats since before I was born, He currently sports a 28' Bayliner hardtop. I'm glad I was raised in a boating family, now I know it's better to know someone that has a boat than to own one yourself

Most of us know they don't work well in cars, now we know they are not pratical in bikes. If they were not so heavy they could be a decent paper weight tongue.gif

This is what you need to use as a pre silencer, place it as far back as possible and retain your existing titanium muffler

Try here

 

They advertise in Grassroots Motorsports.

That kicks ass Shawn. I may have to get some cam specs and cylinder head info from you.

Ex girlfriend has one, alot of medical problems. Not as lazy as they look either.

Head south to Tampa/Ybor and check out Prana. That is the type of club we need here.

Standard SBCs use a .842" dia. lifter, not a .927. You could use some bronze liners honed to the chevy size.

Hmmm, I do have an extra set of sb2 heads, Mike has a 406 shortblock he wants to sell..... smile.gif

I've heard a LOT of people talk about how great those foam mattresses are. I personally don't know though. Plus, I would bet they're kinda pricey.

 

Anyone here have one?

My ex girlfriend just paid over $2000 for one, it is very comfortable though.

Matt how is the body tied and strenghened ?

Except for the shock tower brace, it's not. Actually the FCs any very stiff little platforms. If I was going to drag race it, I would install a cage and firewall back frame rails. But since it's headed for the road course, I'll just tie the suspension points together the best I can without a cage.

Tinman, the cam is a Cam motion grind. It is .718 on the intake, .690 on the exhaust. 280 @ .050 intake and 292 @ .050 exhaust with a 112 lobe sep in the motor at 108. It made great hp but the torque was peaky. I was hoping for about 600 ft. lbs. from 5-7k but it fell off at 6200. Tony at BES (where dynoed) suggested that we retard the valve timing when its in the car to see if there is any difference in e.t.or mph. That is the first time I have played with the sb2 stuff, the thing that amazed me was the rpm range. It made fair power from 3-5000 but once it got past that, it was from 5-8k in the blink of an eye and pulled to 8600 like it was nothing.

Hmm, quite a bit different grind than the one in mine. Of course the motors are pretty different too. I plan on trying a few different cams in this engine, I may have to try one in that neighborhood.

 

Thanks for posting that, there aren't alot of sb2s out there and it's nice to see the different combos and the power they make.

You gotta love a set of heads with maybe 500 miles on them! I just finished up a 440" sb2 motor for my friend. Big inch sb2 motors rip, it made 792 hp @ 7700 and 638 tq @ 5700 with a flying toilet (alcohol injection). He picked up the heads on ebay for $1900.00 that came with PSI springs and Del-west titanium valves.

Nice numbers, I would be interested to see the cam specs on that motor for comparision.

Well The V8 rx7 has been waiting on cylinder heads since last fall, they still are not done. So incase they are still under the knife come spring, I have a backup plan, a second set

The CNC work is done, I will start finishing the port work this weekend, have almost a 1/4" milled off, and get some flow numbers to see how they stack up to my other/broken heads. Then after it's back on the road I will kindly ask everyone to "bring it"

Replace it with a frost free sillcock. Its a special type of faucet made for cold climates. The outside knob controls a valve that is inside the house, this keeps all of the water inside the house and warm when it's turned off.

No biggie. I know you are busy, moving a family into a new home is not a small task.

I guess I'll plug myself here like eveyone else.

He does doesn't he, I always fall face first though, not to the side

Maybe old or a repost.

 

Just roll your mouse left to right, no clicking required, to keep him upright on his way home.

Less VWs, more fast cars smile.gif

Thanks, I'll be there Friday, hopefully I'm not too late.

It's cool to see something 60' that fast and stay almost perfectly level.
