It might be a little bit of a drive for you but my children go to Dr. John Applegate in Pataskala and he is great. There is really nothing that I dislike about his office. They are very organized, easy to get in touch with and have a network of doctors so your child can be seen on off hours if necessary. This is the second pediatrican for us and he really takes time to get to know the child and make the child feel comfortable. A lot of doctors rush through the exams and don't take the time they need for each patient.

ive seen engines online selling for almost 100 grand

Funny that u should mention that I spent a lot of money at sonny's

note the intake tag.

looks good what are the benefits of porting the 03/04 heads? I was just going to leave mine unchanged? My goal is 1K on some good gas.

I always chuckle when I get that question. You shouldn't have to be around high performance cars for long to realize that porting any head on any vehicle as long as the port work is done correctly yeilds horsepower. Anyone that tells you differently doesn't quite understand how internal combustion engines work.

Hey Mike,

 

Looks like ya let the cat out of the bag with this bad boy, what a motor. Could ya hurry up and get it finished already, I've got the perfect test car to slide it down in. You know I want to do a Mod Motor, I guess this old thing will do...

A Mod Motor in a foxbody is just sexy. Especially, something as nice as your car. I say let's do it.

Forgive my ignorance, but what on an engine forces it to cost that much?

Not a problem. Everything in the engine is a one of a kind piece. Nothing is off the shelf when you get to this level. Over $12,000 for the heads, $3800 for the intake, $3000+ Billet crank, custom pistons, custom rods, rod bolts, coated everything, $1100 oil pan, $4 or $5,000 in the fuel system and bird cather, $1000 or more in the vacuum pump system, 2, 500 hp fogger systems. Tand D shaft rockers w/ .250" offset, huge Manton chrome moly push rods, three different custom lengths w/clearance tips, offset lifters. etc. etc. etc. These are just some of the prices that I vaguely remember, my math may be slightly off, but should give you an idea of how it adds up. There is a lot more, but this gives you an idea.

what was the one over by the side wall? that wasnt a cutlass was it?

yes the door car is a cutlass.

theyve got some sick cars in the lobby of the jegs distribution center in delaware. i still find it hard to believe that jegs only has 3 retail stores.

If you've seen the cars in the Jegs distr. center in delaware, then that how my car was built. The only real difference is that the newer cutlass's had a little different ground effects package and headlights.

I remember seeing this in your old shop before you sold it and the car that it was going in.

You sure did, I remember you stopping by when I had it for sale

that oil pan is giant

eleven quarts. changed it every 3 passes. Required when you run menthol if you don't want any problems from fuel dillution.

How much did you sell it for?

 

KillJoy

I can't tell. let's just say it cost about $32,000 to build and I did all the work.

what car was it in?

I had a 91 ex-pro stock cutlass built by Jerry Bickel Race cars that was originally owned by Warren Johnson...the professor. Very similar to the ones the jegs boys ran in pro stock also. Theres was just a little newer.

As promised, I wanted to share another project/engine that I built with you. We actually built this engine (BBC 615 cu.in.) a few years back, and have since sold it. It was originally built for my personal Top Sportmans car when I ran IHRA T/S and the Jegs Super Quick series. It had 1.01 sec.at the sixty and low 4.50's in the 1/8 mile. However, I sold it before i made a complete 1/4 pass. It shook the the tires or spun before I could get a clean pass. However, it was capable of 6.80-6.70's seconds in the 1/4 mile. I sold it to a guy in MD that went 7.50's in the 1/4 on motor only (no spray). Needless to say he was very happy with it's performance. It made over 1100hp and 1000ft/lbs on motor on an engine dyno(motor only). It also had 2 NOS fogger systems on it.(didn't spray it on the dyno) I sprayed it with 250hp on the 1st system and another 350hp on the second system at the track.

My uncle drives truck and yes, there is good money in it but right now with the economy his company has asked all of their drivers to do at least one load a week without pay.

Nikki

I have a few friends that drive trucks. They are independent as well and although they are still making money they are saying they have to drive 2x's as much as the did a couple years ago just to make the same money.

Don't listen to him........he doesn't have any friends.

You talk with Mike at livernois? If so keep talking with him if you want to be the fastest or on the leading edge. Those gents have it down, Millens car is sick!

 

No worries about the props, you have to call it how you see it, good work is good work, and its not to often found!

Mike's the man. One of the sharpest guys I've met on what happens on the inside of a engine. He works side by side with engineers from Mahle, Diamond, and Ford. I pick his brain every chance I get. He gave me all the inside information on how and where to port modular heads to get the best results.

I've learned a ton from them.

Looks good Mike, what rods are those?

P.S. Thanks for the props...it's nice to get positive recognition from a fellow shop.

Looks good Mike, what rods are those?

They are the good eagle ones. I was a little skepticle at first about using them, because they are smaller than the manley ones I normally use, but after discussing their intended application with eagle and Livernois Motorsports engine development guy, I decided to give them a try. Eagle made me a smoking deal on a couple of sets and we put them in a couple other engines that we did and haven't had any breakage. They are rated to 1500hp I believe.

gtfoh, maybe after a put a couple cars lengths on the mini me mod fox i may just retire my car.
