It's going in a Mazda RX4.

Yep. Put together a good combo and a Rat can be easy to drive. Our current engine (463 cubes) made 485hp and 540tq and I'd say it has as good or street manners as my B2200 does. This current build might be a little different though, but who knows as I think it's going to end up fuel injected.

That's a good looking pete he has for a tow rig! From what little I can see, I think it's a BERT transmission.

Well today was the last day of class I had to do work. But I managed to get a little work done. Since the motor was stroked an 1/4" we had to check clearances. We did this by setting the crank in the journals with a single rod/piston and moving to each hole to check clearances. I had no less than 1/8" of clearance, which is surprising considering I am using H-beam rods. Crank finally sitting in it's home. Checking the clearances.

:fuckyeah:

Lima LOL

Interested as well... that is till I pick up a fill station.

Will be there.

I'm going in either the c10 or my s10. And I think Nick (88tbi4.3) is bringing his mustang.

Body comes off, chutes automatically deploy.

Got to finish taking all my cylinders over today. After finishing, I went ahead and plateau honed each cylinder. This knocks down the peaks that even diamond honing leaves behind, thus aiding in ring sealing even more. All finished with machining! Also took some time to grind of casting flash.

Took the pistons out today. All measure right at 4.2776". Meaning I wanted a final bore of 4.282. I chose to make it a a little on the loose side as I plan on spraying some nitrous with this build. Forged SRP Pistons. 18cc dome will create a 10.2:1 CR with my 119cc heads. Uses 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 Rings. Instead of the traditional bore and hone. We decided to hone it over. We have diamond stones in our hones and create less/zero taper as compared to a true bore/hone, as the hone is almost fully computer controlled.

I have Mr. Higgins for customs.

:fuckyeah: Love me some fast 1/8th mile cars. Should hopefully be out watching.

:megusta:

Here's 20% black chrome. I dont like it http://www.firstcoastglasscoatings.com/pictures/metal%20tint.jpg http://www.firstcoastglasscoatings.com/pictures/tint002.jpg http://www.firstcoastglasscoatings.com/pictures/tint%20001.jpg

What kind of engine are you guys running the Super Gas deuce?

That's not something I'm able to answer as I've not put a lot time in researching V10-12s. Guess its time to start studying up on them.

Longer stroke definitely helps with the torque. The more cubes allow you to get away with a more aggressive camshaft.

Displacement and TQ. With aluminum heads and intake it won't weigh much more than a all iron SBC.

Got a decent bit of machining done on the block today. I square decked it. One deck was at 9.798" and the other was at 9.796", essentially the stock 9.8" deck height. Zero deck for new set up is 9.780. I ended up right at 9.7785 on both decks after machining. and I'm okay with that, as I'm already a little low compared to the compression I'd like to have. Squaring fixture set up in the block. Theres a 90degree plate on the other side that we level off of to assure a square deck. It then got setup in the machine and decked. After all is said and done.

Not sure yet. Most likely I'll be up at night under fire though.
