Guest RoundIIRacing Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 It was the usual,fast,but I'd rather see more cars driven in instead of trailored!Thats just my opinion of what "king of columbus" should be! Thanx by the way!We're about to get some sleep we been at it for a while!All I have left is to bolt on the intake,put in and fill the radiator,and hook up the "big stuff",then she'll be readyto fire!Well I still gotta go pick up my plugs at jeggs in the morning,they had to order the damn things!Order,order,order!!!I'll keep evryone posted clear up untill I get rollin,well that is for you who really give a shit!

boostedgtp Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Looks sweet! How much compression is in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkent93 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hey man, that all looks good! Who built your motor? I just got mine running again but I guarantee it does not sound as mean as that sweetness right there! I'm trying to talk Dad into shelling out the money for me to build a 396LT1 for him and put it in one of his 69 camaros. It would be cool since the other 69 camaro has a 396 big block in it! Also, I talked to a Shawn Duvall (spelling?) with a 396 LT1 car from Zanesville a year or 2 ago...is that you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nasty57 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 yeah that would be the same shawn. The car is running but we are having some issues with and and are sorting them out now. bosstedgtp- the motor is about 12.5:1 This motor has beeen built many times and no luck. It blew up due to percision autosports in dayton ohio fucking the tune up (long story). Then it was rebuilt by COE (centeral ohio engine...by jegs on 11th) Bad new there. They failed to properly secure the pickup tube, not shure how it was a bolt on style. I guess they should have used locktite or tack welded the nuts? Well it fell of and huff there goes the motor. This time around FAST (right by howie's shop did the motor) We video taped the tear down and when the pan was pulled ...there is was just laying there. We cooled off about this over night and then went the next day to present the tape to the owner. He said it was forged and we made it and people can do stuff like that all the time now. He refused to help us and actually tried to start a fight!!! Keep in mind this guy is like 60yrs old. Well we decided to take it to FAST(right by howie's shop) this most recent time, so far so good. Like i said just working out some bugs and getting the big stuff dialed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I am surprised you had that reaction from Central ohio engines by Jegs... I have spoke with John over there a bunch of times over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nasty57 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 he has built many motors for a friend of mine for years. I didnt underatand eithier. I am not trying to say they do bad work, because my buddy has running engines from them now. Rather they dont stand behind there work. It was obvious what had happened and whos fault it was. We didnt even ask for him to pay for everything, we ask for him to cover labor if we covered parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
