There seems to be an issue with the crank sensor. It will turn over forever but won't fire just yet. When I picked up the block, they included a shim for the crank sensor, but now I'm not sure if this is even needed.

 

As soon as I can get it running, I'll be tuning it.

Update :

 

Car runs and runs well. The only issue is the tune, since the car was put back together with more displacement, bigger injectors, cams and higher compression than it had last time it ran. The car runs, but needs lots of work on the tune, and I will get right on that tomorrow.

Update :

 

Over 1000 miles on the car now and no major issues, other than the annoying nuances that come with a motor replacement.

 

I had to replace the front main seal, even though the motor was put together with a new one. Not sure why the first one went out, but it's fixed now.

 

I had to replace my belt, the old one had 5+ years and 70k miles on it, and it just snapped off one day driving around.

 

Other than that, no major hiccups besides tuning, which I am still perfecting. I have found that I am out of fuel pump at 7k rpms while on E85, even with my 1000cc injectors and fuel pump rewire. I will probably order the DW300 here soon. I have also found that the intake temperatures are higher than I would like them, even while cruising. This is probably due to my selling the heat exchanger that I previously had on the car.

 

So, hopefully, within the next month, I will have, new fuel pump, heat exchanger, and some drag radials to actually get this thing moving.

sweet.. I like the random car builds...how much powa ya making

 

No dyno yet. Conservatively speaking, I am expecting 400whp. People with this particular supercharger on an otherwise stock motor and E85 are making around 350whp, the highest ones so far around 370whp. Nobody that I know of has this specific setup as far as a motor build, but with higher compression, higher redline, higher boost, and more displacement than stock motor, I am wanting at least over 400.
