Very nice Phil. What's it going in? Should be a fun ride whatever it is! ;D
-
Very Kool.
Looks like you have it geared up for a Cobra install?

Yes, hopefully a Kirkham cobra. I've been saving my pennies for about 7 years for the car and spent about 4 years on the motor. It's been a very rewarding but sometimes frustrating process. I've gotten lots of help from all the familiar gurus, including Jay. As for details,
Block and heads by KCR
Crane lifters, Erson rockers
Scat crank and rods, diamond pistons from Barry
248/252 .633 cam
Victor intake ported by JDC.
BHJ damper
Aviaid pan
I'm expecting 600+ hp. But you know the drill, hp expectations are like fish stories. The dyno will tell the tale.
I'm planning on doing a TKO 600 and a Mcleod dual plate clutch from Brent. That's my next investment...

Hey, way cool Phil! Like the stand too.

The stand was kind of an evolving process. It started as a Stumpy's cradle. When I decided to build a run stand, I just sort of winged it. Fortunately, I got lucky with some of the dimensions. For instance, I never considered that pulling the stud mounted heads required some minimum side clearance between them and the stand. Got lucky. The radiator is a junkyard Dodge Ram unit and the fan is the Ford Taurus one. Speaking of the fan, I changed it from a cheap summit fan to the Taurus unit and my idle temp dropped dramatically. Hard to believe a fan could make so much difference. The fuel tank is from West Marine and is a typical outboard engine tank. I modified it to accept a return for the F.I.
It keeps me entertained while I save for the car.

Looks and sounds really good, Phil. I'm guessing you will make your horsepower goal...
