2 more weeks!!!! woohoo!!!
 

2 more weeks till my crank is done!!! Then the bottom end can begin balance and assembly.

Bottom end consists of

3400 block
3500 crank (forged steel)
Scat 800hp SBC Forged Steel Rods
Stock Compression Wiseco Pistons
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Head Studs
ARP Main Studs
Custom Comp Camshaft (race grind)
Custom Drysump parts here and there


oh yeah and i dropped the 65 tranny and have a fully built 5 speed I am swapping in....:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:


I'll try to get pics of all the parts before the assembly...

Nice! Cant wait to see the progress pics. As well as the ones with the new rims that we have been waiting for. Have fun with the build.

have fun wiring and tuning that sucker.

sexy.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Want Pics :cool:

You know what that car really needs? A sweet hood like the one in your sig. Heck, I think I have one in my garage exactly like it if you need it, complete with the heat extractors. :coolio:

damn i was waiting for you to come out of hibernation :)

I'm not sure what you're getting at.. that's his car in the signature, which means he has a "sweet hood" like the one in his sig.. complete with those hood scoops. o_O

haha...thats what you think

dude how did you get a dry sump!?

part of my new setup i'm buildling for better performance and longevity, not to mention the new really shallow oil pan makes the routing of custom headers much easier and more productive......:yahoo:

oh yeah but if you build an ecotec, you can buy a dry sump setup ready to bolt on from ARE

what kinda hp numbers do you expect to have ?

well, i hate to speculate but somewhere north of 400whp for sure.....

the tranny was built for 500whp daily driven.......and the motor is being built for consistent abuse in the 15-20psi range....so we'll see.....

Wow, I want pics NOW!!!! good job

let me know the parts list and specs and all the other info for the tranny im interested in it.

call u rocket !!!! damn 400+ :cool:

you mean the 5 speed swap?

Hey, two weeks is over :p

u got to say that before me :(

yeah sorry, had some problems with the regrinding of the crank, i'll keep you all updated

one my built 5 speed should be all ready to install by the end of january, i'm pushing for a march - june timeframe to be done, we'll see where we are at, i got a decent chunk of college money my wife said i could use to try to finish the car........

Sweet, what trans are you using?

282 getreg
close ratio gears (not sure exactly because the tranny shop has the build sheet)
fully cryo hardened (output shafter, gears, LSD, everything!!)
very rare gleason/torsen lsd
94 case with internal slave cylinder
4puck ceramic clutch

Whole tranny was built to handle 500whp daily driven......

must cost a pretty penny

cheap, fast, reliable - choose two

Nice. Did you get the 4DFF gear set? There were a handful of those floating around. Either way I think you might actually be worse off than with the regular V6 gearset. But that Torsen is a blast for sure! I have one and it wasn't cheap! The 94 internal slave is also worlds better than the older styles.
