351w build

[TEAMJACOB]

well i didnt realize when you reorganize photobucket, it affects the pics you've already posted so i had to regroup this. here are a few pics of the car, rather unspectacular but i have cleaned up the interior pretty decent imo.

it was a hci car that made shit for power at 280rwhp and i came across a good deal on a nitrous kit right before 2 cruises ago. the one at kennedale where we all thought it was going to last till midnight but ended at 10. i had the kit installed on thursday, had it tuned on friday, and was at the cruise on sat. car made 365 with a little 100 shot and went 7.50 with garbage 60 ft times. in fact they worstened from na to nitrous. since the cruise ended early i only got 3 passes in and decided to have some fun on the way home against my buddies viper. well i trashed the motor before i got home and only had the pleasure of having nitous for 2 days. i wasnt too upset since i didnt build this short block and used it as an opp. to upgrade

with the car apart, i was able to sell a lot of what i had to help fund the project.
first thing first, was the 351 roller block blacksnake? sold me and a good set of pistons.
had it all checked, hot tanked, and bored here in ft worth.

while the block was away at the machine shop i was pretty busy selling off what i had and gathering all the new parts i needed

a buddy was suppose to do the assembling for me at his shop but i was just put off over and over and over again until i finally had enough and posted in the garage if anyone could get me in. truesteet contacted me and i decided to go with them so i had the car towed and hauled all my parts out to mckinney.
they got started on it right away and before the week was out sent me these 2 pics

tim got me a really good deal on powder coating and sent a few things off. not long after i got a couple more pics

I like. What compression will it be? I made the mistake of going 12 to 1 on my Windsor and have to use octane booster in my fuel when I use pump gas, kinda pain in the azz.

Convert it to E85 if you can.

Well the car was always going to be a turbo car but due to the nitrous story stated above, I wanted to keep the bottle on it for a while since I never got to really enjoy it and you can't build a motor that is great for nitrous and boost so i went 10 to 1 as a medium.

Did you notice the rockers I bought from you didn't make it on the build? The cam I was going to use wasnt big enough and the cam I replaced it with would have had to much lift with the 1.7s for my springs

Yea I saw that, well you can probably unload them for a good price to someone, they were in good shape.
