that crank sure is pritty, but those pistons are a work of art. they are too light for paper weights. bet they are profile milled on the inside.
this engine is going to rev like a chainsaw, hope you have a rev limiter.
Yes it does.What happened was The shift light and limiter were set the same at 8000 and it would flutter right before it would shift So we raised the limiter to to 9000.
I drove the car one day and and the recall hit 9300. I didn't use the shift light. I was to busy trying to keep the car on the road at the end of second with the tires lit. . So my son lowered the limiter to 8500. We put that poor engine through hell for 8 years.
We refreshed it but its wrapped up in plastic for about 3 years. But now its coming apart because we can afford to do it the way we wanted to from the start. I have seen similar small blocks recalls at the end of the 10,000 tach. we are staying with the same cam so 8000 is good .
We just want 1000 lbs off of the car and cut back on as much reciprocating weight as possible. Light weigh spool, billet clutch drum, Carbon fiber drive shaft, and a bunch of Titanium hardware and fasteners.
Why ? Its on my bucket list, If I could feel the g's with one good solid 170 mph 1/4 mile pass behind the wheel I wouldn't care if my heart gave out when I push the shoot lever . I would die with a smile on my face.
