[Arjen]

[Arjen]

Some pictures, I'll post more , the engine had now been bored and honed

 

[Grumpy]

thank you!!!

 

[Arjen]

Right, its time to build !!!
( after reading these 50 mails g@#$%@mit)

 

[Arjen]

So, I am in the process of fabricating a bracket to mount the small block to and old ( 80's) engine stand. 10mm lasercut and folding ...
2 weeks wait....
So we'll have to do it ourselves, do you guys have the same problem in the US?

Nah, Americans are so lazy now that if something can't be bought with a tap on the smart phone, then we don't bother doing anything.

I don,t I bought a $7K mill and $20K in welders , just so I could fabricate one of a kind parts I don't have at hand and IM still saving for a decent LATHE

Now you will have to fabricate $30K worth of one-off items just to break even.

 

[Grumpy]

yeah, but Im a TOOL JUNKY SO THATS NOT AN ISSUE

BESIDES I HAVE A DRAWER FULL OF 40 YEAR OLD, ENGINEERING DEPLOMAS,
THAT SAY I'M, AT LEAST IN THEORY .. QUALIFED TO RUN A WELDER ,DRILL PRESS, AND MILL, AND LATHE,

Hello chaps

We are currently rebuilding the engine.

 

[Arjen]

And we will personalise it with some house made rocker covers and air filter covers.

 

[Arjen]

We are building a new 1985 c10 , with remote start , and a bit more ( hopefully) bhp

 

[Arjen]

 

[Indycars]

Are you upgrading the rotating assembly ?

 

[Arjen]

Meaning?
It's all new, and has more compression and more " flow "

305 and 307 sbc info

the 305 and 307 sbc engines are far from the ideal starting points for a performance engine build-up. but they are far from being a total lost cause, EITHER! EXAMPLE pay attention to the bore stroke ratios, a 307 with its greater bore and shorter stroke , and slightly ;larger displacement...

reading this thread and sub links this may help

 

[Arjen]

Oh you are right, still we should get it from 160bhp to 260/280 I think

 

[Arjen]

 

[Arjen]

The block is getting it's color.
Pretty gay , not?

 

[Grumpy]

pink to match your eyes?
don't weld without a face shield and don't drink to much vodka
