snafu Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Matt, Nice! I'm just getting ready to pull the carbs off of the Olds' and install a dual TBI system from Holley. It is from their HP EFI series and I chose dual 900 cfm TBIs. I'm also upgrading the ignition to an MSD HEI system (8366 / HVCII / 6AL2) as the ECU will control timing this go. [Look for this in Book # 2!] 454 + 13 PSI + TBI should be fun! Should get this 3,900 pound car movin'! Have fun man . . . had no idea that you were into Go-Fast . . .

MECHMAN Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yeah, I've been in the racing industry 10 years, we do a lot of alternators for NMCA and NMRA cars. We also do tons for XRRA and class 1 desert race trucks. Is that an 871 on your olds? Is it still Olds powered? 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be the guy who would try to race you and get Ferked in a$$. Maybe some time when I get bored, I'll post up all the in car police videos of me getting pulled over. I fight every ticket as far as I can, so I generally order a copy of the in-car footage. 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_skillz81 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Sweet stuff mang! tuned in I was pretty close to getting a turbo or a supercharger for my 4.7 in another Dodge Ram that I had (already had 4.56 gears, Detroit trulock, cams, programmer, intake)... but then I got a Hemi Regular cab and realized that no matter what i do to the 4.7 4-door with 4wd the Hemi is still a rocketship in comparison...too bad I sold both, still miss the Hemi.... anyway, that was my "me too" moment lmao ..i was nowhere near close 800hp obviously 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 - Deep Orange Build log - Blowthrought with 4 18's http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/122600-4-18s-in-a-dodge-ram-team-sundown-russia/ Sundown Audio SAX125.2 - Sundown PA 10" Shok-wiring & RCA's XS Power D6500 Mechman 320A Sundown Audio Russia http://sundownaudio....dex.php?/index http://www.drive2.ru...ram/ram/skillz/ - more about my truck http://www.youtube.com/user/Gskillz81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECHMAN Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 6-71. 13 PSI at 11% under. 454 ci BBC @ .030 over. Wow, I'm surprised it's making that much boost at 11% underdriven. Most of the small blocks I've dealt with only make like 8 lbs max when underdriven. I'll bet holley hooked you up on those Commanders... 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snafu Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Wow, I'm surprised it's making that much boost at 11% underdriven. Most of the small blocks I've dealt with only make like 8 lbs max when underdriven. I'll bet holley hooked you up on those Commanders... 11% under in the winter, 9% under in the summer = 13PSI. It has Weiand rear bearing plate and snout, but who knows what the case came from. It has helix rotors and I'm betting it's a big bore. It was freshened just before I bought the motor and built TIGHT. 7,500 miles later it still makes great boost. I'm also betting static CR is 9.0:1 - that's a long story . . . We begin work on the conversion on Monday. Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!

MECHMAN Posted August 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 My valves were actually floating so badly, that the keepers welded themselves to the retainers! I've had to cut off all the old valve springs, and use a C clamp to break the retainers loose from the locks. I'll post up another video once I have the heads done... 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
