Teddy Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Xany - any more on your Engine? Any More Progress Shots? Looking Foward to updates!!! Teddy Quote
Xany Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Posted February 21, 2004 i was talking to my brother tonight....all is going well......i can't get the pistons i wanted so the ones i have will have to do. the engine rebuilder is still working on the block and crank.....the cam has been done and is back at the workshop. everythying has yet to be balanced. the head was done by Head Torque at mansfield if anyone is interested. i should have everything back by this friday.....then the real action starts to take place..... :| anywho.....back to getting inebreated (spelling) :) Quote
irokin Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Jamie. Ive put a dip stick into my bare block and the level is a good inch or so clear of the crank. Quote
Super Jamie Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 wow, you learn something new every day! Quote
Xany Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Posted February 23, 2004 i'm still waiting to see what hes done to the intake manifold........he said he was doing something special to it......*shrugs* Quote
Teddy Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 ANY UPDATES ???? CRAVING TO HERE MORE !!!!! Quote
Xany Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Posted February 27, 2004 ok now...... this week brings some more info on the engine......since teddy wants to hear more...:| on thursday this week the engine fella came and gave me the block and the cam back all nicely done.... the crank, conrods and the flywheel (which has yet to be lightened). Thats about it for now.....heres some pictures.....gunna paint it once i have it back together.... also found out that the weber carby i have is what they used to use on the 4.2 litre landcruisers......:) Quote
Super Jamie Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 hmm, think that one might be a little too big for the ol 5k :| Quote
Xany Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Posted February 28, 2004 oh that statement about 120hp at the flywheel is about right.....i put a couple of specs through the dyno 2000 program and came out with 122@6500rpm. thats providing that all goes well.....i may even have more....:| Quote
Teddy Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 wow - for a pushrod engine, I'm not complaining... Quote
Xany Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Posted February 28, 2004 sorry people........ben pointed something out to me tonight on the dyno program.....i had the valves set at a standard head size valves.......now i have recalulated and i am pleased to say that i am hopefully going to have a car with get this........ 150hp @ 6500rpm. :| :) And 121pounds per foot of torque @ 6500rpm so now Mr excel.......EAT MY DUST!!!!!!!.......or tyre smoke...... :laff: :laff: Quote
irokin Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 Xany: Hope your gonna use a 4 speed....a 5 speeds probably not gonna last long if you make it to 150hp Quote
Xany Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Posted February 29, 2004 good point......however i shall see how the 5 speed goes.....since i do alot of highway driving.... Quote
Teddy Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 why do u say that ben? (intrssted to know, not geting annoyed or what eva) - i would of always thought that a 5 speed would be better for more speed / Hp - more gears? But theres prob a reason why I'm rong lol Quote
