My 604 Predator motor is almost ready to go on the dyno. We are supposed to fire it up Friday. I'll try to post a U-Tube video after the session. Parts are World hemi block, GRP rods, 55mm cam tunnel, cnc proted heads, custom Billet Fab pan, valve covers, Titan wet sump oiling, Jessel lifters and belt drive, Callies 4.75 crankshaft, Marcella sheet metal tunnel ram, and other nice parts that cost more than I should have spent. I am going to run it on 2 carb and a single for dyno test. Steve Gill is building this combo for 200+ runs until rebuild and reliable fast bracket and T/D racing. This will be the highest end project I have ever attempted, but if it works, it will be worth it. I am posting it for real world ET numbers, built by a real world 10.5 racer, but it is by no means an all out motor. There is room for more HP, no matter what it dynos.

In the few times that we have talked to Steve, it appears that you have made a great choice on having him on the build. As for some of the parts you chose  .....lol just kidding! It sounds like a very nice piece  Got any pics for us

Sounds like a real nice piece. What's the target hp? I'm assuming 1200+. I'd be real interested to see what the difference will be between one and two carbs. Will the single be a custom made from Cubic or somebody? Also, are you going to pull the single with a lid change on the t/r or will it be a cast single manifold?

best part about it is it's trouble free. your dragster is going to fly with a predator motor in it. when we ck the valve setting it's dead on. i'm glad i bought my predator motor. it's not quite as big as yours but it gets the job done.
good luck with it.

I think the next time I build a motor, I'll use one of your blocks if you have an aluminum peice, but perhaps even a steel block. I just like the fixable part of the aluminum and the weight savings.
I hope to make over 1200 with 2 carbs and Steve said he would let me give his a try, and it's a big one, that's all I know.
I am trying the single on the S/M tunnel ram, and 2 on the cast tunnel ram.
I'm glad to hear you like you Predator, and bought it from Steve because he seems very knowledgable on real race results, not just theoretical results. I should know more by the end of the day Friday.
The pics I have are too large to load, but I should have some later.

Thanks for the support guys, but I haven't even dynoed this deal yet and I want another one for a spare. And my B1 and Yancer deal is so consistant, it saves me when I make mistakes. Al, I should have this combo at MATS next year, if I don't have to work. And it took a tight package to beat Dick in the semis in Woodburn. Then he wouldn't stop trying to line up against me, sheesh! Talk about holding a grudge.  I'll let you guys know when we get the numbers tomorrow, but I think I made the right choice. And Steve has been great to work with. If anyone here is thinking about a predator head package, or a whole motor purchase, he's the guy. He actually returns phione calls and works with a pain in the a$$ like me.

Do you think you could hook us up with a Live Feed on the Dyno? If you need a Test driver for the 1st couple of passes in the dragster.  I would be happy to help you out.
