I was told, it was a pressure supply port, but we could not get pressure from it, so the assumption its a suction port could be inferred, I guess. I have no other current way to get an AN10 line to attach to the block right now, so the accumulator is on the shelf for now.

Does the Indy block have oil pressure ports on the rear like a stock block, that would be the place to plumb ... unless the ports are supplying oil to the heads ?


Yes it does, but they are small....Nothing I would use for an AN10 line.

So just an update.......At the first track outing, the car did remarkably well. Went a best of 6.32 at 108mph and the only thing I worked on was the rear suspension.

So thru the mufflers, on DOT approved 31x15 Hoosier QTP's and mono leafs with Rancho rear shocks, it went 6.32 at 108....Had a bunch of 6.40's and the tuning on the rear shocks finally netted some improvements in the launch for a bunch of runs in the 6.3's with a best 60ft of 1.38....

Still had the cowl hood on it....Vid of 6.36 run against my buddy's race car...I won!

I like keeping this thread alive so all my 605 Hemi related stuff is in one spot....So here is the finished hood, and the new side window stickers the car proudly displays....The 1250 is coming around with some tinkering and is actually a very drivable car considering the cam and lift and that big 1250 Holley setup by Thumper Carbs...

I am still trying to dial in the hood alignment. Its not the best I can get it yet, but the fenders and such were not mounted at the same time as the new hood, they were aligned to the old hood....PITA...Not to mention I pulled the diaper off after its test outing, and I burnt right thru it on one side.

Well....A little progress on the engine block this weekend. For those that don't know, I had a rod failure at the Nostalgia weekend here a couple weeks ago. It was not pretty, but it is what it is at this point. The diaper probably saved the car as almost nothing hit the track...





So I hired the best aluminum welder I know of, and we got started this weekend on it....

Agree'd, but not what I had in mind for my Hemi this year that is for sure.

It has to make you feel good that it is repairable. I'm guessing you'll forget all about it when you fire that puppy up again.

Question?
Do you ned to put the main caps in and torque them down before you weld the block pieces back in so it limits the distortion from the welding?
Asking as I am looking at a used block that needs similar repairs.
Good luck with it.

No, but we will be checking for it when its done. We have to heat it to around 200* so we can weld it. We have an oven in the shop that we normally cook CI blocks in to get all the junk off of before shot blasting them. So we are going to put it on super low temp and bring it up to welding temperature......Should be done next weekend if all goes well.

Was it a rod or bolt failure? What rods/bolts were you running?

Well....Here's the block repair...Went very well. Wish it would not have let go, as this may get expensive depending on how the crank goes...Have to send that one out before we know which route that is going to go. After we figure out what we are going to do with the crank, then we order the rest of the parts, and then think about the oil pan...



Welded inside and out...Hired the Right guy!
