Finally DONE! What will it run?!?!? - 05/04/23 12:19 PM
Well after about a year and a half of work, my '62 is finally converted over from the old small block turbo combo and ready to run.
I have had so much help from so many people, but more than anyone my Dad (dvw) has just put in HUNDREDS of hours into this car. No doubt I would have eventually gotten it done, but no where near the quality and craftsmanship level he brought to the project. Not to mention the hours my Mom put in helping on the interior, giving up time with my Dad, and keeping us alive!
HardcoreB built a hell of a motor for the combo too, and went above and beyond the original commissioned engine build he took on.
So here is the combo, and the obligatory moparts question for any new build.... what will it run?
3570lbs with driver ready for the starting line (heavier than I was hoping!)
4.10 Dana with Caltracs, 29.5 x 10.5 Pro Bracket Radials, and Mencer Double Adjustable Afco's
727 with good strong parts and Aluminum Drum.
TA 8" converter spec'd for the combo (target 6200 stall)
486" Low Deck (4.385" bore x 4" stroke)
Indy SR Heads, w/ 2.25" ti valves (flow 360cfm?)
275@.050 / .762" Lift Roller Cam, T&D 1.6 rockers, with PAC Springs
Crower Ultra light crank, BME Aluminum Rods, with flat top pistons (12.2:1 compression)
Hooker 2-1/8" headers with 3.5" collector
Mod Man intake (which we named the SeanMan after the heavy runner length/porting/design changes of HardcoreB's work.)
Two 750 AFB's
Electric water pump & Vacuum pump pulling 10~12"
