Looks good. Can't wait to see it finished...

Is that a mock up motor ?

 

Nice what are are your plans for HP goals?

 

Yes but i will be using the Teksid block and the B heads from it , i still have to purchase the steel crank , manley rods , some turbo pistons and cams

 

600 + its more of a street rod and will be used on the street 99 % of the time , mite see the track 1 maybe 2 times a year , i just want to have some fun with it

 

Looks good. I checked out the build thread yesterday. Nice work, and it looks like a fun project.

 

Thanks , it is fun when the funds are there but when they get low its not as much fun its just neat to look at LOL

I finished cutting the other 6 runners today and maybe i hog out the flanges tomorrow .

 

What are you using for the runners , looks like 2 X 3 1/2 box tubing. The way you did the top piece will save on a lot of tig work over building the box out of sheet welded togather go thinking. For the flanges you should have used a set of MMR IRC delete's makes it easy.

nice
can you tell me some info about the car the ratrod.?




BTW
I am working in something like that at the shop< in mine is a 350 SBC>

 

looking fantastic. loving this build

 

Bought the runner material from these guy's http://www.rossmachineracing.com/runnertubing.html and got it real quick , the intake flanges i used 1/2" alum. and made them my self.

Heres the link to the build thread https://www.theturboforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=148729.0 if you want to know anything else let me know and i wil answer as best as i can.


This build started out with a LS 6.0l and went to a sbc 406 and i ended up doing the build with a 4.6l

 

Thanks brother how's your car coming along , i love those new wheels

 

Careful about saying the word "ratrod." Some people out here, Hollywood Hotrods, will cut you. Lol

 

If I can make a suggestion...... IDK much about them, but looked for a while about building one. I would suggest putting the runners you have made in the center. Then trying to angle the front and rear runners towards the carb. The distance will make it harder to reach those cyl's as is. Giving it that length and a sharp angle looks like it will make those cyl very weak. Looks great though. Looking forward to progress.

 

what kind of harnes are you planning to use, painless.?

 

Thank you dustin , your word is always good , i will see what i can do i get alot from your bulds

 

I haven't even thought that far ahead , i usually make my own and i have used painless before so it depends on funds at that time , i do like the pianless idea


Do you have any pics of the rod your building
