Need some engine advice and suggestions...
I finally got my chassis and suspension squared away, now I need some suggestions/advice from all you motor gurus, . I'm trying to get my truck as streetable as possible (I drive it to work several times a week, ), yet still be very "salty" at the strip.
Here's a link to the chassis/interior updates: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=358692 First, let me say that I didn't build the motor or transmission. Here's a list of what I have done myself or have been able to determine that had been done by the previous owner. The motor was built by T&L Engine Development out of North Carolina (http://www.tandlengines.com/) and appears to be very well built. I have a lot of paperwork so I'll answer any questions the best I can. What I'm looking for are suggestions or recommendations about what has already been done or what should be done in the future to make this setup as efficient as it can be. Here's a list of what I know: Vortech V2 Supercharger (8" crank pulley) 50 mm Blow-off valve: http://www.vsracing.net/catalog/prod...43aaf05a7d8c53 383 stroker motor (1 piece rear main seal) All forged internals 9:1 Compression Carrillo forged crank and rods - http://www.carrilloind.com/LinkClick...vg%3d&tabid=60 SRP pistons - http://www.jepistons.com/Catalogs/SR...0-400_inv.aspx Dart Pro 1 Platinum 200 aluminum heads with roller rockers, chamber port volume 69, intake port volume 200, 2.02 intake, 1.6 exhaust, 3425 springs, PBM seals, CompCam pushrods in/exh 7809-16 http://www.dartheads.com/products/cy...num-heads.html PRW Stainless steel roller tip rockers (1.5 3/8) - http://www.performanceracingwarehous...cker-arms.html Competition cam - XR276HR-12 ----Operating Range:1800-5800 ----Duration Advertised:276° Intake/281° Exhaust ----Duration @ .050'':224° Intake/230° Exhaust ----Valve Lift:.503° Intake/.510° Exhaust ----Lobe Separation Angle:112° MSD 6BTM ignition box with adjustable boost retard and 6K rev limiter MSD billit mechanical distributor (blue/silver springs 36 degrees) 8MM wires Edelbrock Performer RPM HPC coated intake QFT 750 Ban Blow through carb Aeromotive boost adjusted FPR, http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/products.php?prod=20) Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump, http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/products.php?prod=165) 10 AN lines from tank to FPR, 8AN return, 8AN carb Custom aluminum tank with sump and return SS headers (1 3/4" primaries) 50 Series flowmasters, 2 1/2 exhaust Factory recommends Autolite AR3933, it seems to run better with NGK 45 spark plugs (.0045 gap, is this a good plug and is the gap good?) 180 Thermostat (to high or to low?) PVC valve installed Sid Neal TH350 SFI flexplate 2800 stall torque converter (to high/to low?) 31' rear tires, 4.11 Yukon gears with Eaton posi and moser axles They dyno sheet I got shows 631.1 TQ @ 4900 rpm and 622.7 HP @ 5400 rpm. The run was only to 5500 rpm. Supposedly it's built to go to 7500 RPM..... This is my first really high performance engine (and supercharger) and I want to make sure I don't break anything because something is incorrectly setup or something is missing. I'm open to any suggestions, recommendations, and/or changes to make this a strong running combination. Fire away at what you think is good, bad and ugly.........
