A Different Sort of Build Thread

Is there an over/under for the dyno pulls?

What are your expectations, shauna?

You guys can make bets.

I'm thinking 600/600 at the flywheel.

I don't know enough about this stuff to even hazard a guess

I can see 600hp as there is headwork being dont and the build looks super. 600lb/ft is a shit-ton, and if it makes that it will be crazy. I am looking forward to seeing the results. My guess is 585hp/550tq

It took two of us to get the balancer bolt torqued down, but it's done. After that fun stuff, I went upstairs to finish off porting the intake side of the cylinder head.
Thankfully the last bit I needed to do went by rather quickly, and I didn't end up with metal down the back of my shirt.
Finishing up some port work:


Not too bad.

So now that the porting is done, it's time to test out the flow.

The intake side flows 297 cfm with a 3.910 bore.
Monday I'll start getting the valve job done. Depending on PTV and push rod length, I could have this engine on the dyno by the end of next week.

No, but that crap gets everywhere!

You need to post a video of this mother on the dyno when all is said and done.

Don't worry, I will. It's almost time to charge the GoPro.

we would also like an spl recording of the exhaust. I would imagine this thing will sound rude

That's a Holden Commodore ^^^^

Her's will sound similar, I'm guessing ?
