Just drop my car off at the Chassis Shop to get a Cage

[90NotchBack]

Here are pic of what it looks like when I drop it off last night. I took the old roll bar and everything out of it. I'm getting a 12 point cage and new seat installed. I'll start build the new motor next week. It's going to be a FE 427 stroked to a FE 486ci. Hoping for high 9's on motor at 3200lbs. I also have a Wilson plate system on it. But the car is for backet racing so the Nitrous will only get used a few times. I hope to finish my dads car before I get mine back.

I picked it up last night. I have a few thing I want to do to it before I put it back together. I'm also waiting on my Pistons to be made. I should have them in 2 weeks.

Here is my Fiberglass hood that i will be made in to a 4in cowl hood.

Those seats don't look very comfortable. Hope you don't hit your nogan on the headrest.

Looking good Brandon!

Very nice, what are the plans?

I plan to be well in the 9's at 3200lbs. It should make 760+hp n/a. But you really don't know exactly what it will do until it's done.

The heads have 70cc which will make the compression around 13.7:1 which is not what I want. I have Iron CJ Head. I want 14.5:1 so I either mill these heads or just put them on they way they are and later down the road sell them and get what they are worth and buy I nice set of BT or Dove alumium heads. The cam I'm running is a comp cam soild roller .740 lift 276in 284ex duration @.050

Why are the main cap spacers on the outside? If you don't mind, where did you get the 427 block and how much?

 

[90NotchBack]

My boss had four of these blocks he is using one for his 454ci and one for mine 487ci and the other two where cracked The spacer are just on the outside cause that where I put them until I'm ready to put the crank in and torque everything down.
