358ci of fury?
 

Just wanted to post about a motor I've been working on at school. Been having a lot of fun playing with it so far. Its a 358ci SBC 10:1 CR, custom grind cam, Crower solid roller lifters, comp cams pushrods, and Jesel shaft rockers. We're using a older set of Pro Action 200cc heads. Originally we had a mechanical injection setup using Methanol on it that we acquired and were using a magneto to fire it. Something just wasnt right, after numerous pulls, misfiring etc. We gave up with the best showing of 475hp.

I had the bright idea t then swap a single plane Victor Jr. on it (wish we had a super victor) and use the 950hp we have. So after swapping everything, checking valve lash and cleaning out the motor from the Methanol mess it's read to go. Should be doing initial pulls on it tomorrow. Gonna test the crank water pump we have VS. a CSR electric pump, then I'll be taking the manifold back off and porting it out to a 1206 to match the heads and clean up the rest of the manifold.

Heres a few pics:

Sweet! electric water pump is gunna win the battle though!!!

THATS BADASS!!!!

^^looks like thats were you should have gone buddy!^^

I figured the electric pump would, I'm curious by how much though?

I would like to do a header test as well but I dont think we have anything bigger and those only look 1 5/8" to me?

I like the school. Learned a lot since I've started. I got a junk 305 head to flow over 200cfm and am currently blowing out the valve seat for a 1.94 valve.. Need to rework the bowl now too but its all in good fun. We ground it for a 30*/45*/60* valve angles.

those headers look to be 1 3/4" from the picture. tough to tell. is the outlet 3" usually 1 5/8" headers are 2.5"

Not sure but everyone says they look too small even without measuring and theres a big gap between the middle pipes and on my Hookers theyre almost hugging.

Well after a conservative tune up, 34* timing, and not even playing with the 750HP carb(only one we could use) and a 2" spacer.. it made 496hp @ 6500 rpm and 462 ft/lbs of TQ at 5000 rpm. It mirrors the pulls very good, one after the other it put the same #'s down. We feel it has more to gain with manifold porting(already started) and a bigger carb. Hoping for 525 with the manifold though!

Nice, what school are you at? Looks like a good time.

Wyotech, currently in my High Performance Power trains class

Im guessing Wyotech in Bedford? why is that location not on their website? How much is tuition may I ask???

he is in PA.

I'm in Blairsville PA, I think the bedford one is only planes.

Well the motor is strapped to the dyno yet again..

Only changes are fully ported Victor Jr. #2975 and I have my Quick Fuel Q750 going against the Holley 750HP we used on the last test. I hope my manifold work does well!

I'm still pissed i didn't go there lol

I'm pissed I didnt come here sooner..

Well we didnt get a chance to play with my Quick Fuel, the acc. pumps went bad over the winter and started leaking.

Bolted the 750HP back on and with the ported manifold it has a best of 516HP @ 6600RPM and 467TQ @ 5200

Got a new set of headers to put on it next.

h/o lemme break out my calc 3 notes and calculate the divergence of the intake runners to calculate how much optimal flow you should be getting.

How bout you open a can of stfu kthnxbye

kthnxbye? I though we all graduated high school lol

If your serious, lets do some crazy math and hand port my heads, and then i can put up hand ported heads on my mods list on ls1tech and everyone will tell me how awful they must be. HAHAHA

Ok well I see posting anything useful/serious on here wa a waste of time..

I wouldn't say that, I read everything that's posted. Your "test" engine makes more power then my car. im gonna be going back to school for auto mechanicsin the fall and we don't have a dyno at the school so its pretty sweet you have one and can test this shit.

Wait What?

Apparently school is making him a wee bit uppity :)

:qft:

hey look at me i got a piece of paper with my name on it! so do a bunch of people that are unemployed....

Not giving me much hope for going back to school in the fall man. lol

oops! lol

I hate the giant catch 22 business owners put you in for entry lvl positions "You can work here if you have a couple years xp." Well, I cant get exp in an industry if i cant get an entry lvl job with out prior exp.....

Why Im hoping a degree in auto mechanics will help.....

well im in school as i am typing this and i have a summer quater....then im done....and will not have a job nor will most of my classmates that have sent out their resumes to like 50 different companys lol....talk about motivation

Things will get better..just have to ride it out and put up with the 'rents for a while LOL

Already have had 3 job offers here.. i dunno..

Thumbs up?

I lived in PA once, never again lol

I agree PA sucks, thats why I turned them down. I dont wanna stay around here.. fuck that..

And Mike, go fuck yourself, get off my back about shit.

awww i really just don't care if i bother you. cry about it.

Now Girls No Hair Pulling!!!!
