Re: new 489 ZL-1
Albert, talking with the engine builder on Sunday, man he's PUMPED about this. Now this shop builds some pretty wild motors. and for them to get this worked up is pretty good for me. There's going to be a lot of time and effort put into this.
I really wanted to go with a stick, just don't think I can. so most likely a T400 and a gear vender. Goal is to be able to run in the 8's with it ON MOTOR. That will be a tall feat for sure i know, but I'm quite confident that 9.50 are the without much worrying. Trying to keep as OEM original as I can but for the headers. So when I open the hood, people think it's just a stock car. "MIGHT" run a FAST EFI set-up with a single thottle body for better road manners and we "think" we can pump gas the 13-1 comp.
But here in Ontario, it's a long winter, so will keep the updates going as they come. BTW here are some of the know specs.
- 052 block @ .100 over
- Eagle 4340 crank (lightened)
- Eagle H-beam rods 6.535 long
- SRP 13-1 piston (messaged)
- ARP bolt and headstuds everywhere
- 074 heads done by AFR and cleaned up some more [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
- 163 intake, cut, welded, complete redo on it
- Solid roller cam in the mid .700 range
- .904 Jesel lifters with priority oiling
- trends pushrods (trying to run 1/2" double tapers)
- Titan sportsman pump.
- COMPLETE Calico coated bearings
- Cometic gaskets.
Going in my '69 Nova SS396 car.
So that's it. I have a few carbs I can run, but would like to try the FAST EFI and my buddy is the head tech guy for them and we've talked about what we can do.
