80 Mirada,

[80mirada]

I still need to get some gaskets and valve seals

The plan is to put a cam in it and use it as a 360. I have a worn standard bore block that will be the basis of a more serious build later. This one is getting a windage tray and a camView attachment 47750

That's an easy 400 streetable horse power right there. Enjoy!

Windage tray and new pump and pickup installed, with new core plugs.

 

[80mirada]

Just finished painting the block

 

[80mirada]

Progress is being made, the head is only on temporarily

 

[80mirada]

I forgot to order longer pushrods, and waiting on a melonited oil pump drive gear.

What are the cam specs?

 

[80mirada]

219/227 @ .050, .549/.566 with 1.6 rockers, .515/.530 with 1.5 rockers. It is a Lunati VooDoo

Just some glamour shots

In and mounted

 

[80mirada]

Intake came in today, just set it on to see how it looks. Got it painted, hope to install it tomorrow

 

[80mirada]

Got the good valve covers on and the painted intake installed

 

[80mirada]

Oil filter adapter on, pump primed, and distributor installed.

 

[80mirada]

I installed a 90° adapter for the oil filter. The headers are so close to the frame rail I had to run an oil filter for my SRT4 inorder to get it in and out without removing the header..... damn it.

Having problems finding the right sized belt fory custom alternator mount. Should have the right one on Tuesday.

This is a bad photo for this, but you can see it on the side. Dad moved his oil filter up to the passenger side inner fender, where the vapor canister used to be. He made two of the brackets that the oil filter adapter is bolted to. I was going to do the same thing until I decided to go big block and the oil filter is on the driver's side.

If this looks like something you want to do I'll ship the bracket out to you for cost of the ride. Cheers.

 

[80mirada]

I appreciate the offer, but I already have a setup planned, for the future

 

[80mirada]

Got the right belts and my plug wire separators. Shipping is so damn slow right now....

 

[80mirada]

I finally feel like I'm making progress again.
