that's my cousins hand, lol I have to wear gloves now spend half my time on the phone nowadays work calls, driver problems, breakdowns get sick of greasy phone




its a free flowing inlet, egr blanked off and its the rpm version so is just a little higher which I wanted without fitting a spacer, if its to high I will fit a six pack bonnet bulge




gotta get the headers to fit aswell lots of chopping and welding me thinks lol

matthart

Blimey, that engine is massive! I'll be following this

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

its will be even bigger with the overbore, at 30 thou over its 446 ci which is 7.3 litre, petrol station anyone lol


the biggest stroker kit they do is 541 ci which is 8.9 litres but after the trouble I had with my 3.4 stroker 2jz engine id rather keep a more sensible rod angle and if it fails standard cranks and rods are available cheaply.

Do you get sick of answering the phone.

I thought with the engine/car been old it wouldnt have a egr valve??

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

It is annoying when im busy fixing a machine but its got to be done mate so needs must

On the heads on the middle 2 cylinders each side the exhaust flows back in under the carb through ports in the inket it looks like, then theres what looks like a valve that sits in the port, just done away with the lot with a new non egr intake

Well all the machineing is done, pistons on resized rids, cam bearings in all ready for assembly, I was a little taken back by the £930 + vat bill but I guess they had quite a bit ti do.

Havnt even collected it yet just have no time at all working 7 days again atm to keep up with planthire demand

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Finally got the engine parts home had some time to assemble aswell

Pistons are now almost zero deck, cam timing is bob on, just need to finish assembly and paint it, fit all the chrome and prime and shes good to go hopefully

cheers bud


looks even better now its had a lick of paint
my oil pick up pipe I got is wrong, real steel sending me correct one to go with car sump, gonna look awesome with all the chrome on, gotta make 400 hp im hopeing 7.3 litre, 9.5 c/r, big cam, inlet and carb.




awesome, id love the blower I just couldn't justify the cost.
I think mad max movies have a lot to do with me buying the car lol

Cos500

Great project, love these cars just wish I'd decided to do something similar instead of another cosworth

rooos

first time i've seen this...
love this one!
good job mate !

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

thanks lads im chuffed with it just hopeing the engine lives upto expectations







looking smart now with chrome timing cover on, pickup pipe should be here tmrw need to fit that and prime oil pump and check all rockers get oil, fit chrome valve covers and drop her in the car.


im gonna leave the original cast inlet on for lifting motor in as I don't trust the engine lifting plate being bolted to my new alloy high rise intake lol

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

no pick up pipe fitted the sump so modded the closest one I had to fit.
rocker covers on and crank pulley


need to find time now to mate to gearbox and drop in car and make front engine mounts, im happy though the motor is built and oiled up inside so will be ok left for a while until time is available

rooos

awesome colour!
well done man !
... this one will be a screamer!

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

cheers its coming along slowly


engine is now in the hole, gearbox mount is on and stock prop will fit so that's done.
next job is fabricate front engine mounts when time permits

Now thats an engine.

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Cheers glenn it is a big lump, suspension seems to sit same height as before I expected it to slam it lol, will need uprated torsion bars anyway as its far to soft as it is

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Bit of progress now, had to modify right hand engine mount frame bracket as oil filter was hitting it, made engine mounts from big block and small block brackets welded together, headers are impossible to make fit so I've ordered some stainless block hugger manifolds.

Custom bracket for standard pas pump, custom servo and master mount bracket as was fouling on rocker cover, we aren't to far away now for a first start up and check for leaks

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

stainless block hugger headers fitted and straight through exhaust

so weve had here running




was on 7 in video didn't realise plug lead was dodgy, and spark is very weak and irratic timing all over the place due to not enough juice to run electric fuel pump, fans and ignition, so im fitting 90 amp 1 wire alternator, bigger battery, direct to battery alt wire and double wiring the ignition and dash loom so we maintain full voltage, should be good for test run then seems to have plenty of compression very responsive on throttle not like the old low comp 318 slug that was in it.

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

video fixed above

Awesome project and what a noise

Look forward to seeing more progress

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Glad you like it, got the alternator on and rewired, started up without vac pipe on dizzy and ignition advance was 1 degree lol, so set at 12 degrees which is 37 max, runs great now even without vac advance, just need to wire up cooling fan to temp switch and make sure temperature holds below 90 on fans and were ready for a test drive

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

That sounds mint. You just cant beat the sound of a v8.

gjh

That sounds awesome!

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Cheers the phone video doesn't really do it justice, got the fans hooked up but temperature isn't holding it crept up to 105 then I shut it off, runs sweet though so I'm gonna get new radiator, it's a 6 core on it but the cores are really small and very close together and it's not the original rad, kempston rads gonna fit a more efficient core, it was full of rust when we flushed it.

So close wanna drive it down my 1/4 mile of tarmac

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Massive new rad now fitted 5 core with 16" kenlowe puller mounted to core, still struggles but does keep temp just below 90 stationary, engine is new and still very tight once she loosens up it will be a bit easier on cooling system we have a similar scenario with the 22 litre dozer engines we rebuild, just need thinner filter element so bonnet will shut and release a stuck on brake and it's test drive time

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

weve had a drive in it today




feels good so far, first time I nailed it it filled the car with tyre smoke , one of my fitters grabbed his phone and filmed second one, didn't pull anywhere near as hard and shes now banging from trans and can smell burning trans oil so something is amiss in gearbox now, engine seems good though so far so back on the ramp she goes lol.

rooos

atta car!
it's sad you may have to pull down the gearbox again...
until now you did great, she'll be on the road soon mate!

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Car is on the ramp again, not sure what's wrong with trans but it wasn't changing up and slipping i could feel it.

So I've bit the bullet today and a new tci Street fighter 727 transmission rated up to 625 hp, a 2400 stall tci convertor and an oil cooler for it, not a bad deal at £1800 for the lit I thought

Ive got a new engine so decided best to get a new trans to go with it, I've mentioned to the missus about Santa pod, I've not been in the r35 yet so my plan is to take the gtr and the missus go in the Chrysler and have a go herself in it

rooos

that's quite a plan!
keep us posted mate... i'm gonna watch what's next

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

We are getting there now transmission is now in the hole, tje old trans had done about 4 miles of testing up my 1/4 mile track, it had brand new oil in its now black as engine oil and stinks of burning so there was definitely a serious problem in there

Fingers crossed she will be all good now

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

At least well hopefully it will be fit and forget with the box matey.

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

I hope so mate




It was £1800 for that lot which I thought was good for fresh trans and torque all uprated, old transmission is definitely not right I don't know if it was knackered or if I didn't assemble it right lol

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Ha ha ha. Have you fitted it yet.

scoooby slayer

iTrader: (4)

Got it finished of yesterday, set timing at 35 degrees max advance, jacked up and ran through all gears up to 60 mph, just need the yard to dry up so I can get it out and try it up the road

Love the torque reaction of the body when you blip the throttle
