hey inline 300, the block is stock for now with apr head and rod studs and bolts but i am building another motor with forged piston from a 302 that i have in texas,we are going to try to ring the block also but we have never try that before so we are going try it on a old block 1st. the tranny is a AOD but i have a C-6 that has been rebuild for racing that i am going to install after everything is done or if i blow the AOD, man i can't wait thanks for your reply IL300,,,,KEITH
 
hello all, there will be a lil change in plans i am not going to put the engine on my test stand to start it, as soon as i mount the S/C it will be going in my truck, that will save me alot of time and $$$. the only thing i need to do is boost-ref and rebuild my holley 600 carb,install elec fuel pump and you-know all the lil stuff that i will forget about,this week (wed)i will be going to texas to install motor and S/C and hopefully i will be driving it home with about 6 to 8lbs of boost, hope to have pic+vid real soon,,,thank's,,,keith

HELLO ALL I'M IN TEXAS AS I SPEAK, 1ST THING WE DOING IS TO SEE HOW THE S/C MOUNTS ON THE ALUM ADAPTER PLATE THAT I HAD TO BRING HOME TO GET WELDED.WE HAD TO MILL AROUND ALL THE BOLT'S HOLE'S WHERE THE PLATE WAS WELDED THEN AFTER THAT WAS DONE AND EVERY THING FIT IT WAS TIME TO TAKE APART THE CARB SO WE CAN REBUILD IT AND BOOST- REFFRANCE THE CARB,WE USED THE MILL TO MAKE ROOM TO DRILL ON THE SIDE OF THE BASE PLATE WHERE SOME OTHER VAC-LINES THAT WAS NOT NEEDED. THE HOLE THAT WE DRILL GO'S INTO THE POWER VALVE CHAMBER. THEN WE NEED TO MAKe A FRONT MOUNT TO HOLD THE S/C DOWN.HOPEFULLEY WE WILL BE DONE WITH EVREYTHING,I NEED TO PUT THE CARB BACK TOGETHER BOOST -REFFFANCING HAS BEEN DONE ALL MILLING & DRILLING IS DONE ON THE CARB,, I DON'T THINK I WILL HAVE IT READY THIS WEEK I WILL HAVE TO COME BACK NEXT MONTH and try to put it in my truck,,,,,KEITH
 
hey inline300 how you doing, as of now everything is done on the motor i'm just waiting on part's and a Barry Grant FUEL-PRESS-REG to be rebulid by them, i just got a adjustable FMU off of ebay for $45.00 that the seller said he got brand new for a turbo project but it was never used (ha ha) well when i open the box what i saw was a BEGI- H-D cast alum FMU that was nice and well build but as i pick it up the needle valve fell in the box and as i look it over i seen where the needle valve was strip out of it's hole and it look like it was beat on, the FMU as to if it was not working and soneone hit it on the side to get it unstuck nowonder why a $265.00 FMU was only $45.00 but with it being a top of the line FMU i seen they have a rebuild kit for it with the needle valve and all the part's for $30.00 i think i will keep it and the seller said he will give me half of my money back, i all so ask the seller how can you sell something on ebay and tell every one that it is brand new and never used and then send something that has been used and broke in peace's and strip out well he did not say anything just said i'll send you what i owe you 1/2 of $45.00 + shiping, also the barry grant FPR had a leak so i called them for part's and a gasket but they told me that i had to ship it to them for rebuild they don't sell just the part's, so that's kinda what's new over here. i was on the way to pick up my motor and get every thing ready and get it panted and cleaned up before i install it but my friend said he is puting all the pulley's and mount's on the front of the blower now and said he feel's bad that we did not get that much done the last 2 time's we work on it, So i think i will be putting the motor in a few week's, that's all up to the part's and if they get sent on time. How is your build the last time i was reading your post you said that it was runing good but it would shut down every now and then ,you said that you think it may be the ground for i think the ECU. Well keep in touch KEITH
 
finally the engine is DONE, got in the FPR from barry grant that was bad when i got it from them, they said that i would cost no less than $45.00 to rebuild so i sent it to them, well i did not here anything from them for about 3 to 4 week's. then they called me and said that there will be no charge because if they did not contact me in 1 week to let me know about the repair and kinda left hanging that it will be no charge, and that's with anything that you send to them. the motor will be going in inabout 2 or 3 week's, the only thing left to do is paint the motor and the fire wall and that's about it, all the idler pulley's are done carb has been rebuild and boost reference, hope to have pic's and video of start up and burn out's,,can't wait,,,,,,,thank's,,keith
 
hey inline 300,well i am going in with the magnacharger as we speak and i am in texas by my friend's shop (pixley racing) where my motor has been, as of now every thing is off the engine and now we are starting to put the late model bracket's on the older motor, the other motor the one that i had in all the pic that i been workin on and spending alot of money on was no good it had no compression so i am using the older motor that i have in the truck now, it will be alot easyer to get going, i will not have to mess with the exhaust , or change the dizzy, i need to put the late model waterpump on the 83 engine then sometime today we will have the offey 4-B intake and the s/c adapter plate and finally the supercharger and the boost-ref carb on the motor, hopefully i can do the first start by tomorrow but you know how that go's and i kinda need to by done by wedsday morning because i have a doctor's appointment in baton rouge so i may have to get a ride from texas to my house in central louisiana to get my bad a_s ford focus soon to be turbocharged and head back up here to try and get this blower done, i just wanted to say that it's finally time i can't wait,soon as i get back home i will put some pic's up and i am going to try a video mybe on youtube will see what happen's,,,,,,I'LL BE BACK,,,,KEITH
 
i'ts done installed every thing last night use the stock fuel pump hit the key and it crank right up, runs great idle's fine but i have to go to baton rouge and will be back on the 3rd or 4th here in texas, i took a few pic's and video will have pic's up some time today and will try to install video also, i'm going to try to put vidio of first start on youtube if i can't install wih my pc, well just wanted to let everyone know it has been all most done and will have more pis's soon,,,,,,,thank's,,,,keith
 
hey what's up ,there was a big fan we had blowing on us and i think that was messing the sound up, and that was open header's, it all went together so easy and it started right up. stock fuel pump, did not do anything with the dizzy are anything. the test was great, next the test ride,,,,,keith
 
IT's done finally, we took about 3 to 4 min's of video that my friend has that he said he was putting it on youtube but he has not yet so i just email him and told him to email it to me. soon as i get it i will get it up on photo bucket.the truck run's dam good, from takeoff it smoke's both wheel's thru 1st,2nd,3rd and stop's spining when to trans shift's in to AOD all under 3500 rpm's, and i did it all with that lil bitty stock fuel pump the truck has so much torque i can't believe how the motor sound's like it is not working hard at all it does it all with very low rpm's, and the blower sound's like a jet turbine and now that i had to cut a hole in my hood for the top of the carb it's even louder. so now that every is done i have a short block that i been rebuilding for this blower and a port/polish head that i did also, i hate to have to take it back off the street but the motor i'm putting in has alot of work done to it and is build to take what that blower want's to give to it hopefully it will be done with that by 11-20-10 for our local car show and power tour. oh and some said that i will need a FMU or a boost-ref fuel press reg did not need any of that, just the stock fuel pump to the boost-ref carb,,,thank's,,,keith
 
i for got to tell everyone about fuel economy i do not have any number's yet but all i can say is that it use to take me 3/4 of a tank of fuel with the 1barrel carb stock in/ex manifold to go to texas, now with the magnacharger,offey C manifold, hooker header's,MSD 6, it only take's 1/4 of a tank, the day that we did the test ride and the video i had just filled it up with shell 93 tang and i must have did 25 takeoff's and launch's, burn out's and drove around all day sat and sunday and i know that if i would have done that with the old 1 barrel carb i would have had to fill up again but i only use a lil less than a 1/4 of a tank,and now that my 83 year old dad seen the MPG that i get now he's thinkin about a blower for his truck,,,,,thank's,,,keith
 
what crossflow head i wish i had one, i have a stock head that i am installing that has been port/polish on a motor that i rebuild for the supercharger with a few goodies in it as we speak, hope to have it back together before 11/20/10 for the local show and power tour. i am still waiting for my friend to send the video we made of the test drive and truck after installing magnacharger,,,,thank's,,,keith
