heads are done. the valve shrouding is gone. titanium valves. custom high pressure valve springs. shaft mount rocker setup is done. the machinist was able to make big block chevy shaft rockers work. same 1.73 ratio. solid lifters. custom cam. no more baby 232/236 @ .050. now its in the high 24x's at .050 and bumping the lift up to .700 cam the heads have been o-ringed and will work with a ford MLS gasket. also the head bolt holes have been drilled out and stainless inserts have been pressed in. it has something to due with cylinder head expansion and keeping the head from lifting. we're expecting to run 35lbs of boost through an 82mm bullseye turbo.
I dropped my single port lower intake off to another machine shop who says the single port lower will support 1k horsepower all day long. so he's making me a custom upper that has dual throttle bodies that point at a 45 degree angle from straight forward. so basically one TB will be pointed towards where the alternator was, and another will be pointed where the a/c compressor was. with dividers and guide plates to direct air inside the manifold.
as for fuel, I'll be running straight meth. with a pair of 220lb injectors per intake runner. a 12 gph belt driven pump will be where the power steering was.
coils will be plain jane LS coils, they're good enough for my goals.
ecu will be ProEfi128.
its good having friends with knowledge and skills. its a fun project for everyone.
the goal is 1k hp through an automatic trans. why? for the fun of it!
