My buddy's pro-Mod Nova

[Big Stu]

Here are a couple of pics of my friend chucks new toy. This thing has gone 6.20@227 with a smaller engine combo and a less trick blower. Current billet block was machined in house and the heads are dart big chief olds style. Tranny is an air shifted lenco 3 speed with a lakewood bellhousing/ crower titanium clutch, yada yada. Blower is a littlefield 14-71 with billet rotors/ magnesium case, 16 injectors run on alcohol. Dyno pulls have shown 2700 hp so far with a lot more to go. Chassis is your typical dual frame rail pro-mod setup. We are going to finish up some fuel lines next weekend and take it to phoenix for some serious ass kicking. It should be a handful.

Here's a couple more. The pic of the head is a chevy/hemi style head that is similar to sonny leonards heads but actually flows more with some revisions being made. I'm still trying to talk chuck into making me a billet stage style block for less than $8k. It could be done tomorrow if I had the money but I don't. Now does everybody believe me?

Sick car Stu!!!! I have often thought that if somebody wanted to build the baddest Buick style motor a custom Billet block from somebody like CN Blocks would be the way to go and then of course 12 160lb injectors for the Meth and twin GT-42 76mm turbos :biggrin: If I ever win the lottery.....

Thanks steve! Yeah we are pretty excited with it. This guy machines solid chunks of titanium that are 60 feet long and 8 feet wide so a billet aluminum block is no problem. The expensive part is a chunk big enough for a block which is about $5k and then to set up the tooling for it. I agree about the lottery.....

I know it's possible, we've talked about that too. Pretty soon here I'll be financially set to give it a shot. That would be cool.

Do you have access to any Indy heads to compare the port configuration???

I know, wish it was mine. I'll go over there tomorrow and get some shots of his real live dyno that Nick Arias GAVE him. Nice to have money I guess.....

I don't.... You got a set laying around?

 

[John Wilde]

Kendall Fredrick has a set and I think that Odie has some too.

If and when I got closer to actually having the funds to do it, then i would acquire a set of the indy heads to compare. That would be pretty cool though.

Agree. That hemi head looks great!! Did he build the head himself?

Wicked ride too.

Yes, this guy is pretty smart. He makes a lot of stuff for racing guys. I have the blueprints for that head on a cd-rom somewhere, I've been procrastinating putting those up too. I will have to try to find where I put it....

Yeah for sure dude. I think we are going to speedworld. I don't know if he is going to run the car full out or just make some eighth mile laps. I will let you know when we are going.

you know its a bad machine when the blower is higher than the roof line....SICK
