Another Dart Little M SBC build........

I think it is too far to gravity drain.... Im going to use a pump.

I have a Weldon oil pump if interrested $200 shipped.

what radiator are you using? I'm trying to find a place to put a pt101. looks like a good idea. 4" or 5" down pipe?

Nice build!!!

Beautiful fab work there! Loving it!

Nice work on the crosover. I would try the gravity feed if at all possible. It doesnt take much for it to drain into the pan. I finally have the pump situation figured out, took some more fab work but it finally works as designed.

Just wondering, does the xpansion joint on your crossover have mesh inside or is it accordion? The mesh internals will come appart and cause you issues.

Sent you a PM.

Its the Jegs brand 22" wide one.

The way these headers are, I am forced to run a pump now.


The flex pipe isn't the mesh on the inside, I had heard about the problems with that.

Just curious... how much horsepower do those engines make without boost? Louie yours to? Rough estimate? Looks nice! Keep posting those pics and good luck to all you guys!

 

[Louie L.]

A guestimate would be somewhere about a tick over 1hp per ci. So about 425-450 hp naturaly aspirated.

Some more update pics.

 

[Louie L.]

After seeing your motor plate, I decided to do one myself. Then, that grew to removing the radiator, fan, water pump, build a cm core support.....

 

[V6Power87]

That looks nice Louie. Did you keep the engine in the same location?

My core support is cut all to hell, LOL. The radiator mounting and bumper mounts are CM now.

 

[V6Power87]

Just noticed your sig.... Is the 106 gone?

 

[KWIKR 1]

Very cool !! Is that a Edelbrook "Super Vic" on that ? what's the census of going to a mid plate ? is it HP related ? is it needed for a street/strip car that would go to the track 2-3 times a year that was pushing 750-800 rwhp ?

 

[KWIKR 1]

ops....took a closer look at the manifold . looks like a Victor E .

Yes it's at Precision for an update...

Yes I would use one on that much hp, unless you have some other way to keep the motor from moving around.

Got any pics of the cm stuff?
