Check out my new Indy Light motor !!

[Nashty]

Finished up with all the assembly a few weeks ago and the top secret project has been sitting in my basement since then. I'm trying to figure out how to wire this so it works in the Metro. The biggest problem seems to be hood clearance.

Before anyone asks, yes I did build this and it is my first and last Stage headed project.

Nice looking deal Roger.
How fast do you want to go?

Well, here at BM racing (that's Big Metro), spare no expense as you know. Nothing but top of the line stuff so I can have the mostest, fastest, bestest of it all. I haven't had time to add it all up yet. I'm still waiting of the machine shop bill from DLS, they ran out of paper writing up the bill.

My goal is to have the baddest TSM (Terrifically Shiny Metro) for the 05 season. To do that, you've got to have some serious wattage. I have a team from Westinghouse contracted to investigate possibly wiring it for 480V.

(Actually, it has blue christmas tree lights inside each cylinder that glow out the exhaust ports and up thru the stacks. You turn them on with the red pushbutton sticking out of the cam sensor connector.)

Guys, I do believe he is trying to pull one over on us. Fancy ass end table. That is so cool! Must have a lot of spare time on his hands.

You know, if you pull the heads off of that you can fill the crankcase with ice, and chill some wine bottles in the cylinder bores.

I'm way ahead of ya here.

I was thinkin with my foil cap on while designing this. (Reduces the voices distracting me from my true genious work.) The oil pan fitting was replaced with a garden hose fitting.

Why you ask?

Well, after drinking all that fine wine, a man's got to take a piss, incidentally, around these parts we say "I've got to piss like a race horse". When I've got that race horse urge, I simply shoot'r down any of the (6) available exhaust ports where it collects in the high zoot Hamberger oirl pan. When she starts backing up, I roller over to the sump pump hole in the corner and emty the ol' girl out (~cousin Eddy style~). THAT'S where the hose fitting comes in, so I don't soirl my fancy shag carpeting in the bathroom closet. Then I simply plug in the sump pump and let that baby deliver a high pressure spluge of funktant into my neighbor's window well. (His dandelions there are FABULOUS !!)

I don't know what is more shocking, that I understand what you're saying, or what you plan on doing.

is that kensler injection setup on the top of that there motor?

 

[Nashty]

Yep, I got it from Muscle Motorsports auction site some time back. On of them was used, one was brand new. It was pretty cheap I thought.

The heads I got at the MW challenge - $50 (combustion chamber vol. is about 1cc, they've been massively milled. The dampner was $5 from same guy.

Oil pan & modified front covercame with parts trade.

Valve covers are rough (one is cracked along bolt pattern).

Block is the one I used to mock up the Metro ~ free.

I made the stand, valley cover and glass supports.

That's pretty cool Roger!.....
