sexy. glad I don't see a fram on there

That looks great! Maybe it was discussed in another thread, but what heads are those and what displacement/cr is this gonna give you?

 

[MattZ281LE]

Heads are ported Vic Jr's.

JE Dish Pistons with a 26cc dish . about 8.25 comp ratio.

The chambers have been opened slightly on the head and a very small amount planing the heads.

The motor is 363.5 CI

 

[Therian]

that thing is going to be an absolute beast

The block looks awesome!

 

[ProKiller]

what lifters are those? and whats the deal with the guide plate things on them?

why not a rubber gasket on the oil pan?

looks amazing!

 

[MattZ281LE]

The lifters are Crane retro fit tie bar lifters. My block is not machined for the stock style spider.

The pan DOES have the blue 1 piece Felpro rubberized gasket.

do you have any more pics.

did you put it together????

 

[BlackVert]

how does one get 363.5 cubes?

those lifters are expensive, i guess it is not a roller block?

 

[Bosko5.0]

bore out a 302 dart block

or bore a 351 dart block

why is there a z28 in the picture

 

[MattZ281LE]

Its a 4.125 bore dart block.
3.4 Stroke

The lifters are about 450.00 on a good day. I won't mention how much I will have in this total. Its not machined for the roller lifter spider.

I have more pix. Will post them up in a day or so.

I am waiting on the custom pushrods. Should be here tomorrow (well today now)


Its hard to avoid pix of that orange bastard in my garage. I love that car though. Ordered it brand new in Nov 98 and racked up a total of 19k miles so far. Its what led me to get back into cars and expand out into the Mustang field. I have been on here since I bought my 95 Mustang back in 2000.

Sorry the ramblings of an old man.

Very nice, I have contemplated going with a 4.125 bore dart motor for next year. I guess it is all going to depend on how much cash I can scrape together.

Keep us updated on the progress. I love looking at, and reading about new buildups.
