Blown boss 9 66' Fairlane

The two years I ran my Boss 9 in EMC @ 432" N/A on (10.5 & 11.5:1) Pump Gas we made anywhere from 680 hp to 740 hp

I'd think a 1000 hp with some boost (7- would be pretty realistic @ 521"

Thanks Dave, that's some good news seeing a fellow boss motor making those numbers. The mad scientist are working on it, so i have total faith they will be able to create some impressive numbers!

I have been real busy and just noticed this post. Some delays with some part manf. has not helped for sure. Everything will be fine. Things will come together real soon and you will have plenty of power. Very excited about this build and trying to make sure we make great decisions and choices.

damn this is a sweet build .....you guys gonna put her on the dyno ?

yes sir.

Very nice

wow what a cool build.

can't wait for dyno day...going to be one loud s.o.b....even on the car we're running 4in through borla xr-1's and it will poke out before the rear tires.

I'm heading back stateside and should be back in the states Monday, so it will be nice relax for a bit before coming out there.

Well i received a phone call today from Charlie on the porting work. The one head is complete and the other is close behind and should be done in the next day or so. The one head was put on the flow bench and i'm sure Charlie will chime in with the results.

Guys,

In the pictures that Don has posted, they are Boss Nine hemi heads from Kaase Racing and are really nice. In the topmost picture, the head on the top has not been ported, and the bottom one has. Then in the second picture, the head on the left has not been ported, but the head on the right has. All the rest of the photos are of the ported head.

Because this is a blower motor, I am just lightly going over the intake ports, and I roughed up the floor of the intakes with a mounted point (from Cylinder Heads Abrasives in CA), knowing that this engine is a street engine with part throttle driving on the schedule. The intakes have a 2.300" valve and really good mid-lift flow numbers. They peak out at about 420-425 cfm on our "tight" flow bench. I did work on the exhaust a good bit harder and they go to 315-320 cfm without a test pipe. The exhaust valve is 1.900".

Hope this helps,
Charlie Evans

very nice work chalrie the ports look like a work of art

well got a photo from Phillip the block is painted


Dad was able to make the changes needed to the frame for the radiator. If you look at some of the older pictures the frame was widened out. The shock towers had some adjustments made.






The car had sat in a junk yard/swamp land and the result is things like this needing to be fixed.

well some updates:

Got some photos from phillip today and the short block is coming together.













also received my corbeau seats since sparco couldn't get their crap together after 5 months of waiting. corbeau has my vote customer service was great, sales person was very helpful, and i had them in less than a week. black cloth with grey micro fiber




competition engineering wheelie bars showed up




also been doing some re-working of the hinge setup on the frontend for the flip front setup.

Great job on the build.
Looks like you're getting help from the right people as well.

Me too !!

Stopped down in Ky on my way back to NC to see some progress. While i was there we decided on a few changes. The blower pullies will be flipped inward to releave the stress on the crank and the blower drive. We initiallly had it the other way due to clearance on a mechanical water pump and the pulley on it. We will be going to an external pump which will allow for all the accessories to have there own belt and adjuster. We are now down to some of the smaller details being worked out before getting it up on the dyno.

santa came again and dropped some things off

magna fuel 4 port regulator to help with the 500 pump



B&M ratchet shifter- this will be mostly a street car and with a reverse manual valve body it will be nice to just ratchet forward or back a gear.


All the gauges showed up except i need to test the sending unit before i buy the fuel level gauge. The are all autometer ultralites. Tach is a 5", speedo is 3-3/8, volt, oil pressure, oil temp, transmission temp, water temp all 2-1/16, and then the liquid filled fuel pressure and boost will be on the back of the blower and are 2-5/8. I will be replacing the bulb to a blue one so at night the edge will glow blue.



I also picked up a FAST dual O2 sensor module. I want to be able to monitor the a/f on this thing at all times being that it's boosted. We will be mounting it behind a stainless piece so all you will see is the screen and then the buttons. I also picked up the RPM module so i can record a run and it will be referenced to the RPM.


last but not least i picked up a clarion double din deck. The deck has it all bluetooth, dvd, gps, xm, ipod, rear view camera. This is a driver, not a race car so i plan on having some of the nicer things.
