Project CIII

Cool Project... with a huffed-up SBF it sounds like "The Midnight Stranger" will be doing some black-tracking.

Slight change of plans...

Blown small block probably going to be replaced with a blown Cleveland...

Are we opening the bowtie denial argument, don't get me wrong Kudos for going with the blown Cleveland top end will be endless, but if a Windsor is a small block so is a Cleveland same bore shorter deck height 9.2 vs 9.5 ...bowtie denial hmmmm

Uhhhh...no....

The block for the blown 302 has been re-purposed...
It's now the base for the new dirt late model motor.

Helps that I have a Cleve blower manifold on the shelf...

LOL... I was referring to the inference that the Cleveland wasn't a small block, used to hear it a lot from the sbc guys. The project is ultra cool and and will definitely haul the mail keep the updates comming

Is the "Midnight Stranger" going to be black or ????

Update....

The car will probably be painted Blue Flame Metallic, same as the dragster..

Looks like the car won't get the blown 302...

Now it's either a N/A 420" sbf OR a blown cleveland....

No blown 302? WTF?

Let me borrow yours ??!!

Parts for the blown 302 went into the "Crate Motor Killa"..

What carbs are putting on it? Got 2 very special center squirters that would be perfect if you are interested?

All you need is a stock Explorer 5.0 and bolt the blower on!

You can get a low mileage on for $800-900.

Of take the other 5.0 that you have on the stand......

The "exploder" motors around here we get them for 200-400$ the most we have put on one was 640hp on the dyno I'm not saying they won't take more or less but gots to be on the spot. All stock bottom end with a cam and v/s change.

You have the tire package for the blown Cleveland...Badd Azz, Black Tracking, Blown Cleveland, Street / Strip Annihilating Blue Midnight Stranger Monster Mutha F^($@N Cleveland small block...moor the boat with the exploder...
Blown Cleveland FTW

its going to look pretty bad a with the blue paint

I think I still have some Cleveland stuff in the cupboard, 3/8 pushrods, stud girdle and roller cam mid .600 lift, probably some titanium retainers too, if you have a use for them.

Bump for an update

Some progress..
410" Windsor and Doug Nash 5 speed mocked in place..

That thing is going to be bad ass.

that capri is cool as hell

Stick wit that blown Cleveland, nothing wakes up a lazy oversize port than an overdriven blower...............

I am digging it ! I like the set up in the last pics. It will be a hoot to drive and race !

I didn't see a power adder on the 410w is it going to be a all motor deal Should be fun no doubt

Looks like it should have been delivered that way

Hell you got enough room to a Boss 9 in there...

Funny you should say that...
Before Dad passed, he talked about doing exactly that..
I was afraid it would make the car too nose heavy...
