my scj headed 472

This is the motor that will be going into my car this winter for next season been working on the chassis so really haven't got much done on the motor lately but I thought I would share some pics over here.

Did you buy those pistons from Carl? Our builds look similar, but I'm using a flat tappet. What's the build?

Thanks for sharing, looking good...the wheels look homeless though (smart ass comment expected)...Get er Done!

Nice progress

like!

Thanks for all the motivation guys.

Yellowstang- it is a 10.84:1 comp with stock crank and h beam rods has a solid roller in the high 600-low 700 rang.

Falconeh- those wheels went on my old turbo small block car. My little brother was at my shop that night getting all my small block parts and them old wheels. Little brothers just think they can have free go fast parts.

Now I just need to get a electric water pump

I have always had good luck with the CSR pumps, they do draw a lot of amps though!...What is the aluminum piece on the right against the wall? (firewall?) looking good, getter' done...&...Start it and do a buuuuurrrrrnnnnn ooooouuuuutttt

I looked at them that might be what I get. That is a front engine plate against the wall- I'm going to build a twin turbo ranger some day.

Well you know I got a good friend that lives right there in Naples and he send me stuff all the time...every time I get a package from him its like a box of chocolate never know what I get

I'm thinking about putting this motor in my 77 step side short bed truck.

What do you guys think?

What balancer is that? You neutral balanced?

It's a lil heavier than a tube chassis Pinto, but will make a killer sleeper ...but we need pics!
Big bearing/bolt everything and easy to narrow when more tire is desired...plus I just like them

Its a frpp balancer it is external balance all 460 balancers are zero balance if its internal it just has a bushing behind it if its external it has the hatchet that goes on the snout behind the balancer.

This is the ol truck I'm not much for older stuff but it seems like the more I drive it the more I like this ol truck it has a small block in it right now
