so i figured now was the time to show u all my powerplant,its a 436 sbc,built this engine myself,took about 1 year to get all the parts together and locate a good block,finding the right block took most of the time,needed one with thick cylinder walls to be able to handle the power i was putting to it,that took about 6 months and was well worth the weight,this block is as stought as a after market block,every cylinder is at least .250 thickness and most are over .300 so it should easily handle the power im giving it.so now that i have the block,its time for the machining,has billet splayed main caps by eagle.bored .40 over.now its time to start collecting all the parts to put this bad boy together,has eagle light weight forged crank,kryptonite h-beam rods.clevitte bearings all around,total seal rings.has mahel custom made pistons light weight,with 9.5:1 compression with 64cc heads,my plans for later are to twin turbo charge,after a good break-in.has crower custom made solid roller cam,crower roller lifters.cam specs are 112 LSA,.630/.635 lift.and 256 duration.comp-cams 1 piece pushrods,new compcams dual springs,scorpion roller rockers in 1.7 ratio.the heads are nothing really fancy,there 228cc RHS iron lightning elites,there fully cnc ported.they work good and make tons of power.have a team g intake on top,with a holley 750 HP reworked by AED.this engine is a beast and makes awesome lowend power,on the dyno it made 630 hp at 5300 rpms,and made 680 ft.lbs of torque at 4200,even at 2,000 rpms this engine made 420 ft.lbs of torque.

thx greg i appreciate it,i got some headman headers to put on it.seems there the best fitting ones of all.especially with angle plugs.good luck on ur 350 build or better yet,that 6.0 would be awesome,there pretty easy to find and cheap considering the power they make stock.

Your welcome...I have some LT Headmans as well that I will be running if I stay with my sbc

edit: those Yenko valve covers are sick looking, cant wait to see it all together...what color is planned for the body ?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

FYI, corporate blue is a the color for Ford engines...

its gonna be painted bright cobalt blue metallic,its an awesome color,just wait and see i have started painting a little bit of the car already,the firewall,innerfenders and door jams are done already.

no im talking about the GM corpoarte blue that came on all engines in 79,wich is the correct color for my year.almost but not quiet the same color as the ford blue.

[bad436z28]

ok so now the front bumper cover is finally done,time to move on to the passenger right fender,as this needed some work,hid 2 small dips in the top edge, i pounded them out the best i could with the area i had to work in then used some evercoat filler.also sanded the whole fender down with 180 grit,then 400 grit paper.
