I finally got my motor to the point were I can drop it in the 27! I just got the tranny back from the GF's Dad, now I can start setting it in the frame. I have lakes pipes for the motor and im going to blast those valve covers. Just through anything had around on cuz I was excited. Compression is 7.49 with a boost retard box, and pullies are for about 8psi boost.
nice! probably won't need the boost retard with that little compression and boost level. I run 87 in mine
I might run a better set of pullies for occasional runs but I like the adjustability that comes with the box. What compression could I run with forged rods, pistons and cast steel crank? 31cc pistons, 76cc heads Squirrel, what should I set up my timming at?
Yup, you can see it in the background. 1700-1900lbs depending on passenger... Skinny rear tires BTW, I ned to trade someone for a shorter carb base! This is a vintage crager unit. But the motoer needs to loose some hight... Preferably a cast one but Im not picky.
It hasnt seen the sun in a long time... Money has been short. Been slowly putting this motor together and a new straight, undropped axle. You can see the new tires and front end in the second pic.
Might wan't to put some bar's out the back of that HOT ROD. Sweet. Can't wait to see it with the motor in.......PINCHER
It will be an engine with two seats, I like it! You will have to beat the girls from Stout off with a stick!
