Bttt

 

I'd pull that Chevy motor out of my '35 in a heartbeat (sic) if I could get one of those motors!

 

Yeah just rub it in! Thanks a lot!!!!!!

 

how much are they going to be?

 

They are going to be about $10,000 to 12,000 we have yet to narrow it down.. us dollars....for a long block......all you add is the induction system....They are 339 cubic in.

 

The thought AND workmanship put into these blocks is second to none, when I was looking at one at the INDY trade show the quality was every bit as good as any Rodeck or Donovan block I had ever seen. someday I will have one.

 

wow.
one question..
With the pressed in guides and all, what sort of tool have you invented to assemble the springs and collets on the valves? i guess the tappets are put in from underneath before the cam goes in? gotta be tricky to assemble it yeh?

 

A few of us are wondering how the 32 chassis you are about to repop is coming along.

for thos that are unaware - its a u-weld UPS-shippable 32 chassis, like the ones previously produced by "precission underbody

 

We pretty much had to design all the tooling for assembly.. for doing the guides, seats, sleeves,etc...right now mark and I are going throught the manufacture process..outlineing the steps...so that we can get the best possible price to the customer.........as for the 32 frames....they are done and ready to go....just call ashley....they are 2 piece UPS or we can jig them up and ship them truck freight.....we have a ton of products coming out this summer...heads,intakes,trans adapters and merc clutch forks.....and a whole new i-beam suspension that is the lowest the industry has ever seen.....
