  1. or maybe someone can move this to a new thread for me and put in a link Thanks
  2. I put my Monte on Ebay.Its the black 72 with the 496 bb. I cant figure out how to start a new thread.Anyway the reserve is 16000.Any questions email me brokracr@aol.com
  3. HEY 72,I've run it through a few different kinds a software.I have an old version of Performance Trends' Drag Analyzer circa 1993.It has been fairly accurate over the years as long as the imput is realistic.My first idea was to buy a zz454 crate engine for $5800 and build it around what they did to it in Hot Rod mag. last year.After totaling up the cost to do it I realized I could make more power with better parts for less money on my own(hence the 496). I was thinking that the zz454 might get me real close to an 11.99 et.So I gave myself a little extra breathing room to hit that goal with the 496.Any way in bad air in the middle of a hot summer afternoon on paper(drag analyzer)it should run high 11's.In perfect conditions it should 11.40s-50s.But the proof will be at the track.I am hoping to get her running no later than mid July. I have had good luck with Performance Trends' engine analyzer also.In my last race engine it was about 3% higher than the actual dyno sheets.(990 versus 962HP) but torque #s were not that close (850 versus 778)
  4. I'm not sure if your post was in reply to the topic.I think you may have me confused with someone else.Maybe? My engine builder is Ted Opel(Opel Engineering)of Streamwood Il and is one of the best and most experienced race engine buiders in the country.Surely he has checked out clearances and tolerances on my rotating assembly before he put it together.I will not get a new machinist. I would have preferred a quality US made crank but could not justify paying $2000 for a Callies crank for a street car that I may run down the strip a few times a year.If and or when I do hurt this crank I will throw it out and probably buy another Eagle for $599. The crank I am using is a 4.25" stroke,GM does not make a 4.25" stroke if they did I would most likely have one if the price was comparible.I dont remember giving a casting # in my previous post.??(1187)?? Anyway what do you think about my combo other than the crank?I figure it should make about 600-625 HP and 600+ lbs of torque.
  5. Just wanted to share my combination with the board and would like some feedback,suggestions,insults or cudos. 496 4.310 bore x 4.25 stroke,Eagle crank and h-beam rods,Probe industries forged pistons,custom ground Cam Motion hydraulic roller .612 int. .618 ex.lifts adv.duration is 304, duration @.050 is 235 int., 240 ex..The heads are the new Trickflow aluminum Oval port 280cc intake runners w/2.19 intake and 1.88 ex. valves 113cc chambers, that have cnc ported bowls that flow great #s ie 343 intake @.700 lift,and 265 ex.@ .700 lift.With very high low lift #s too.Crane gold roller rockers,Edelbrock performer RPM Air Gap manifold,BG 825cfm Mighty Demon,Moroso eliminator drag race oil pan( hope it fits the chassis).Static compression shoul be a little over 10.5 to 1. T400 street strip auto valve body.TSI 10" 2800 stall converter. 12 bolt rear shortened 2",Ford nine inch housing ends,Moser 33 spline hardened axles,Strange posi unit,and 3.55 gears (yes 3.55)and an LPW cover. Hooker 2" primary headers w/3.5" collectors(PN#2455).Torque Tech 3.5" exhaust w/ x pipe,Flowmaster super 30 series mufflers. The 72 Monte has Hotchkis 1" lowering springs all around,Qa1 adj. shocks front and rear,boxed lower control arms and adjustable uppers.BFG 275/60/15 drag radials in rear,BFG T/A 235/60/15 up front on rallys. My goal is to run an 11.99999 on the steet tires with full exhaust and I say boldly WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON!!! What ya think? sorry for the long post
