Daryl Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I just wanted to share the voice of my build. Thanks to alot of people here who unknowingly helped me out by posting a ton of info on their motors. Couldn't have done it without you. This was my first performance build I have ever done. I have built stock motors before but nothing like this. I'm very happy with the way she runs and sounds. I have a few more bugs to work out and some fine tuning. This run was after I had to adjust my dizzy depth as it was at first to deep and made a terrible gear whine. I'm still smiling every time I listen to the clip. Can’t wait to drive the car when she is all put together. Quote
7tonemonte Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Sounds great! What a feeling to hear that new. Motor run Oh yea....... Your camera fell over Quote
Daryl Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 Yeah 5 minutes trying to get that thing to stand up and soon as I walked away it fell over. Oh well the audio was the important thing. Quote
dbreese Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Sounds ok for a B/B. I joke, I joke!!!lol That engine sounds wicked and will motivate the Monte for sure!! Great job on the build!! David Quote

Daryl Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 Now I need a good drive shaft and then my chassis and drivetrain will be all most done. Quote
dbreese Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Now I need a good drive shaft and then my chassis and drivetrain will be all most done. Denny's, Empire and Mark Williams are some good sources for driveshafts. David Quote
Mike 57 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Denny's did mine, no complaints. Engine sounds great! Quote
Daryl Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 What's a good drive shaft cost nowadays? What did you guys go with aluminum, steel, carbon fiber? Quote
Mike 57 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Mine is probably overkill. It is one of their "Nitrous Ready" 3.5 inch shafts with chrome moly yokes and 1350 solid U joints. I think it was over 600 and they will replace it if I ever break a weld or twist the shaft. Quote
footballubet Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Sounds great! That should move the Monte with no problem. Quote
