This engine takes me to 110 Mph in 2nd and 3rd to 160 Mph......as for 4th and 5th

Holy F***ING COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a motor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's INSANE, with a full exhaust system on it, it sounds like a dragster and the tick over is to die for.
It's won the biggest look at me factory the moment it starts up.

I haven't had the "balls" yet to drive it.
I think that a LOT more SERIOUS chassis checking is required before I drive this on the street.

So far 100% SATISFACTION guys.

Many, many thanks to Doug and to Steve and anyone else involved with this motor build.
My friends, who are pretty hard engine builders in their own ways, are open mouthed at this motor.

I will get a video made and send to you.
The link you sent to me with it running, good at that is, does NOT do your work justice.
If this runs like it sounds it will be sensational!
And I believe that it will.
It picks up revs as fast as a two stroke motorcycle engine.

I have had some serious small block Chevrolet motors built.........but this............this is in another league.

Talk to you guys soon.

Bets regards to you all guys.

A VERY HAPPY customer.

Hi Doug, Steve.
Well the motor is just fine.
In fact it is rather scary at full blast.
And takes me to 110 Mph in 2nd and 3rd to 160 Mph......as for 4th and 5th, are you kidding me?
I have got no where near that yet.
I am really getting into these Edelbrock Thunder Series carbs now.
I got wrong footed at first, by Edelbrock of all people. I must have got the Janitor who was holding the phones that morning for the Tech guys....Jeeeeez!

Anyhoo, the upshot is that after MUCH futsing about I am running the carbs as the standard setting, but 4% LEANER on the metering rods. The difference is amazing. The engine really barks and is super crisp.
Also I run the second WEAKEST power valve spring, forget the color now.
Another thing. The float levels are quite fussy. As the carbs come they work fine when the car is still, but they need to be at their MAXIMUM fuel level in the float bowl settings to not have the car cut out in a 90 degree turn or on a long sweeping curve.

I run a 2,1/2" diameter straight through exhaust system. This was the biggest that I could squeeze into the frame. It is bloody loud! But makes me grin. Like I imagine sex with a 18 year old girl would, hey ho, those where the days. Anyway it probably costs me less than the 18 year old.
I have almost got rid of my very low speed very light throttle demand drive line "shunting", at about 30 Mph.
Which is a royal pain in the arse.

I have also ordered the MSD knock sensor. I have used this in the past to good effect.
I think that I can dial in some more start advance and run it leaner too.

I have attached some photos here.
Please let me know if you can open them.
I will get a video done.
Of course the weather here is crap, as usual, and I am moving home, so not sure when that will happen.

Hope that all is well with you guys.
Of course I now want this motor, but with the Aluminum block.
I blame Steve here. He should have pushed me into a corner and made me buy
one!

Regards,
Rich.
