Should have it back by next weekend.

Wow, that is a thing of beauty!

Very nice. Can't wait to see it done. Are you biting nails yet?

405 cfm, wow, that's double what my air compressor puts out, and I use it to media blast!

Very nice. Can't wait to see it done. Are you biting nails yet?

I've been waiting over 6 months now. It won't be long now.
I feel pretty confident this motor is gonna haul.

Damn Chris, thats coming along real nice !!....... i really need to step my game up !!!!!

here;s a few more pictures.Can't wait to put it in my 65 Dodge.

another one.

one more for now.

Looks sweet man!

When are you making the run to the Motor City to pick it up?

You're going to have a hell of a time trying to decide what car to race this year.

looking to go this weekend weather permitting.
we might be getting another storm friday.
yes its going to be tough figuring which car to race.
maybe just race the white 63, since i'm afraid of going fast according to slim.:occasion18:

Superstockracer wow that is 1 bad mama jama are you going to dyno it where do you usualy run. You should be in the 8's if the car is set up properly with your name I would assume it is. If I could get in the low 9's with a 479ci B engine in my old RR I would think a 572 with those heads would easly roll in the 8's. Good luck It's a thing of beauty I want one. LOL

Thanks it went 9.22 with old motor 3322 lb. heads flowed 380 cfm @ .800 lift with the old combo. We stepped up the combo and now heads flow 405@.800 lift. Trying a different cam, and putting in a new ATI 8" converter from the old 9.5 PTC.
Low tensile rings put in for vacuum pump. I should be able to get in the high 8's but not sure. .2 with these combos are tough to do.

Superstockracer Sounds like fun. I am working on a new project myself, I sold my old 68 RR to a local guy for 28K, he wanted something allready set up, I hated to see it go after 6 years of building & tuning. I got to keep a few parts for my other project, six pac hood, alum./elect. waterpump, alum. radiator, manifold & carbs. He wanted a differant hood & manifold set up that I had. I still have another 68 RR it won't be as radical but hopefully atleast quick maybee a high 10 sec. car at best when I can finish it, money is realy tight economy here in Cali. is not real good right now. IT looks like an 8 sec. pass in the near future for you, that's quite an accomplishment in a 3300lb car. Good luck. Budnicks

My Indy 588 is back from Best Machine in Michigan and home safe.
Thanks to 440gtx(Clinton) making the trip with me.We made it 9.5 hours each way. Not too bad.
It will be going back in the car by the end of the week.
I can't believe my oil pan is sitting in my dishwasher at home being cleaned.
Tuesday going to take apart the Titan oil pump for inspection and then the fun begins with the installation.Pics to follow.
The motor is in the back of my pickup in a huge crate courtesy of bbody540(Danbury John).

SuperstockRacer post some photos or vidieos are even better. Good luck. Budnicks

Chris,

How is the motor coming? Did you get it in the car yet?

Chris,

Maybe that's why he's sooooooooo quiet,either he's hunting WABBITTS,or he's in the garage gettin' some work done:bootyshake::munky2:That builder told SSR he'd have it done in about 8 weeks.That was the weekend of Chrylser Carlisle/York reunion/Beaver Springs which was mid July.Maybe I had shit in my ears and he said 8 MONTHES:icon_hang:

Here's a few pictures of the motor back from Michigan. It's been a long wait.Got alot more done over the weekend but heres a few from a few weeks back. I'm a little behind.l should catch up pretty soon.

coming out of the crate

WOW! nice crate!

WOW! nice crate!

Looks Great Man!!!! Can't wait to see what it will run!

That crate gave me a headache LOL chris call me tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesel belt drive is exposed. heres a few more.

got some more done.

indy 440-25 crossram intake installed

finally got the correct flexplate from mancini racing. after they made another mistake with my order, it finally arrived yesterday. so i'll put that on tonight and it will be ready to drop in over the weekend. WEATHER PERMITTING AGAIN.

I took 1/2 the day off today for the 1st time in a long time.
I had to get my mind off of things. I lost my best childhood friend last night.
So I came home early and put the 588 in my blue Dodge today and started putting parts on.

Played around and put some more parts on the 588 today. Here are some pics. I needed some alone time today. I'm pretty shaken up.

empty engine bay.

Nice looking engine- plate & bay-your progress looks great!

a little more progress, just dropped 25 degrees, im done till tomorrow.

a few more.

Looks like I have to move the remote oil filter, cant get the oil lines on with the Moroso Oil Accumulator in its new location.

looking good chris, make sure you put that bolt back in the flex plate before you put the trans in.

Thanks, new 1/2"-20 ARP Bolts are in the crank holding the flexplate.
Got alot done today considering my frame of mind.
Put in my new turbo Start 16 volt battery and charging receptacles in the back of the car for charging.

Here's a few pictures of the new bullet. It won't be long now.

Sweet! You might want to order that 18 wheeler of gas now!

Thats pretty funny. Just got my drum of VP C-14 for this car and the 65 hemi Belvedere.

588 will be fired up tomorrow. Ran out of time now. Its all buttoned up and i'm really pleased on how everything went together.
Its off to the paint shop next week and then my parachute mount is getting welded on.
pics and video to follow tomorrow.

Finally can't wait to hear it.

WEll it's all done.
Everything lined up great. Got the new CSR Trans. shield in and new Star Vacuum Pump installed.
I also went with a Turbo Start 16 volt battery and a Product Engineering 16 volt Alternator when I have to go rounds.
Clinton (440gtx) doesn't need an alternator since he doesn't go past 1st round. lol

New Turbo Start 16 volt battery install.I also went with the Miller welding female sockets in the back tail panel for charging between rounds.

pics of new battery

Looks great man, you do good work and fast too. I guess you weren't playing around.

No procrastination here!!
2 down, 1 to go, New 582 Hemi going in the 65 Belvedere.
Looks like testing next weekend weather permitting.
Looking for my 1st 8 second pass.

SSR, Get the camera rolling. Would love to see you scootin down the track~

I just uploaded the Video of the startup but its so freakin boring.Dont even think its worth putting on youtube.
The 588 started right up with no glitches.It was effortless. 78 PSI Oil pressure 6 psi fuel pressure and 5 inches of vacuum at idle.

damn this site's got alot of lurkers with nothing to say.wtf
say something even if it's wrong for heaven's sake.

Nice motor! :icon_axe:

looks great!! it must sound real good which car are you racing on the 17th?

Looks like I'll be racing the 65 Blue Dodge on the 17th.
Going testing next saturday or sunday. Whichever day is nicer. You ready to race?

Ok SSR I have a question. What is the other fuel line for on your carbs? I know it is for fuel! I just have never seen 2 lines on that style of carb before. That thing must be one thristy MF.

One more thing. Stop with all the pics. It makes me totally jealous. You have to many nice/fast cars. You wouldn't be interested in selling the 63 White Plymouth would you?

SSR on your Blue Dodge what tire/wheel size are you running, and does it have standard wheel wells? I like that look.

That's a badarse beast, bet that would speed up my 69 in the 1/4.

Those are dual feed carter carbs. I tapped the other side for more fuel. Made it dual inlets because I run out of fuel in the non tapped side of the bowls. With this kind of HP , I found I was sucking the one bowl dry and leaning out one side of the motor.
Now I can run 6 psi and all banks are evenly fed the right amount of fuel.

15 x 3.5 fronts with 27.7 tires thats with the draglites.
15 x 10 with 6.5 backspace on rear 31 x 10.5W M/T's
Its slightly mini tubbed with ladder bars. THeres very little room under the rears.

The Weld aluma stars are 15 x 3.5 with Goodyear 26" tall tires which I do not like. Putting the 26" on my 65 Plymouth.

Thanks SSR with your help on this subject(and with all the other issues too)!

Never thought of the left bank running low on fuel. That makes total sense.

I'll be ready for the 17th, and maybe before that

good safe answer w/o the commitment.:sleepy2:

my mistake, vacuum is 3 inches at idle.
just installed a new vacuum gauge under the dash.

How do you like that reverse flow water pump? Does it come into the engine from a single outlet from the lower radiator connection the up to the water pump "inlet" connection?

I really like it alot. Reverse flow cools heads 1st. Got the 2 lines coming from opposite ends of the top part of the radiator. I don't like it that way. Asked my engine builder why he did it like that. I wanted the top 2 lines to enter on the passenger side top on 1 side. He says it will be fine this way.
I ran it this way for 2 seasons with no problems and it runs very cool.

heres my 65 dodge black one with both reverse flow lines on 1 side. havent tried it this way but i would think this might be a better way.

Is that a bbchevy pump then?

You got some BADASS rides man. What else can you say!

Dynamic Transmissions just rebuilt my 727. I've been using them since 1974. When they were Fairbanks.
I just love the way my trans. feel when they build them.DYNAMIC out of Branford, Ct.

I just put on a pair of 27.7 Moroso drag specials instead of the smaller 26" Goodyear Eaglefront runners. With the 31 tall rear slick, it looks more symmetrical. Pics to follow.
I put the 26" on my 65 Belvedre since i'm running a 29.5 rear slick. The 26" Eagles look more natural on the 65 belvere since I went smaller on the rears.

The shop floor is a little dirty......may be.
