Pics or it didn't happen....lol

I thought about it but I would have needed a $10k valvetrain to go with it.

Slow progress but it is progress.I love when new stuff comes in. My Wilson came back from porting at Thitek. Craig did an awesome job getting the ports matched to the heads. Got to fit the wiring harness, coils, TB.....almost time to blow it apart and get the firewall done and engine bay...

Ok back on this finally. The car has been moved back into the shop. The heads are almost done. Cam is here, mock up motor has been dropped in the car. I can start making templates for the motor plate mounts. Starting to make progress finally. Now if the NHRA guy would just get back to me with an...

Not yet. I will once the heads are done. Waiting on AJ to send the dry sump as well.

New shortblock done. Filled aluminum block, 15:1 compression. Heads should be done soon.

That would be very cool. At this point I just want to drive it around the parking lot.....lol

ok so back on this. I wound up putting the car on the back burner for the last 2 years. The 426 and Apaches wound up back in my 300C. I built a pretty ridiculous aluminum 449 for it instead. The shortblock is finally done and will be getting picked up at Billy Briggs Racing Engines this week...

Thanks man. At this point I have most of what I need short of the harness and yeah, I got a guy....lol. The worst part will be the body work that the previous owner screwed up.

Bit of an update.....got to drop the motor and trans in for the first time. I have heard in the past of people having issues with the TTI stuff but man it fit perfect first shot. Headers clear nice, motor mounts were good.....overall I am pretty impressed. Hopefully the rest of it goes this...

Ever see what most custom sheetmetal intakes cost?

They were $5k each when new. They made 6. I didn't get it new or pay nearly that much. The entire intake other than the top is CNC aluminum.

If it makes close to the power of my other GenIII it should go 8.50's.

So I picked this up last fall. I looked to see if there were any threads about the car here from the previous owner but I couldn't find any....so heres a few pics. 426 shortblock Apache cylinder heads and just cause 640 hp isn't enough....... A Wilson Pro FLow direct port for a...

625 N/A out of a 5.7 based block is gonna be tough but I don't think it will be impossible. Are you planning on injection or carb?
