Funny if this was meant to be a street engine someone would have suggested this build. He buys it this way and everybody wants him to disarm it before he even gets it started.
$5000 w/TTI Headers
I had all intentions to build a fast street car that would see occasional track use but 90% of the time would be fair weather street driven, cruised, and car showed. The problem is I'm not sure I can bring this motor down to an acceptable street car with such big heads, Cam, and Intake.View attachment 292587
That's the plan new cam (staying with solid roller means less money on lifters) good converter 3500-3800 and around 3.90 gears. Maybe later i'll install Gear Vendors OD, So at least i can cruise 85 at 3500+ RPM.
This will not be a daily driver by any means, Cars shows, drag strip, around town making noise, How bad could it be? I want a little nasty!
Well...you got a good deal for a race motor...but not for a streetable setup.
1) The intake manifold is way to big, probably wont even fit under your hood, even with a scoop.
2) The intake only accepts a dominator carb which cannot be streetable and dominators cost about $900 even if you got one.
3) You cant use a carb adapter to snake down the flange to a 4150 square bore size..it just wont work.
4) Header would be OK, just wasted performance potential...you need 1 7/8 for street/strip
and a lot more....pm me and I will give you my 2 cents worth of advice.

MINI TUBS I just painted it.....:violent-smiley-100:
Phil and Longroof are on the same page as me. But maybe i'll try and run the intake (Max Wedge ports) I'll run a 4150 - 4500 adapter. I work in a CNC MACHINE SHOP SO IF i HAVE TO I'LL MAKE IT FIT. Guys have been running 4150's on 4500 manifolds for years. May not be ideal but will work.
