Project BBK Update V3.0 *no 56k*

[Smokey1226]

After almost loseing ambition on our project due to work getting crazy (which is good), i got a call and picked up the last remaining parts.

Lots of pictures, so please dont hate me!


First off, i want to Thank John S. At Rocket Racing for being extremely helpful with everything. Being more than happy to take me and show me how ever machine in his shop works, and showing me progress on all of my parts. Not only did he put my stuff first when he had a WHOLE shop full of setups that need to go together, but he never doubted my plans or goals!

He never once, pushed me to leave. Hell he had me stay multiple time for an hour plus of time, just to show me the differences in quailty of parts with all kinds of parts companies. Im 100% positive, the parts going into this SBF are :headbang worthy.

Onto the pictures....

Brass Freeze plugs are in, all plugs are in except front and rear oil galley plugs so that we could used compress air to blow them out right before we put it together.

Soon, The Dr. and I will be putting this madness together and looking to slay all the Neons we can run into :rolf <3 you Ricky

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

Looks good Chad.

[badass88gt]

1.55" valves? Where?

Are those heads 225s?

Youre gonna LOVE your FTI cam. I do. I dont think you'll be wasting much time with Neons.......

I'm betting I know the displacement. I'm jealous.

[Smokey1226]

I ment springs are 1.550's. My valves are huge though. My Cam should be here on the 3rd and from what i talked with Ed about, he said your going to have lots of power up top so don't be afraid to rev :D

[TURTLE]

i know of a few neons that will still give him nightmares... te he he...

nice looking list of parts! now get them thrown together and in the car! i need a benchmark for my 10.5-10.8:1 all motor project ;)

Its a stock block, not aftermarket.

[badass88gt]

Yup. That block is fine. The early 70's blocks are just about the strongest OEM Ford blocks available.

[Smokey1226]

Yessur, this is a 74' :D

[0TransAm0]

thats an awsome pic of the plate...

[badass88gt]

Yessur, this is a 74' :D

6.2" Rods?

[Smokey1226]

6.2" Rods?

[badass88gt]

[Smokey1226]

no, no secret. Its going to be a 408.

I can't wait to try it in our car, as before we had a 289 that was on 7 cylinders and wouldn't rev over 5500. Should be fun @ 3100lbs with a 5 speed and a 9" :thumbsup

[badass88gt]

Which trans are you going to run?

[Smokey1226]

tko600, its sitting right next to me!

[badass88gt]

Very nice. Solid or Hydro from Ed?

[Holeshot]

I think this goes on my suspension right?
