Disclaimer: This is going to be a slow, boring thread to follow, without consistent updates. it's a build thread for a car that I don't have yet, hence the name, "Pile Of Parts" or POP.
POP started over 4 years ago when I saw something interesting on eBay motors, a pair of Chevy NASCAR R07 Cylinder heads, for the ridiculous price of $175, knowing the blocks are made of hen's teeth, I decided I'd pick them up and hang onto them as a sort of rainy day fund/build.
over the years, I've acquired a few parts:
3 sets of cylinder heads
48 rockers
a couple of sets of Ti valves from del west
a billet crank
a front plate
a water pump
belt drive timing set
a flywheel
a intake manifold
a valley pan/water manifold
valve covers and some interesting spacers
timing covers
a couple timing sets
and some front drive pulleys.
The heads are absolute works of art,
I'm going to continue slowly picking stuff up here and there, eventually I'll find a block and put all of them to use.
I also have a few tricks up my sleeves, right now, I'm working on developing a lower profile intake system so this beast will fit under a stock, car style hood, which should make for some real fun!
What you're looking at is a basic design for an ITB setup to fit one head, although I'm probably going to start fresh and make many changes. The engine will be EFI, probably run off of something like an MS3 pro, and all 8 throttles will be driven off of a single DBW throttle body motor to simplify idle control (LOL)
Long term goal? build it and put it in a 3rd generation Firebird, or build a tube chassis and go full send it's more likely that I'll do a Firebird though, with a 5 or 6 speed, and an independent rear suspension setup, typical NASCAR engines make about 850 hp on 358 cubic inches, while strictly adhering to a rulebook. I'm hoping that my lack of a rulebook makes my engine just a little bit more fun!
