We've been working on it for a couple of weeks. We got the motor and tranny put in last weekend, but it still needed some misc. parts and pieces before it could get fired up for the first time. The video is pretty bad. I took it with my cell phone. Of course, the sound does this motor no justice. It has no mufflers on it yet. A lot of things still need to be done and we have some things just done temporarily to get it fired up. it still needs some wiring, tuning and general cleanup. But it was exciting to hear it run. A quick rundown of what it is.
'72 Nova
383 SBC
AFR 195 heads
Comp XE288 hydraulic roller (236 int/242 exh at .050 lift)
RPM Air Gap intake
11.5:1 compression
1 7/8 inch Hooker super comps
750 DP carb, Proform main body (now a Demon carb)
TH400 tranny with a Holeshot 3000 converter
forged bottom end
MSD HEI distributer
Weiand water pump
Carter mechanical fuel pump
Comp Pro Mag rockers
(edit - 3.73 gear, locker, cal tracs bars, split monoleafs, subframe connectors)
Basically it's a very nice, nothing super fancy street motor. Guesstimates right now are 500-550 horse. Still a lot of work to get done on it.
