Sorry to hear, Bob...too bad they wont up the bore to +.090...then you could run a .030 400 block... cant imagine what happened? how many passes on this engine?

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

Had about 8 runs, just changed the breakin oil. I apologize for hijacking your thread.

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

no problem Bob,,, hope you can piece one back together...

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

Cam should be here tomorrow, pick up heads tomorrow eve, then sending cam/lifters out for coating...

Gettin closer!

Way to go Brent! Might be a good idea to take lifters apart and check for debris. Mine were full of it on a motor that spun a brg. By the way, most excellent CD. You guys rock! Bob M

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
 

Just out of curiosity, i went to look at IHRA indexes for F/SA... its 12.15/7.80
Heck , my 1st run, i was almost .5 under at the 1/8...and i was out of the gas, before i even got there..as you can tell by the mph... Wish NHRA indexes werent so stiff!

Well, almost ready to go back into the car... Valves set to '0' , Cam in @ 105*, new Comp 251/256* , nitrided... Coated lifters and cam... Put oil pan on last night, as well as front cover... Gonna finish it up tomorrow eve, and set it in the car Saturday or Sunday... will have it running and broken in , probably the following weekend... Im hoping to hold it to the floor, all the way to the 1320, this time :rolleyes:
