I specced a lot of parts for endurance sake which added to my build price , my engine builder says the same performance is there with cheaper parts as long as the prep and machining is done right www.advancedengineperformance.com.au/index.html the engine builder i use.greywolf wrote:Looks like you have a good set up there,nos598 wrote:I have a sbc ,23deg that runs 139 in a 3350lb car on radials .We are using thirteen yr old 220 afr that have had a few birthdays through the yrs , Our engine is just under 12/1 There isnt to much low budget to make one of these. i do drive it on the street and it has over 1000 miles cruising in traffic , highway cruising at 4000k ,a drive with three or four people in the car .It can be done though and you are going to need a good cyl head man and a good tuner .Engine has been in the car for i yr now and we are going quicker each meeting with fine tuning .The car has over 70 passes on it now and we check the lash and change the oil after each meeting and thats really about it .We did spend a lot of time as did Jake did with Tom tuning on the dyno .Cam is a comp solid roller specced by comp and so far has been kind to the springs
but you are being quite vague on your combo, care to elaborate further????

Nice build. Very nice. That's not what I would consider a break the bank build by no stretch.
Tom @ 3V if you don't mind me asking. How does 800+ lift live with those kind of spring pressures and rpm? Has to be a light light valve package, shaft system, and a table leg push rod and a mild ramp if you can get that at that lift......lol Killer job.....

Re: your recipe for budget 700hp sbc
I can't speak for Tom on how it works...........but figured I would chime in. I have been out of town since friday, but on thurs I pulled the springs. All good here. Just over 1500 miles, low spring was right at 127, High side was 133ish, and checking lash is pretty much a waste of time. The spring pressure/lash haven't changed since it was on the dyno. Front suspension is a different story.......too stiff, and not enough travel to keep the weight back on the tire. Ill get it hopefully in time for Drag Week. Tom............Loving this thing...........you could have made it a bit more interesting though.............all I do is change oil, and polish valve covers!!! This fall, Ill make some passes with the water cooled off, I think staging at 190 degrees might be killing some HP.

Again not trying to speak for him................but here it is on the spintron, to 9000. No issues...........MaxFlow wrote:Nice build. Very nice. That's not what I would consider a break the bank build by no stretch.

I mentioned it on another site and the reply I got was that at 7000 rpm it wasnt needed. I disagree, if it is really possible to lower solid roller spring pressures that much.......why wouldnt I do it!
Less then 2 sets of good valve springs.

Re: your recipe for budget 700hp sbc
I will be in touch then, I just dont see anything but good out of that situation. I just bought that set of profiler heads from Kenny Jett you sent back to him. We live in the same area in Ga. Does that include BBCs as well? Work for me is really bad right now but I will be in touch.
Re: your recipe for budget 700hp sbc
Sorry Adam. I have been swamped lately working on the chassis. It is funny just how bad an engine can make a car look. Or how bad a car can make an engine look. Whichever way you want to look at it. I had to redo everything in the back, and then move on to the front. Ill give you a ring one of these days if I ever get to sit down. LOL.af2 wrote:Jake!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the " ring ring"????
Glad to see you in the teens!
Making changes to the Willys as we speak hope it fixes some issues.
Here, watch this one from one of the first times at the track......LOL. Didn't stand a chance!!!

Get the rear worked out and hang on!!! You need all the transfer you can get with the tires you run.

Re: your recipe for budget 700hp sbc
Thanks guys........I have been busting my ass all week working on the front suspension. I added an inch and three quarter front travel, and found some things that were all messed up. The bushings in the "global west" arms were dry as a bone and bound up. I have them all lubed up, and can bounce the car like a basketball up front now. With the shocks set full loose up and down, you can literally bounce the car off the ground about 3 inches. I will be bracket racing it this weekend at WIR. Ill let you know how it turns out.
