"SNG's" Dave Siltman and Paul Martin always have my build in mind.

Very used Cragars and Bias ply snow tires are en route:-)

Thanks guys for all your help!!

PS: Beautiful, Oldsmobile loving wife asked how many rims I have:-) that is a little to personal:-) A gentleman never tells.

PPS: Crappy Cragar Center's needed:-)

Tentatively set the run-in and dyno day for October 26th.

Now I really need to get all the little ducks in a row.

What kind of numbers are you looking to get Ryan?

Stock is 325HP @ 5600 and 360 Ft/Lbs @ 3600

I am hoping for 350HP, and 385Ft/Lbs.

Blueprinted with minor upgrades but nothing signifantly different than stock. PSMCDR compliant by a long shot. Pump gas friendly.

Ryan

Good luck!!!!

I have a good chat with FJ about the dyno day, this is a little tough as I know very little and he knows too much. I am making lists and gathering parts. I think I will bolt the accessories on at the engine builder and take it to FJ’s as complete as possible. The charge is a “one day dyno” so I need to make my time count.

The engine has to be run in with outer valve springs then I have to install the inners and we can let her rip:-)

I dropped off my original alternator for rebuild. (I need to find out what finish the fan came with) I dropped off my incorrect starter just for a look/quote, it was bolted on nuclear tight so I assume it is crushed and cracked... anyone have a core?

I stopped at the igloo to pick up any engine related items, plugs, filters, oil, ex manifolds, so I can get prepared.

I have to ask if I should bring headers? I don’t think there will be time but I may throw them in...

I sent some seat belt photos to Canuck, hope we can swap some 1971’s for 1969’s!!!

Progress :D = Ice Cream :D

That's awesome Ryan. Good luck at dyno day. I think the Rocket in the 69 just gave up the ghost. I took a decent ride with it the other day and when I got back it was blowing a pretty good cloud of blue smoke. That's what it was parked for 26 years ago, so I'm not surprised. I'm trying to decide what to do about a motor now. Here's what she looks like with the new sneakers and wheels.

Glad your back!!

Not enough Green Cutlass S’s around here:-)

A stock rebuild would not be too crazy costly. (I got a little carried away:-)

Ryan

Thanks. We all have bad days once in a while lol. I'm thinking stock rebuild for this one. We'll see what happens. Carried away is what I get with my other cars sometimes. Here's to some nice dyno numbers for you.:beers:
