I need Engine

<< < (4/6) > >>

gasserx:
Just hooked up with a sponsor wich will help me with enginebuilding/machining! He has a full machine shop, and is a very talented guy. He can do about all thats needed regarding machining. So we are going to build from scratch - thats gonna be fun!

What would be a period correct type of engine? (late 60's) Crank, heads, cam, rods? What should we start with regarding c:r?
I see from the Jr Fuel association rules, that is says "all iron engine" - i assume that means no alu heads also?
We are going to use a stock sbc 4-bolt 350 block as a base. Thats about all for now. Im waiting for the block to be finished before we proceed to buy the other parts.
Hilborn injection and methanol for fuel.

Also going for a filled block, is there anything special to think about regarding that? Thats kind of new to us..

George:
I have a professionally built .030 over 350. Built by Mullvain Motorsports in East Peoria Illinois. We ran Dart 230 Iron heads and ran with the SWJFA once. The engine was on the dyno and made 640+ hp. I also have a Hilborn stack system ( 2 7/16") and Waterman pump.

I am running a Blown combination now and have other parts for sale. Thanks George (I am in 62563.)

How much block filler do i need for an 350 SBC?
Its hard to find someone that have this in stock here in Norway, but seems i finally found one that have the Morroso block filler, but they could not tell me how much i need.

Most here will pour a 400 block but the 350's don't seem to need it--we have always run with no fill--if you do-- a short fill is what most use--do one side at a time--fill about half way up----use a little more water than they call for--too thick and you will make a mess--The Moroso works well--a gallon will do --it comes in gallon jugs--just add water /mix/and pour
You can skip this and still have a great engine
The iron head deal is just for Nostalgia sake here in Jr Fuel ( which is dying anyway)  We run aluminum heads --easy to repair and light weight--nothing wrong with iron heads just no big reason to use unless rules dictate Like Jr Fuel
If you do a good little 350 you should run 9.00 in 1/4 Minimum and most are much faster--for starters that is a heck of a ride!!! Build a monster in a few years--a crisp 350  on alky will make anyone happy--That car of yours is so nice and sorted you will fly with whatever you put in there.

I have seen people use regular tile grout to fill their blocks. Available at most big building supply stores, and there is no preference on which color works the best.
