Weber carbs for a buick v6, hold on

<< < (3/4) > >>

buickfed:
been a while, other things got in the way.
did talk to the porsche guys about the webers. staying with gas.

sent the rear out to the trans/rear guy. rear is a 9'' ford floater, circa older than 1983. parts are special now and $$$.
hopefully done this month and i can get back on the ground.
bought a v6 that had a 471 on it. had the blower intake, roller rockers, arp head studs, bored and balanced for $250 plus gas to atco nj.
found another blower intake on ebay and i modified a turbo to a blower intake. 3 intakes and 1 blower. but i got the weber setup.
have to send the chassis out to cut out a pipe in the chassis. front engine pan hits it. also going to cut the nose off and move the control arms behind the front axle so it at least looks like an older altered.
since info for coupling 2 engines is a BIG secret in the racing world......working on it now. already scrapped one piece because the flywheel bolt pattern was upside down

got the rear back. weighs a lot more with all the parts in it. running 4.56's in it.
at least it will be back on the ground to see how other stuff will fit.
waiting for the trans guy redo his t350 that has a 3.08 first gear. be an interesting launch.
got my new piece of material so i can make the coupler correct this time. paper weights are getting expensive.

buickfed - your 14.04 starting line ratio might be too aggressive (e.g. overpowering slicks).  Of course with your two V6 Buicks inline, and we don’t know how much torque they make together, maybe not, it might be ideal.  I’ll take a guess you’ll be shifting 1-2 right before the 60 foot line.  Is 2nd gear a normal TH350 1.52?  Alan

36x17-16 slicks came on it. don't think the v6's will over power them. lol. this project is just r&d for me to see if i can do it. i am not making it a 8-9 sec car. it will be more of 13-14 sec car.
the trans belongs to the trans/rear shop. mine to use on this project.
say one thing, there a ton of little issues to iron out. we will be lucky if we make the track this year with it. i still have to do a check up on the dragster engine.

JEFF/21C:
I think you are selling yourself short if you think that it will only run 13-14's you should be making aleast 600hp to 900hp just guessing but those buick v6's are heavy  best of luck!
