Well, it's been 2 years since I started removing the original block and refreshing it. I learned a lot along the way and couldn't have done it without my Dad, friends, and my new found mechanic to finish it up. Here's what it has, along with before and after.

5.8 cc dish forged Speed Pro 2264P
.010/.010 crank

Running

 

Looks a lot better, how does it run?

 

Looks good and runs smooth in the video.

 

I just got it back earlier this week, so I am still babying it. It seems to run good.

 

How many horses? And lbs of torque

 

BJ, good question. I hope to get it on a dyno later this year. I am curious to see what it puts out.

 

Yes definitely keep me posted Im trying to build my rocket 350 how does she move?

 

I haven't given it much throttle yet . Still breaking it in and the weather has been rainy. It pulls hard and responds from what I have seen so far. I can tell it wants to go!

 

Sounds like a mellow cam should be a nice cruiser.

 

Looks good!!! ? Can you give me details about the trans go shift kit?

 

Don't baby it and don't idle it anymore than absolutely necessary. Rings need cylinder pressure to seat. The more load you put on it the better they will seat and the longer that will last. Idling new rings just glazes the cylinder walls and actually prolongs the proper seating of the rings.

 

Drive it like you stole it!!

 

I Think smitty and everyone else would like proof . So I think a burnout vid should be in the works for you lol.

 

Alex, here is a link to the Trans Go Shift Kit. I ordered it from Summit Racing.

Smitty and 70... thanks for the advice. Good to know I can really drive it now.


Copper, I need practice in the burnout department, so I'd better get to work.
