WOW...awesome....


And regarding the cam....this thread was about a twin turbo cam selection....not a supercharged installation like yours.

It still isnt ideal, but it should perform just fine. It would have been horrible in a turbo car though.

No
I wish I was that good, Ive never seen such nice welding the pics dont show it.
Im responsible for the blower mounts which is temp at the moment so we could get it in the car and see what needed missing. and what was going to be the alternator and a/c mount now only alternator so it will get thinned down a fair bit.
I was going to do the plenum until i saw the exhausts.
Now I know how will keep you posted.
I cant wait to see it run :)

That is a very nice looking engine. The welding's first class, it's a beauty. Good luck with it. One thing, given that it's forced induction make sure it gets lots of hours running in before you give it boost or you risk bore wash and a seizure later. I've seen it happen before. Don't skimp at the dyno session.

Holy sh*t, i just saw the pics! what a fine engine you have there. Two things occur to me when looking at that motor. 1) You will get a whole lot more that 330hp with that kit, and 2) why not do some research/homework and get a custom cam ground up for this engine? Clearly a lot of time, effort and hard earned has gone into the motor already so why skimp now? if its destined for off roading then i'd definatly take on board what has been said here already regarding overlap and its effects in forced induction applications.

Have split the topic as this deserves its own spot.
