Ok time to sign up and guess the horsepower on the dyno

Goose

Heh Heh.. I want video of the first time he hits the loud pedal..split screen, a close up of his face and a shot of the CJ.. Americas funniest for sure! You do realize you are building the equivalent of all those wild scary fuel alterds right?? I saw a hemi powered cj7 a few years back.. and it was pretty exciting. the guy did this thing, put it in 4wheel and nail it on pavement.. it would jump right over one of those concrete parking blocks..(It would also twist the drive shaft off about every 4 times.) Still without adventureous souls like you the rest of us wouldn't be able to define the words.. excess...or overkill or may even holySh1TE!!! looka that! Go for it! :!:

What are you putting that monster in? You might have said already, but if you did, I forgot.

I think he's planning on putting it in a CJ7! 111!!!

Yea baby!! 111!!! X2 Probably the dumbiest thing anybody's ever done

Well, I think you'll have enuff power to spin those stickers off the tires anyhow, ha, ha.

Holeshot

With such big valve overlap, huge carb, open plenum intake, and excessive dynamic compression trying to run on pump gas, I'd be surprised if it idled reliably below 900-1000rpm and would predict that the actual torque curve would be much more narrow and much lower output than indicated at the bottom end. In fact, I would predict that power would be almost unusable below 3000rpm and that it would need a 3500 or higher stall converter if an auto tranny was used.

:razz:

Hey Goose...LOVE the new icons!!!

Jeff, are you going to get video of it on the dyno? I would like to try to make it down there when you test it, but I don't think i will be able to get off work

Gonna see if I can borrow or buy one of those CD video cameras. I would like to document alot of the setup and runs. Also to watch the laptop reprogramming so I can do it without having to run down to Kiwi every week till I'm proficient on changing the fuel maps. The whole idea of the ECU is program 1 for DD thru program 4 for Monson Hillclimb. Or Englishtown.

I sure hope you've got enough bottom end to hold all that. I think with that budget I might have sprung for a custom Callies crank (~$2400) and some Pro-Gram main caps.

I have a stock reworked crank with cast caps and good rods and mine dynoed at 1162 hp with Nitrous and I run it between 7,000 and 8,000 rpm every pass .
so far no problems....

Hers a pic of the stud girdle.

I LIKE the stud girdle, I've been saying forever that that is what the AMC V-8 needs, especially 343-360's. Where did you get yours? One of the other members was talking about having some of these made, but I haven't heard anything about it in some time.

At least 50 horse Jeff.....50 at least :mrgreen:

Goose

shoot!.. that oughta be worth 75 hp at least..!! :?

I got it from a Larry Keoman from the AMC Forum. He has some kind of automotive machine shop. I have the addy at the hanger I'll get it today. He charged me 165 dollars because I used my own studs.I was going to make my own but for that price I couldn't even turn my Bridgeport on. You just have to either grind or machine off the cap numbers and the casting flash on the top of the caps. I then took a surface gage and dial indicator off the oil pan attach surface at the block and made sure all the bolt attach areas at the caps where parallel and flat and on the same plane.

Yea from these here Bulltear valve covers. Gotta love that Bulltear guy!

Jeff

And it's goofy little things like this that chew up days of time. Had to make my own water outlet and oil filler tube as the blower limits all the space in here.

Don't critique my welds, they ain't the prettiest but I gots me lots of penetration and they also pressure check satisfactory so they are good to go. (Wish I had me some of those new fangled CNC millers like that Bulltear guy.

Jeff

Blown7

All these wires just control the fuel supply

Blown7

And this especially for 82Waggy. Why wouldn't I add the oil valley bypass line? I have over 50 separate external lines why wouldn't I add one internal line? I Love Lines!!!!! :lo1l:
Can't wait for 10 years from now after vibration starts killing all these lines off one by one. But for now it looks real cool.

Heres alot of work too the bottom of the magneto, all custom made by me notice another 25 HP with that Bulltear dizzy gear.

Blown7

And on top of it, I still gotta work on these damn planes, I overhauled this engine last year, the 401 costs more than this engine did, and this engine cost 36 grand to do.

Jeff

82Waggy

:-| At least you can inspect those, they actually do something, and they are not chaffing on the valley pan. :?

Actually the bypass line inspection is "on condition" the condition being no oil pressure :!:
I have cut out that portion of the valley pan.

:t: Good morning by the way! Nice Banana you got there. Yours? One of my favorites, especially the old V35B with at least 285HP.

Good morning back, although it's now 3;08 PM here. No thats a customers plane 1961 N35. This is mine 1976 182P

I'm a big guy and I don't look good getting out of a low wing (kinda like a elephant giving birth)
