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.

Thanks, I think I'll be needing one for a 360 project.

The suspense is killing me here. Have you been to the dyno yet?

Ahh, the workhorse of the sky. I'm actually a high wing fan myself, designed and manufactured five of them for about 19 years. As an aviation mechanic you should know that lines like that hidden valley bypass develop leaks all the time!!!!!!!!! :idea:

Oh yes I do, the way I have it figured that from startup I'll watch the initial pressure then set the engine analyser for a low oil warning.
BTW I'm running a aircraft engine analyser.
You'll appreciate this, I also run one in the Skylane

:wink: I don't think it is really going to leak, but you already know why I don't like them. Good to see a fellow gadget freak out there. Anxious to see what the blown motor does. I expect it will be fantastic.

1075 HP

My guess is 750 plus ? NOS Be careful over driving that blower with out a crank suport with that pulley that far out there. Good luck

Here is the latest pics, fully assembled for hopefulley the last time. Note the blower drive snout, the top pulley is actually installed backward. The snont is Dyers 10.25" long. Usually a AMC uses a 8.25 inch drive with the pulley installed outwards. I wanted the most support on the outer bearing so I reengineered the system so that the blower belt tension is actually behind the outermost bearing.

Jeff

BTW Fuzz if it only makes 1075 HP with N2O I'll be disappointed.

OMG!!!
That is SO cool looking!! Lucky airplane 8)

MC we need a F(@&ing HUGH font for things like this (60 point?)!!!! 24 pitch jsut doesn't say enough!! :mrgreen:

Man that does look cool. :t: Maybe ya outta call the Discovery Channel, Jesse James aint got nothin' on this ! AMC now equals American MONSTER Corproration. Blown7, it looks like you've raised the bar. I see in the pics, the absence of the 4 additional head bolts that can be added along the bottom edge. May I ask if you considered adding them or not ? Maybe hire a proffesional photographer to take pictures of that art work. It's gettin' near Halloween, and the MONSTERS are startin' to come out ! Nice work dude. =D>

Is it going to be air conditioned? :lo1l: :t:

Blown7

Yes I considered adding the extra bolts but like the four bolt main bottom end I decided I didn't need them. Time will tell if I was right or wrong. The real stress in this engine is at the bore so it was o ringed. This engine was never desinged as a all out everytime engine, it is also going to be a daily driver too. From what I've been told (as I never have run a blower engine) in a daily driver there will be more power than I may ever use. Maybe 4 times a year it will do sand drag/hillclimbs. And yes I need my air conditioning,on the Power steering pump side I'll also have a Sandel compressor for airing up. To say what really drove this project? I'm just a middle age guy with a big Visa credit line going middle age crazy just trying to recapture the days of my youth. Jeff

I love it.. one of the nicest motors I've seen and then a A/C Compressor on it that looks like its staight out of the junk yard.. Gotta love CJ'ers! :lo1l:

819hp w/out nit. What kind of engine/frame supports etc are you going to use... And do you have an exoskeleton around the engine compartment... for roll-overs etc?... That would be sweet seeing/hearing that F*%#er rumbling down the street only to realize that it's in a fricken CJ... :lo1l: And if you had an Exoskeleton looking like something from the movies... (I forgot that movie with Mel Gibson.. wait, THUNDER DOME?...) Hahahaha yeah man, you'll have the sickest AMC which in my opinion would be posted in almost all of the 4x4 magazines!!! Once it's up and dynoed or even before it's dynoed call around and have some offroad/performance magazine companies at your side when they dyno it and then when it first hits the street/trails/sand/mud etc... I'd love to read a 10 page article on this beast!!!
