Feel free to come help me put it together when all the bits for it arrive there's coffee and bacon on offer

Something I would enjoy but time is SO limited, I only have Sundays and it's like form and orderly queue with things that need doing.

Never say never however!

Dr_evil · Feb 19, 2014

I'll send you a text to see if you're free when everythings here anyway

if you're free the offer of food and drink is there

I'm off down south to drop off the small block and pick up the big block on saturday now

cant wait to fit a blown 454

Ciao

Mr Noisy · Feb 20, 2014

And yeah mate please keep me in the loop, I will MAKE time as long as there IS time!

Mr Noisy · Feb 20, 2014

I can switch over/sort out your knuckles/hubs once and for all whilst you're fettling the engine

haha deal! I don't want to touch the knuckles I is too lazy!

Suppose if all the bits are here you can even run the engine on a pallet! Those hydraulic cams don't need breaking in, they're good to go out the box

Mr Noisy · Feb 20, 2014

I would like to stand on the engine whilst it is running, one for the album

Dr_evil · Feb 20, 2014

Theres been a slight change in plan

yet again!

I'm no longer picking up the later model GenVI block and instead I'm picking up a MKIV engine which is complete but stripped and has a Weiand 8-71 with it and twin Holley 600 carbs.....

This works out cheaper for me as its a 2 bolt main and given that I'm not going to be revving the tits off the motor it'll be more than strong enough! Especially with a stud girdle in place

Mr Noisy · Feb 20, 2014

Urm, ok!

What sort of year are these motors?

Dr_evil · Feb 20, 2014

1996 would have been the GenVI block, the MK4 could is an 80's one I think

The blocks are as good but cheaper cos they're older, the GenVI block is also harder to get parts for as they're newer so theres no a huge deal of aftermarket bits going cheap unlike the MKIV

Cheers

appreciate the support haha

I don't know either

I had it more or less roadworthy with the 3.5 efi then I kept getting bigger engines until I settled on a supercharged 454

Pics will follow on saturday once the motor has been collected

i just hope to god that you don't find anything bigger to fit in the tratter,or we will never see it move ffs.

Physically this is about as big as I can go, only thing larger would be a 502 but they're like rocking horse ****

No doubt you'll find one and rip the 454 out just before it's running
