cool bro ill have to post some in there then

brandon444 · February 4th, 2012, 07:12 PM

I love seeing clean engine bays like these, it'll make it worth the work

ryans88gt · February 12th, 2012, 08:24 PM

In the process of doing mine. As Sean said, scott rod panels. Shock towers, inner fenders, HVAC cover, frame rails. All together cost about $200 and only wieghed about 10-15 lbs all together. Gunna paint soon

ryans88gt · February 12th, 2012, 08:27 PM

Glad I bought them and didn't spend the time to make them. This was a huge project without having to fab the panels

ryanw · February 12th, 2012, 08:30 PM

Good name by the way, hope you stick around, your projects are all ways fun to follow

Well, as you can tell, nothing is in the engine bay right now...

but here...

Nice.. Those CHI's ported or do they flow 359 out of the box? How much were those pistons by the way? I really want to go the cleveland route for my next top end but it's so damn expensive.

ryans88gt · February 12th, 2012, 09:40 PM

before and after port numbers are on the sheet. They flowed 349 cfm essentially out of the box... I just did a little port matching.

They flowed 359 after a little more cleanup and a comp valve job. think with a full serious port job they could get up into the 370-380 range, the cross section area is the same as cast.

The pistons weren't cheap, they were custom deals due to the 4.125 bore.

$1000 i think. Woody at fordstrokers put the short together... I think it was somewhere in the $5000 range. Pricey, yes. Good to 1000 hp... also yes.

Coming together nicely. Might be alot of work but the finished product will be well worth it in the end.

ryanw · February 14th, 2012, 10:43 AM

Dont forget to prime and paint the out side of the panels.....even if you cant see it, you dont want it to rust though after a couple of years

brandon444 · February 14th, 2012, 11:43 AM

already did the back sides. there was a few spots of surface rust but I cleaned it off and painted it
