Well the Cuda engine finally is in but no engine dyno for it...the dyno here in town has been down for a couple of months and I couldn't wait any longer.I guess it's a chassis dyno for this one.

Kinda monotone with the color which usually looks kinda ....meh:doubt: ok... but I think you found a way to pull it off. :2thumbs:
 
I'm kinda with the Fish guy on this one. I like it but at the same time I don't. But it's not my car. I'd still take it if it was free :D
 
Awesome.

I like the whole concept of matching the engine colour to the car. Would have done it myself had I been able to afford it. Not sure how easy it would be to keep it looking that good tho.

Besides....I'm betting that motor will speak loudly enough and carry a big stick so it won't matter what colour it is.

I noticed you have some spacers between the WP and the block. Are you planning on using a front motor plate in the future or did you just use a water pump that hat been shortened for that purpose?

Looks great BTW. I like it just the way it is. :clap:
 
COOL LOKS GREAT :bravo: where is the GTX ? did you sell it ROB ? :eek:
 
Thanks guys...the monotone color is what the customer wants...the alum spacers are for clearance for the Indy timing cover and to help me allign the pulleys with the fluiddamper on this one...
Ron...this isn't the rocker arm engine:eek: I barely escaped alive from that MESS..!! I think those interenet professionals are still pointing fingers as to why those cheap rockers EXPLODED...rofl 150.00 alum rockers on a roller cam engine...Duh..
Rav...I still have the GTX...I hope to have my pump gas engine finished by the time my new DTS dyno gets here..(6-7 weeks crosses fingers) I'm setting up right next door to the machine shop..:giggedy: no more trips across town:rolleyes: no more BS :rolleyes:... State of the art baby:dance: fuel inj.engines .. turbo..super charged...no problem now...
 
gomopar...I don't know about uber but we can do everything...between the three of us old guys there's a 100 years of experience in the shop...we dyno every engine and when the dyno went down it really screwed us up...backed us up for a long time...
I was looking for a building to move everything into but couldn't find anything close plus I really don't want to work like I did when I was 20 for the next 10 years to pay off the new building...
so when we found out the fellow next door was building a new place and moving it was perfect...knock a hole inbetween the two units and were good to go...
This dyno will be a great tool BUT it will be an even BETTER TOY..:giggedy: ...I really needed something to peak my interest once again in the automotive..because I was about done.
I struck up a Deal with Nationwide Freight Services to ship engines...better than half of what everyone else was charging including insurance...and they will help the customer with the paper work on there end...good deal
So being up here in Canada really isn't all that bad:shifty: we'll maybe it is:D
 
Good luck with that Rob.

I don't get to Winnipeg like I did a few years ago, but I'm going to have to make sure I check it out the next time I am there.
