Mmmm....781 Heads w/Big Valves - Greg72's 496BBC Build Thread

[dremu]

Aaron, i think i now have all your parts with the exception of the rings.

Yeah, Summit had them B/O'd for a week, week and a half

I'm just peeved that the one time I place an order with Summit for over a grand I don't even get to fondle the package when it shows up

Dude, whatever you do don't even think about coming to my shop now. I'm afraid of what you might want to do.

You better mail that cam to me.

Okay, so "fondle" and "package" are not words to be used in the same sentence

But, see, for those of us who DON'T deal with crazy blingy motor components day in and day out, a sexy pile o' parts like Manley valves is ... well, sexy

I was gonna ask you if I needed to drop anything by... for the cost, might make sense to ship the cam down there, might be cheaper than gas thse days :|

mmm good stuff right there. Always cool to see an engine build... BBC style. Looking good.

Aaron, If you can get the cam down to me I can drop it off at Scotts on a friday. I drive to Morgan Hill every friday.

 

[4X4HIGH]

Jason, it's ok i don't need the cam. Aaron is assembling the engine himself.

 

[jays68yak]

Okay.

 

[Greg72]

TTT....

Rumor has it that there are new pics of the BBC block with the expensive new roller cam, and roller rocker upgrades!

I'll let Scotty post the pics, bask in the glory.....and field all the questions that will ensue...... I'm just the "checkbook" on this build!

And figgering out what will break (and break the bank ) so that those of us with smaller checkbooks can pick and choose when we follow

Ok, here are some more pics of the cam being degreed in.

Couple more pics of some of the parts going into the build.

Hey!

Where's the pic of those new roller rockers you made me call Summit to send you???

Those didn't end up in your own AFR-headed 350SBC build......did they?

...rocker roller woman for a rocker roller man?

Mildly obscure Judas Priest gag there. In your case it's a rocker roller Summit call for your rockin' roller cam, or somesuch...

[4X4HIGH]

Don't worry Greg, i have to keep you wondering about some things you know.

Besides, even if those rockers were to fit my AFR headed SBC i would actually NEED the heads first. AFR is focking with me right now and i'm half tempted to make a SoCal trip to pay them a very unfriendly visit.

If Rob Halford is singing about WOMEN......the reference is bound to be obscure!


Don't start quoting me lyrics from "Turbo Lover" either!!

Yeah, he is ... odd. Personally I found his solo stuff to be better than JP proper, but ::shrug::

Rocka Rolla is, hmm, '74 I think, appropriate for me, anyway

... as this is getting to be Lounge material, we now return you back to your regular engine ogling

[4X4HIGH]

Here are a few more pics from tonight.

 

[Greg72]

Thanks for the updates Scott.....

This thread seems pretty dead most of the time, but it's good to see the progress....

How much time do you have left on this project? Seems really close to completion based on those last pics....


I'm moving into my new place on July 7th. Having this bad boy delivered by then would make a great "housewarming" present!!!

 

[4X4HIGH]

Here are a few more pics of the heads being worked on.

 

[NoReGrEtS]

I want a video clip when this thing is fired for the fist time!!!!!
Sweet A$$ build!
