WOW!!
WOW!
I can't think of anything else to say...................WOW
SWEET!! there I did it!/forums/images/icons/laugh.gifKiller job!
 
Very sweet - that's a dream motor!!! What did you do for the motor mounts? Details on that would be appreciated.
 
Sweet!

Two quick questions... How much total lift are you running to clear those Boggers? Is that monster red or hugger orange?
 
Thanx Burt, i did the same thing, but was running in circles also, I did have some neighbors lookin at me with some pretty strange looks. As far as Motor Mounts, they are the same as what was on the 350, 3 bolt mount with 1 thru the middle poly urethane. I was really surprised at how little the mounts let the motor move. I anticipated some serious movement with the torque the motor is throwin out. I am running 8 inch susp. lift w/ 3 inch body. I still have to do a little trimmin if i want to keep the tires out of the fenders, and as far as the color, it is a red, but someday will be a nice shade of chevy orange. I noticed in one of the pics the flash gave a definite "orange" look to it though. The motor run me about twice as much as the jimmy did, and almost got run out of the house by the wife when she found out how much i paid, lmao. And i am kickin myself in the butt for not havin the camcorder ready when i fired it for the first time w/ open headers, it was something else hearing that rumble for the first time!!!! thanx for the positive comments!!!! see u guys at BB02!!!!!!
 
AllRIGHT yer going to BB02!! Sweet! can't wait to see it up close! Hey can I touch it too??/forums/images/icons/crazy.gifhehe

Yum..........almost makes me want one...........that is one impressive looking engine. Might I offer one suggestion if you don't already have one in the works? Fan shroud to keep that beast cool.............
 
Dude. That is too F#$(&amp; SWEET!!!
Get some camcorder action... maybe some drive-bys with you stomping on it! ... that is after you break in the motor. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif
I want a ramjet 502 now also. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

I'm jelous. That is a dream motor dude.
 
Thanx for all the comments, and yes a fan shroud is in the works, also 4 wheel smoky burnout video after shes broke in, but i think i will throw on a set of cheapies for that, lol.
 
Yowsa! Break it in really nice. Make sure that oil gets up into the rings to cool them off and so that the oil doesn't coke up in the ring area and gall the bores.
