LB7: Dirtydmax,s build

[dirtydmax]

You keeping the hood stack and adding a second one or going with a different setup? How's the motor coming along?

Keeping the hood stack just going to tee them together.Talked to Jonh from Stefco race engines and he sais its coming along well and should have it back by the end of the month.Have to start thinking about the mounting the 3 rd cp3 and the hp lines, there's another can of shit to open up

Are you just using 3 stock LBZ cp3s or modded units?

 

[dirtydmax]

Using 3 stock pumps,The price of modded pumps and reliability are why I chose them.Il have triple cp3's for less than the price of 1 modded one.Not even sure I will ever need a third but its a why not kind of thing.Only doing this once so might as well.

I guess with the fuel and air you're throwing at this you're hoping to get into 10s? Closest track is Cayuga I guess eh?

10s? I heard 8s!

They are a very nice piece,I am actually looking at bighting the bullet and getting the mount.That will save a lot of time mounting them vs fabbing myself but its another $450 us + the ride.Does anyone else make a duel front mount cp3 kit?Thanks for the link Zak.

SoCal make a CP3 mount that mounts the pump in the water pump location. You have to run a reverse rotation CP3 and a electric water pump than.

I didn't know you could do that!Thats definitely an option and I will look into a rev cp3.Thanks!

Its been a little bit since I updated but I have finished mocking the charge,hot ,exhaust and intercooling piping while waiting for the short block from the builder.I do have some questions about the heads,I have a set of ported heads with springs/retainers and push rods available to me.My question is I know springs are necessary but what about porting for a street truck? Curious about stock heads with socal or Hamilton springs/retainers for reliability.I know there are threads on porting but I am in unfamiliar territory with trip 475's.Thanks to all for the support and info.

Got my 50mm gate installed thanks to s.Finney for the info,Should be getting my ported heads with springs and pushrods as well as mannis and up pipes in the next month.Spoke with Brent at LDS and hes going to hook me up with some new sticks but I think I will be using the 80 nozzles I have for now an see how it goes.

Just finished up with getting the parts coated and getting excited,Heads

were shipped out today so by the middle of march the assembly should begin.Machine shop still has the shor

t block and have not heard back.Was supposed to be done new years but im not surprised with it being late.

 

[andy-stevenson]

Looks good man. You did all the fab work yourself? Did you paint everything or have it powdercoated?

 

[dirtydmax]

Thanks Andrew.I did the fab work and powder coated it, use to work at a resto shop that did powder,well... I did the powder there so they had no prob letting me put some pieces through.The picts look nothing like the actual color but you get the gist.I am super pleased at how everything turned out.

Looking good, color is obviously a brilliant choice:thumb:

 

[Awenta]

Color is awesome. Glad it's finally coming together after so many headaches

x2 on an awesome color choice :thumb:

 

[dirtydmax]

Thanks guys,It has been a difficult project but will be worth it when complete.One of the hardest things about being a painter is choosing a color but I think I chose wisely.

 

[andy-stevenson]

Does the block match or different?
