Slow days at work, looks like it's time for the project car

On the real, are you reliably gonna be able to get 600whp out of a stock block? I didn't think that was possible.

E7's have a knot in the exhaust port if they are untouched for smog stuff. I think it's in the roof if I remember right.

Dang that thing looks clean. Is that the same one you showed me in your garage back in 2009?

That's the same one man. It looks better in pictures than in person. But maybe one day I will get the body straight and repaint it.

Use race gas and retard the timing at the torque peak and it will live for quite a while.

with your 600rwhp goal forget DSS and just go with a Dart block

Factory blocks tend to get a little unhappy above the 500 mark

Back in the day I realized that I had gotten really good at tuning when I could split a factory 5.0 block right up the middle without blowing the head gaskets. I remember thinking my engine was running rough once and discovered that the only thing holding the block together was the oil pan and the intake manifold.

I'm going to see where I get, still need to upgrade the trans, diff. Full suspension so I will keep the boost turned down at first. I think instead of a dart block I may eventually build a 351 to go 600 all day plus maybe a little spray for the hell of it.

Thats what I would do, 351 stroked and bored out to a 4xx cubic inch since you have the room.

Nice sleeper and lmao of your car being at the MB service dept...

Ok here are a few pics of my junk....and the car. First one was Wednesday evening after its first wash in 10 years. Next 2 are Thursday morning. Last is Friday morning. So I was told the block was .030 over and discovered it is standard bore. Took the block to the machine shop Friday after work to be gone through and it will need a bore. Right now I am debating on a very budget build or going 331 for not a whole lot more with a scat stroker. I will keep the E7s which I were told were ported but dont really appear to be. I dont really know because I dont know what stock E7s look like. The boost will overcome lack of flow enough to split the block.

If anybody wants to do some much needed TLC on my '92 coupe to keep themselves busy, just let me know! The list is so long it makes me hang my head in shame that I've let it go for so long.

I'm so busy right now I can't see straight.

A couple of buddies do paint and body are taking their projects to work to help stay busy.
