Tim...Ok's 48 F1 build

the intake is just sitting on it, but the rest of it is buttoned up and ready to go.. forged flat top 355,balanced ARP and Manley bolts,ported 2.02 heads with stainless valves, roller rockers,hydraulic cam just over .500 lift, gear drive

That looks very inTIMidating [ddd Like that shifter you're working on too! [cl

In the immortal words of Al Pacino - "Say Hello To My Little Friend!!"

Nice looking motor...looking foward to hearing it run...make sure you upload a video when you do get it running.

What casting are the heads? What kind of compression? Are those proform rockers?

they are early 70's 487 castings..flat top, so I'm guessing 9.50:1..and blue rockers I don't know what kind they are, I got them from a buddy, but they seem to quality pieces, I'd say at least as nice as the gold cranes on my BBC..

and Troy, video definitely when I get it running..

thanks Snakefarm!!

thanks for looking..

Likin' the tunnel ram. I'm looking for a single 4 tunnel ram for my pile.

Man I need some shop time Got my awesome valve covers from Lucky Devil, got more engine goodies, disc brake setup for my 56 ford front axle..and no time to install any of it..did get about 20 hrs of shop time last week, but it was for a paying customer..sucks being responsible sometimes

Tim

Haven't taken any pics, but I did get my front disc brakes all installed on my 56 front axle..cut off the old frame mounts for the motor and rebuilt those,I'm happy with them now..got one new edelbrock carb to go on the tunnel ram and one kinda rough looking one,at least i can use it for mockup for throttle linkage and get my air cleaner/scoop built..Pulled the mockup motor and tranny after I got the motor mounts done..gettin slowly closer, will try to take some pics this weekend..

thanks for lookin

Tim

Running really late, but here they are

Front brakes installed, rotors look a little crusty in the fins, but they are like new..I installed new bearings and seals with new "loaded" chevy truck calipers from O'Reillys



After removing the remains of the steering column tube, I machined the end to accept a sealed roller bearing


Shortened pitman arm I was asking about in the other thread


I left the weld proud on the back side just for a little extra strength

This is in the "almost there" mockup stage..Everything is just tacked and using junk bolts until I get it just the way I want it..




Dropped the new motor and tranny in yesterday[cl Those are Lucky Devil valve covers




thats pretty much where I'm at as of today..
thanks for lookin...

Tim

Looks like it's coming along nicely Tim.....any idea on front shocks? Just wondering what you're going to use, and how you might mount them.....

Very nice job on the brake pedal assembly.
