here's photos of the firechicken. we found some psycho heads for it with 2.30 intake 1.82 exhaust valves and ports big enough to put your fist in.

whats the fluids in the block that dont look good

theres always colant int he cylinders on any engine i've pulled heads off and the red fluid well thats either tranny fluid that somehow got poure din there or code red mountain dew that got spilt

i think the goat is uglier i jsut love that body style

The block must not be draining all the way HooYeah, some blocks have drains on both sides. With it drained you shouldn't get any coolant in the cylinders

Ummm...Ok. That is just about the ugliest piece of shit I've ever seen. lol. I trust that ya have big plans for it? Please say that you are gonna get a new engine for it...Cause that one looks like a big ball of rusted shit. lol

ever seen a 20 something year old engine before stryker?

the red is marvel mystery oil. the green is coolant. we didn't drain the block just drained the radiator and popped the heads off.

it's getting a set of wenzler 60cc combustion chamber heads with big fuggin valves and ports the size of your fist (no bs). a cam from jeesus with enough lift to snap regular sized valvetrain components to shit and a built glide. then we'll blow up the rear end, yank the engine and trans out and slap it into a '64 tempest.

there's the plan. and that block is pretty stryker, i don't know what you're talkin about.

;-) it's coming out for a paint job, valley painting, etc. we'll be selling the 6x and 7c3 heads and the super t10.

There we go ugly, some more PONCHO POWER! i like it.

with the 6x heads it's 7.8:1 compression

bahahahahah

still puts down 380 lb ft stock.

jason

i thought coolant in the combustion chamber was a bad thing

it fell in there from the water jackets in the head when we popped the heads off. because we didn't drain the block passages. needless to say we'll flush it all out before we run the fucker. hell we'll probably end up doing a full rebearing and re-ringing of this thing anyway.

it's a sick car though. and it's just a place to store our drivetrain until we find a tempest.

i saw a hole in the hood is that a 6.6 400 small block firebird with a shaker hood scoop?

is the 6.6 a 403? my 73 grand am has a 6.5 logo and its a 400. i always wondered about that.

the older pontiac blocks amaze me even the little puny ones. my brothers bird had a little 301 and that thing put out 180 hp and around 260 lb ft from the factory 500+ km on original tranny and never rebuilt engine

and ls4 454 i never drain the block just the rad so the coolant always ends up in the cylinders

yeah it's a '78 T/A with the 400 and Super T-10 Four Speed (Rare), it's also got the shaker hood.
