Z-Dreamer Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Yes I finally found what I've been looking for . What's that you say? A killer deal that's what ! Let me explain, as an Automotive Rep with Safety Kleen, I deal with hundreds of accounts and many of them are speed shops, engine builders and such. Well, awhile ago I mentioned to Bob Johnson of Johnson Racing my Hybrid project and my desire for a SBC deal. Well, as it turns out, Bob had a customer that stiffed him for major machine work on a NASCAR West Coast motor. So... Bob calls me with a "DEAL". Are you ready? Ok, here goes 1. NASCAR SBC four bolt 350 fully machined ( bored, honed, line-honed and decked) new ARP studs. 2. Pontiac Motorsports Aluminum Heads # 10033867 ( 2.100 intake valves, 1.625 exhausts, 62cc ). The heads are bare, but are fully machined, ported and ready for assemble. 3. New! Scat 9000 series crankshaft 3.48" stroke. 4. New! Forged Manley pistons. 5. 6" Forged H-beem rods. 6. New! Clevite bearings. Ok, how much? How about $1500 I'm sooo stoked! This combo will give a 10:1 comp for the street. I plan on using shaft mounted roller rockers and a solid roller cam. Sorry I got so long winded, I'm just so happy P.S. All cam suggestions are welcome Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Dreamer Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 It will go in my 72 240Z, along with a T-56 (that I'm shopping for) along with my LSD R200 with 3.70 gears. Life is good! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 great deal!!!!!!!but do yourself a huge favor and call CRANE CAMS 1-386-258-6174 for your cam advise as those heads flow enough that the cam choice is critical to your engines success and DONT USE A DUAL PLANE INTAKE it will choke those heads to death, use something like a http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/AMS/AMSM/300-105.html and at least a 750 cfm carb and 1 3/4" headers minimum, putting a dual plane intake and a set of shorty headers with a 600 cfm carb will cost you at least 70 hp!

Guest Anonymous Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Glad to hear it Mark, that was a real score.... Nascar block... Man you stumble on to the best deals... You rock.. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Dude, that is some serious hardware for a pauper's sum. You scored BIGTIME! Very cool! Is there an estimated hp for the combo if you take Grumpy's suggestions???? I'd love to know. Demon Carb, Baby! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 Thanks guys, I still can't believe how I stumble into these deals. Bob Johnson (now my engine builder) said the same thing about the cam and intake choices. Critical is the Word, Bob swears by Crane Cams and sugguested a solid street roller and a good single plane intake design. I want to run long tube headers, at least 1.75", but the heads are angle plugs and I don't know if the S&S long tubes will work or if I'll have to have customs made. Any ideas? GrumpyVette, do you know where I can find the flow numbers for these heads? Thanks again guys. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 there are so many unknowns here that any real hp/tq numbers are going to depend on what you pick but with an average set of 1 3/4" headers, that holley intake and 750 carb and a CRANE cams solid roller cam (that set of heads is capable of 520-560 hp and getting (a little more) is not that hard! like I said talk to crane cams!

nullbound Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 sweet deal, dude! the S&S full-length will work with angled-plug heads. get 'em coated and run a dual 3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted January 27, 2002 Author Share Posted January 27, 2002 WoW, I was hoping for an honest 450HP! I'm starting to think this project is going to turn out rather NASTY when I'm done with it. I'm going to have to but a 14 point cage in this First! Hm... I know where I can get some WIDE IMSA three piece rims from a early 80's 280Z. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted January 31, 2002 Author Share Posted January 31, 2002 Does anyone know where I can get the flow numbers for these Pontiac Motorsport heads? I'd love to punch them into Desktop Dyno and see what I can come up with! Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
