rytherwr Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hey Folks, Merry Christmas...project is coming along pretty well....just no time to work on it. Hoped to have it completed by Christmas...no joy. I put one of the down-pipes on (sending away to get coated) so you can see how they will go through the fender-well, behind the front tire and into the mufflers. It looks a lot more busy in the pictures than it does in person, however, it still helps to have worked in a spaghetti factory...)...enjoy!

rytherwr Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks for the complements, Drew...I have been known to be called worse than that....) Many thanks, John...I see where Jerry is getting the itch to put his together...hope I had a little to do with that..) I'm hoping to have this thing done in a couple of weeks (gotta wait for the down-pipes to get back from coating) and will try to video when it comes is resurrected in it's present form...)

Pyro Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Why are you calling that a 454! Is that a stroker small block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Wayne, that is so sweet! I would be VERY happy to be at the point where you are now with my twin turbo project...I'm envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytherwr Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Pyro...because it IS a 454...Bill Mitchell 454 Special Edition small block chevy...600 hp naturally aspirated. Same bore and stroke as a big block, however, packaged in an Motown small block. Hey Rick...and I would love to be where you are with your car....h-m-m-m-m, your car, my engine...that would be a killer combo, eh?

Pyro Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Yes, I see that now in your specs. 454 sbc. What compression are you running? Ever run a full 1/4 mile with your non turbo 454 setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rytherwr Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yes...the first time out at SEZ in Reynolds GA, it ran 11.20 at 126 mph. Wrong gears, wrong tranny, and carburated. Only ran the 1/8th since I changed gears, transmissions and went to fuel injection. According to my 1/8th mile times, it would have run 10.10 or so in the quarter nowadays.
