i think that has just made my mind up

[Rav335uk]

[ross2009]

your naughty rav lol

[Rav335uk]

So they say.

[ross2009]

this is a 3d model of exactly what ive got in mind even down to the right manifold

[blackE30indy]

Dibs on the inlet

[ross2009]

Dibs on the inlet

i thought you might say that lol well see mate

[blackE30indy]

You know it

[ross2009]

im not gonna let it go for pennies tho i will warn ya now lol

[blackE30indy]

We can work something out

[Rav335uk]

What's the overall Width of the engine on it's widest part?

[ross2009]

im not sure rav but i know they go in with no problems there not as big as you may think the other widest part will be where the turbos sit but that can be determend by the types of exhaust manifold i make

[Rav335uk]

Best make them tight as possible then

[ross2009]

Best make them tight as possible then

i can go get a measurement now as my dads car has a smal block ford in his falcon but i aint going out in the cold lol got plenty of time for that lol

[Rav335uk]

What;s the N/A bhp of the V8?

[ross2009]

it really depend which one rav
the first ones they made in about 1967 where about 295 bhp at around the 450 500 nm mark
but over the year due to the smog stuff in the states they went as low as 160 bhp believe it or not but they all vary but normally between 250bhp and 350 bhp is a round figure

there u go have a read lol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_ ... ock_engine

[Rav335uk]

That's a HUGE difference.

[ross2009]

I know it surprising how they managed to restrict them that much

[pacerpete]

The small block Chevy actually first appeared in 1955 ! Rav bought a new one for his 21st birthday !

[ross2009]

lmfao nice one pete
I was actually being specific to the 350 ci

[ross2009]

so i thought i better put some updated pics up of what ive been up to over the winter a few little new bits a few tweeks on the engine
enjoy
new oil drain for the turbo




drift look


new oil drain and new exhaust wrap down pipe was also done






i also had a go at doing my carpet from gray to black bought the carpet of mick (magpie)and from this


too this


so whle the engine was out i thought id tidy the engine bay up a little so that got a lick of paint too




then just gave a few things a little polish




havent got a pic yet of the new carpet and mats etc in but i will take some maybe tomoz

[E30BeemerLad]

Bollocks to the carpet, keep the engine bay pics coming.

I haven't read back over this thread but what's the spec of this bad boy. Looks like it's getting more serious now with the inlet manifold etc

[ross2009]

ha ha ha well the carpet had to be done as it was terrible erm engine its forged ross racing pistons etc etc 8.0-1 cr running about 1.3 bar its about 400 or so at the mo

[blackE30indy]

I still want one of them inlets,I get first refusal please
