ALL MOTOR BUILD!!(Pics)

[2001 GTS]

Finally starting to come together. Started the tear down back in March '08 and now have all the parts ready to drop in!

Basics:
JE Pistons - 11.5:1 Compression
242/246 Solid Roller Cam with .650" total lift
Greg Good ported GEN2 heads - Final flow - 321 Intake, 240ish exhuast
Fidanza Flywheel with replacement stock Luk clutch
70MM Throttle Bodies
B&B 1-3/4 Headers
No cats - 3" catback

Other parts:
1000hp Unitrax half shafts
Fuel Rails by AB
65lb Injectors
Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
RSI dual walbro fuel pump drop in hanger
Cometic head gaskets
ATI Damper
T&D Rockers
VEC3
G-Force built T-56
19" CCW SP550s

We kept the stock 488ci displacement as well as working with the stock Gen2 heads. The goal is to make 600-650rwhp without having to bore or stroke the motor or use aftermarket heads.

Special Thanks to (I'm sure this list will grow before it is all over with):

KT Engine Development - Concord, NC
Greg Good Cylinder Heads
AB - Fuel rails and wires
Simms - Injectors
Mike(99 RT/10) - VEC, Flywheel, Tires
SVS - T&D Rockers
RSI - Billet Fuel Pump Hanger

Will keep you guys updated when its back together and tuned....

[Simms]

[Viper Fever]

Looks great, what kind of engine managment system will you be going with? Also how did you determine you would need 65 lb injectors?

[2001 GTS]

Thanks Guys!

Engine management is a VEC3 with a Roe injector driver box. The "65lb" number just came from what Simms had for sale. I knew I needed 45lb+, and the vec can adjust for the different size injectors.

[99 R/T 10]

I am looking forward to seeing the power you'll lay down

[gb66gth]

Now that's how to build a motor!

[vipeuup]

That is awesome.

[plumcrazy]

keep us posted and gregs work looks great

[hardtop]

Nice N/A setup.

[VENOMAHOLIC]

I also am a big fan of NA horsepower. Hope all goes smooth and you are on the road asap!

[ab]

Might as well add your new rails to this thread.. PM me your address.

Here's your hand made rails finished today. Sorry for the delay.

[99 R/T 10]

Man! Those are some big fat fingers right there............................................

[Jim Wilson]

Hey Adam, if I didn't know better, I'd say you took those photos with a certain someones D300!!!

[ab]

Actually I didn't. I took it with a crappy Kodak camera I am stuck with. The D300 and all the goodies are packed up and ready to go! If I took them with the D300, the pictures would have been a million times better!

Here's a picture with the D300 that was reduced down. This was taken about a month or so back.

[Jim Wilson]

I guess I didn't know better. My apologies!

[DC Performance]

Let me know if you need help tuning that engine when its finished. We can help.

Dan

[2001 GTS]

Thanks Dan! Might have to take you up on that.

PM Sent Adam....those rails look HOT!

[281cammer]

Looks weak to me!!!!

If you can pull off 650HP, I will be extremely impressed. Most motors can't get anywhere close to 650 with any durability unless you go bore/stroke, boost or spray. There are very few high performance N/A motors out there with more than 500HP, let alone 650. Nice build!

[Jerome Sparich]

That cross hatch in the cylinders looks suspect.

Do you have any better/closer pics of it?

The only pics I took up close of the motor are the ones posted. What do you think is suspect?

The angle of the cross hatch looks like hell. Atleast it does in that pic. It may just be the pic, but I am not too sure it is.

Looks like the hone was moving upward and downward much too fast. That is unless the ring manufacturer calls for such a spec?

[2001 GTS]

Got the CCWs in...and wow these wheels look good. Will get a lot better pics when I get them on the car.

But for now they are locked up in the car hauler....







Also...my VEC2 is for sale in the classifieds.

[2001 GTS]

WOW...the VEC2 sold in less than 5hrs. It's off to a new home in WA...thanks James!

[2001 GTS]

Got some more parts in while I'm waiting for the car to get back together. I will hopefully get some pics of the motor fully assembled before it get dropped in.

Thanks George from MGW for getting this to me:



Thanks Carl (Catwood) for the track parts; Porsche style deflectors, rear toe brackets, and tow hooks:



And here are the big brakes from R&J continuing the red/black theme:



And finally some better shots of the CCWS!!!

[OKViper]

I'm jealous of your build - looks awesome...

600 rwhp would be awesome...esp at 488 cid
