84 502ci fun toy!

[McNutty]

Well I dont think I ever posted pics of this truck but figured I would share. This is my fathers truck for now but soon will be mine. The motor I bought last spring for 600.00 complete 502ci marine motor. Basically was a 502ho.

Took to my engine builder and begun the work. Everything was tore down, cleaned and machined. This had a 4 bolt main all forged internals. So we cleaned everything up and put it all back together with some real nice parts.

all stock size bottom end with all forged internals balanced and blueprinted. Used Molley file fit rings, ace race bearings and melling select high volume and pressure oil pump. The heads are doug herbert 320cc with 2.25/1/90 stainless manley valves. The heads were cleaned up with some mild port work done.

The thump stick is a doug herbert full roller 260/270 with 685/685 lift 106ls. We used harland sharp rollers and doug herbert stud girdles. power plus intake with a 920 holley. Full msd ignition to light the fire!

There is still a lot to do to this truck. The exhaust sucks as it has small primary headers with 2.5'' collectors. This will be changed to 2'' primarys with 3.5'' collectors and exhaust to set of race mufflers. The rearend is a 10bolt with 3.42 posi which i plan on getting 3.73s and all new axles etc with caltracs. The trans is a th400 that will be getting built. It does have a 3500 stall.

Plans are built trans, new headers and exhaust, rearend kit and caltracs, roll cage, maybe a 950 or 1000cfm carb and sticky tires. The motor is built strong enough to handle an easy shot of 300 but I will only run a 125 shot after everything else is done.


The power this thing is making is unreal and has so so so much more in it. I think once I get everything done I am guessing around a 7.50 1/8th mile and in the 6's with spray!
