Well its beeen FOREVER since i been on here, been working hard and i finallly got this motor done. Its a 383 Stroker with brodix heads. Supposed to be making a good 600hp atleast. Were hoping hehe. Anyways, I know how much yall loooove looking at peoples new motors so, here she is. Picked her up today and layed her on the frame not 3 hours ago! Enjoy guys!

This is me speeding through the "gears" that arent really there yet HAHAA!

phantom dually · 11-17-2005, 11:27 PM

haha....yea.....It will be "kinda" streetable haha. There isnt a stock part on this dam thing haha. Huge cam .630 lift, Track 1 Heads, fully ported and CNC work blah blah etc. etc. Holly Carb, 7qt oil pan, 6in rods from scat as well as a scat crank. KB Pistons, should be an awesome motor!! If anything..Ill get 450 outta it hehe :P

And yes....that frame is DUSTY!!!! I feel ashamed to even let anyone see it haha :P

Engine looks great bro...I love it!

Now about that hat hair...

1987 Shortwide · 11-18-2005, 01:26 PM

I wish my frame looked like that right about now

*DroppedZ84* · 11-18-2005, 02:17 PM

Freakin SWEET!
BUT...I think 600hp is a little bit of a stretch...
A friend put a similar motor in his 83 SWB, except he used the MoTown 220 top end. I think 500hp is a little more realistic (Depending on how much compression you're running...I'm assuming at least 11:1 with that big of a cam.)

Well thos numbers have been desktop dynoed. I dooont think ill get that much outta her but you never kno right. im hoping for a solid 450-500. Right now im only going on my desktop dyno nubmers.

boxrodz · 11-19-2005, 02:13 AM

It's looking real good. Good progress.

BTW, don't worry 'bout the dust. It'll blow right off once you crank 'er up.

86swb · 11-19-2005, 11:31 PM
