Yep Robbie we are making movement forward... I still have some big items to buy for it like the Transmission, Air conditioning, Radiator, Drive shaft and then the biggie the interior... once I can come up with the money for those it should be able to be finished... I am hoping for Early 2016...

Ok... it is like I am starting the 12 days of Christmas... LOL... Got the wiring kit for Raymond yesterday... man this kit is SCHWEET!!!!...

I went with the Highway 22 kit instead of the Factory style due to pretty much nothing on this truck is Original... This allows mounting the fuse box anywhere I want it so smoothing the firewall is not a problem...

Went by Patterson's today to take the polished aluminum parts back to them after sealing them over the weekend... I was told that all the parts are there with the exception of a couple of small parts, the custom grind camshaft, push rods and the distributor...

They are starting the bottom end tomorrow and will finish up sometime late next week with the top end... so probably the week of December 7th we will be firing it and running the dyno on it... I am hoping to be able to film it on the Dyno...

Here's a little something to compare it to...

305 SBC, solid lifters, steel production heads, 450HP

Sweet... We will see... My main thing is for it to be a good drivable small block with some decent fuel economy... I also want a little thump to it and still make enough vacume to run the accessories...

All excellent goals, Dan, particularly the vacuum. Nothing's worse than having to compensate for picking the wrong cam.

Indeed it is! Machine work by G&G Performance Engine in Tomball, TX, assembled by me in Sedalia, MO and dyno'd at Ostrich Racing Engines in Des Moines, IA.

Yep... Allan is Grinding the cam himself for this engine... I am lucky the he is doing most of this engine himself... I have heard rumors that Patterson Racing is merging with someone else so this could be the last street engine that "Patterson" builds...

I can tell you Vic... Had Patterson not accepted to do this Engine you and I would have been talking... I appreciate your friendship...

Oh, no doubt! I was just trying to make sure if I was seeing what I thought I was seeing.

[Elliot949]

THIS WAS A EXCITING DAY!!!!... Patterson Racing completed the engine today for Raymond... It made a impressive 403HP and 456 Foot Lbs Torque... I AM STOKED!!!!... I will bring it home tomorrow...



I also to the truck back over to Carlson's Hot Rods to get the firewall welded and finished off and a couple of small issues taken care of... when it comes back in a couple weeks I will do the final block on it and get it painted... once that is done we will slip this little "JEWELL" in it and start wiring it...

Yes but I can't get it to upload on here... it is on my Facebook...

[Vic1947]

Looks sweet, Dan, and should be fun to drive! At what rpms did it make the peak numbers?

[Elliot949]

Vic... It made the max Torque @3200 and max Hp @ 4900... I have to tell you I am VERY happy with these numbers out of a original 67-327... I went against what Allan wanted me to do to try and keep the engine as close to original as possible.. He wanted me to go to a set of Aluminum heads and I wanted to stay with the original Cast heads... So he just did alot of work on the heads to get them to flow better...

He even scolded me again yesterday that if I had changed to the Aluminum Heads we would be making more like 460 HP and over 500 Clb-Torque...

I told him for a street truck and just a driver 400 HP was plenty... LOL

Amen to that, Dan. I'm especially impressed with the torque peak. That's a lot for that size engine and it comes at a usable rpm. I'd be very happy too. Good job!
