its a dart 427 Sportsman billet eagle crank 4" (ithink) the papers in the van, 6.25 eagle rods and probe pistions 9.5 deck cranton 8qp oil pan dart 225 heads i got no intake or carb and a dyno because he fired me ! but i was told 625-650 hp550 -585 tq.

Gee Wayne... you think it's enough power?

Waaaaaaaaaaaa!

Sounds like a pretty sick motor, Wayne! Enjoy it!

Michael

as you see i have no intake or carbs(efi)i have 2 things on my mind 1. efi webers with 180 headersor 2. efi with twin turbos. what would you do?

Wayne—looks like you'll be taking "top engine" in a lot of shows. EFI would be cool, I'd put some valve covers on it too, otherwise you're gonna get oil everywhere when you run it and Liza is gonna be pissed at you.

Hey Wayne! What's shakin'?

I'd go with EFI and the 180's. If your motor was not built to specifically handle turbos (or boost), you could have problems down the road. Detonation, head gasket retention, blowby are just a few that come to mind. The heat they generate could peel paint and cook your engine oil, and there'd be much more plumbing and expense!

180's just look so sweet in a Pantera. You just can't do that with any car!

Just my opinion. Good luck!

Michael

HOLY MOLY!! What is that, like a twenty gallon oil pan?????

Congrats Wayne, looks like a winner!It also looks like a quick 3 speeding tickets! Who built the motor and when do you plan on having it installed?

i plan on starting to clean up the enginge bay and remove the 351c starting in nov1 . i have the new motor on the stand at my school to start the headers they will not be 180s but verry close i just dont want 2 pipes going over to the other colector.this motor was built with turbos in mind .its an 8 qt oil pan with 10to1 compresstion.i want to order the valve covers from pim that say 427hammer.as for the oil leak on the tranny . i was talking to our pantera brother derrick hes going to help fix and go through my tranny over the winter"thanks derrick"

Ron
