Something I would enjoy but time is SO limited, I only have Sundays and it's like form and orderly queue with things that need doing.

Never say never however!

I'll send you a text to see if you're free when everythings here anyway if you're free the offer of food and drink is there

I'm off down south to drop off the small block and pick up the big block on saturday now cant wait to fit a blown 454

Ciao

And yeah mate please keep me in the loop, I will MAKE time as long as there IS time!

I can switch over/sort out your knuckles/hubs once and for all whilst you're fettling the engine

haha deal! I don't want to touch the knuckles I is too lazy!



Suppose if all the bits are here you can even run the engine on a pallet! Those hydraulic cams don't need breaking in, they're good to go out the box

I would like to stand on the engine whilst it is running, one for the album

Theres been a slight change in plan yet again!

I'm no longer picking up the later model GenVI block and instead I'm picking up a MKIV engine which is complete but stripped and has a Weiand 8-71 with it and twin Holley 600 carbs.....

This works out cheaper for me as its a 2 bolt main and given that I'm not going to be revving the tits off the motor it'll be more than strong enough! Especially with a stud girdle in place

Urm, ok!

What sort of year are these motors?

1996 would have been the GenVI block, the MK4 could is an 80's one I think


The blocks are as good but cheaper cos they're older, the GenVI block is also harder to get parts for as they're newer so theres no a huge deal of aftermarket bits going cheap unlike the MKIV

I love this thread, i literally have no idea what you started doing, and how you got to this point, but I'm glad you're doing it. Keep up the good work

Cheers appreciate the support haha


I don't know either I had it more or less roadworthy with the 3.5 efi then I kept getting bigger engines until I settled on a supercharged 454

Pics will follow on saturday once the motor has been collected

i just hope to god that you don't find anything bigger to fit in the tratter,or we will never see it move ffs.

Physically this is about as big as I can go, only thing larger would be a 502 but they're like rocking horse ****

No doubt you'll find one and rip the 454 out just before it's running
