Perrin Aybara's Journey to an Elite Powerlifting Total

[Perrin Aybara]

Yeah, that's what everyone says to check that I've talked to. After the holidays are over and the spending that comes with them I'm going to try to look at it again. I keep it at my grandma's because there's a garage there to put it in, so I'm not around it much to just go out and tinker with it whenever I want. I hope it's something simple like that.

It'll be a cheap fix.. the coils from msd ,the cylinder looking ones are shit.. don't get those..

I definitely opt for the good stuff on this car. I gotta change the oil, too. I think with it missing it's pulled gas into the engine. Smells like it anyway.

 

[taco33150]

If it's missing it isn't gonna burn the fuel .. your right about that

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Do you drive yours on the street at all? This one started out as a drag car years ago.

Agreed, I worked on my grandpas little el camino a few weeks ago was amazed at how cheap sbc parts are. Carbs are still high but seems like intakes and distributors got cheaper in the last few years.

Not anymore.. it's got a full spool , mini tubbed, I drove it like that before but it's a bitch to back up.. I have a trans brake on it.. and you have to hold the button down to go into reverse.. try that with no power steering.. if I drive it .. I need someone to follow me cause it will have a 5 inch downpipe sticking out the bottom fender.. running exhaust on a turbo drag car is basically a straight pipe.. let me go take a pic real quick if the pipe..

Sbc is a lot cheaper than ford.. don't know why.. I must've changed my mind 3 times ..I bought two ls motors and just sold them .. then I wanted to sell the motor in the pic so I can build a big block chevy.. big block means big dollars..that motor I had done cost me 7700.. thats with out the heads.. I have under 9500 total in it..

[taco33150]

That pipe goes straight down . Right off turbo... but I'm having one done where it's going through the bottom fender

 

[Perrin Aybara]

The Nova is mini tubbed, too. Fuel cell in the trunk. No roll cage though.

What size tire you got . You know the rim backspace on it.? It'll look bad ass with a deep dish rear rim.. make it look like an outlaw drag car...

I'm partial to the ls engines especially if its going in a street car. The easy hp is a plus on them but everyone overlooks the fact that you don't have to fight oil leaks like you do on older small blocks

For a stock motor those ls motors can handle some abuse..for factory heads they flow damn good if you get the right ones

I just started building what I hope is going to be a bad ass little high winding bastard. 6.0 destroked with a 4.8 crank, ls9 cam, comp springs and I haven't decided on push rods yet. Hoping to bounce it up to 10k rpm somewhat reliably.lol

 

[taco33150]

Ls1 tech can help you with that.. 10k Rpms . Shit is gonna be screaming!!! Valve train stability is a must... I had to get shaft rockers for mine with my solid roller cam.. 8500 is about as high im going..

 

[taco33150]

I want a 60s nova , been wanting one for years.. but I got to finish this one first..

The shorter stroke should help some but 10k is asking alot on any engine. I've done gathered all the free parts I can from work so I'm going to have to start spending some money on it soon.lol

 

[taco33150]

@Perrin Aybara i just thought about this.. this happen to me before.. I bought some fancy 9mm racewires and it started missing later on .. couldn't figure out why..so one day i said let me try one more thing.. I got a set of cheap auto zone plug wires .. changed all of them.. bam it stopped missing..

Put it in the vlavetrain.. changing the trunions on the rocker arms is a start.. valvesprings is a must also.. if not you gonna have valve float on higher rpms...
