You can DM me your credit card number…

Looks good. There are a lot of boxes and I may have missed this above but are you planning to run injection or carburetor?

I like that it looks like over 400 lbft at 2400 rpms. That is good grunt. Do not get me wrong, we all like HP numbers, but to get that above 4k does not do much for trail riding, BUT sure will make you giggle on the street! It looks like it has plenty to chug on the trail and then blip it to go on the flats. Looks like it will be a lot of fun in your 40. Any idea where you were on #'s on the last one?

My little 40 is only pushing about 225 hp and my race car is closer to 500. The difference is huge!

I love those torque numbers you've got down low. That's gonna feel nice for everything going on this year for sure. I expect you to levitate up WH1 now...

Old engine is ready to come out . Just have to remove the rad . And undo two bolts and she is coming out . New engine is dressed

 

[Firemedic831]

The only glitch is my new Sanderson headers . I think I am going to have to dimple it a little . That kinda hurts .

 

[Firemedic831]

Fixed that with a couple taps with a ball peen hammer . Pulling the old engine today then cutting the old mounts off . We will see how the day goes. . I did order some different style motor mounts from Ruffstuff but they have not shown up yet I also have a set from Advanced adapter.
I like the Ruffstuff mounts better I think So I may have to be patient

 

[Firemedic831]

Will spend tomorrow cleaning things up and get engine set

 

[Firemedic831]

Made progress today . Cut the old mounts off. Welded in the new mounts. Set the engine in and started hooking things up . I might have to put my old headers on just to get it to an exhaust shop . But that’s not a big deal

With all that bling, you have to paint the underside of your hood!

Just curious, how does that radiator do keeping a v8 cool?

 

[Firemedic831]

Yes that is in the works

Well I have been through the Rubicon 6 times with it and twice up fordyce. As long as I am moving it’s been fine. If I sit and wait it will start going up . The worst it has ever got is up to 220 . But will come down once I start moving. . Now since I moved the engine back I can add an electric fan .
