Finally on its way home for the install!!!

[Zr1 Destroyer]

Finally had some time to finish degreeing the cams where i wanted them in my cookie cutter 415.....thanks to Rods(nj) dad. Just thought i'd through a few pics up of me getting it ready for its ride home to be together again with the ol Z!

The jeffvette powder coating work looks awesome with the white racing stainlees bolt/dowdy kit! Has bme gas ported pistons, oliver titanium rods and a knife edged bryant crank......blah blah blah......you know...cookie cutter stuff!
I'll post a few more pics up of the install fun and hopefully fire it this week.

Nice, so what did you end up setting the cams at, unless that's locked in the R@D vault, I would understand? Probably not your run of the mill cams either though?

[Paul Workman]

Wow! That looks very good! (Someone let Jeffvette know that I'm sending him my upper end for a port and powder job soon as I can swing it!!)

Thanks for the pix. That looks awesome. (I really don't understand why the with the new ZR1 that GM decided to put a coffee table on top of the engine - thinking that looked somehow better to the eying public (car nuts in fact!) than seeing the "works". )

FWIW,

P.

Not that I'm aware of. But then, who else is there except for Wayne Hale's new one? I doubt that you'll see his on the track, or my rear TT either. We both tend to play elsewhere and not real interested in building dedicated drag cars. Now Ron may be a different story when his is done. Although I don't think he wants to build a dedicated drag car either. We both know that if you don't stuff breaks and you can't go as fast.

I just like the rush you get from 3rd & 4th gear pulls. It's as close to an afterburner I'll ever get. Although....rear mounted turbos are kinda like afterburners aren't they?;)

[GrayZ]

Destroyer, just pulling you're chain, the engine turned out
purrrrfect. you have one bad azzed ride my friend.
If you do decide to make the roadtrip to Bowling Green,
I can offer you a safe house, for the night in Mid Missouri.
congrats on a job well done. :worship:

Now I bet you got a real bad case of permagrin!:mrgreen:

Congrats on the motor....it is a sweet feeling to fire it up & have all green at run in.

Enjoy your new toy!

[Zr1 Destroyer]

Thanks guys!:handshak:I was pumped last night when I fired her up in the ol garage.....No engine light...no nothing yet. It sounds smooth(stock cams) and deep/loud even with the exhaust on. I let it run for about twenty minutes and gave it a couple quick revs.......the fast throttle response was very noticable and revs even faster....gotta love a 4-1/8 stroke crank!

I going to take it off the jack stands today after I fill the zf back up with some fluid(thanks Uly for the fluid advice)!

I have a new Sony camera, but can't figure out how to take the video yet...time to read the instructions I guess!

[QB93Z]

Great looking LT5 in a great looking Quasar Blue. I like the blue Samco's with the blue car. I may have to get a set of those for mine.

[A1990]

Lookin good Ry! Congrats:occasion1

[petefias]

In the early photos I noticed you still had the secondary vacum reservoir. Did you leave the secondary throttle plates in?

Nice looking motor. I'm sure it will be strong as well.

Nice looking motor. I'm sure it will be strong as well.Secondarys are all gone, but I wasn't sure what to or what not to remove some I just pluged the canistser vacum tubing off. I saw that the reserboir fed a few other things aswell, but it runs fine with no lights flashing at me....so I guess it's right...lol!

:dancing

[Zr1 Destroyer]

Thanks Frank and Dennis....I can't wait to take her out on a friday night!:cheers:

[Z Factor]

I am sure you are dying to take it out for a spin. Just be careful and avoid driving in bad weather. We don't want another tragedy like poor djpatrick had. :cry:

BTW- It is looking very sharp. :thumbsup:

:cheers:

[Peaven]

Brutal, just brutal....congrats Ry.:cheers:

[32valve]

DAMNNN....motor looks sweet. That thing is gonna drive great with the stock cams in it. 600HP and idle at 500rpm.....gotta love it!

[Zr1 Destroyer]

Thanks again guys!:handshak: Sending the chip out for the tune and trying too gather some cashola for some new accell primary injectors. Just drove down to the lacal BMW dealership for some 10/60 Castrol to quiet the ZF down a little since I also added a Fidanza flywheel.....also need to set the idle up around 800rpm to also help dampen the tranny noise!


Fun times......:dancing......fluid goes in ZF tomorrow and she'll off on her maiden voyage around my hood!!!

[tomtom72]

I hope you look like this after the maiden voyage!:D

Good luck with your new car!:worship:

:cheers:
