New Toy

so whats the specs on the powerplant?

Built this motor for a buddy of mine about 4 years ago for a local outlaw dirt modified series (IMCA spec on everything but the motor). 8 laps into the first heat with it he got spun going into 3. Broke his leg and totaled the chassis. .060 over 350, 6"rods, 12.5:1, solid roller, scat 3.50 forged crank, forged light weight I beams, unported cast iron heads. Been sitting in storage since the wreck.

Well I got gotten quite a bit done but still along ways way. Got the modifications to the crossmember done. It didn't need to be done for the smallblock, it was done to clear the oil pan and headers for the BBC that will eventually end up in it. New mid-plate mounts are in. I've got about half the wiring done. I built a new welding table. I built the shifter mount/switch panel/ console thingy this past weekend after the first TnT got rained out. Hate we didn't get it off but we sure needed the rain. LOL. Going to tackle where the previous owner butchered the front sub-frame to clear the coilovers next. I have a hard time remembering to take pics (especially the before's) , but here are the few I have taken. I'll try to remember to take pics of the spring pockets (or what's left of them) before I start on them. If y'all have any suggestions or questions I'm always up for new ideas..
