Wow, I never saw that many people involved in installing an engine

Is that a garage door opener rail you're using for the pulley?

We need to be many, to eat all the food, and drink all the beer !! :- )

Yes I know it looks like a garage door opener, but's it not, it is a strong c-channel steel. It could also take a BB engine.

Lots of time and money there, food looks great weather looks

Lots down the torquer 2 but it does fit under the hood and has a nice top end pull when it comes on. Youll feel it. With 3.73 gears it should be a lot of tire burning fun.

Tell us more about the engine build whats in it.

Was the guy holding the 2x4 trying to keep the roof from collapsing?

Wow! That car is really tricked out. You will be very proud owner soon.

The torquer 2 will be replaced by a G-team 7530 intake (fuel injection will be added also)
Its a 1 seal 383 with 195 Trick flow heads, and roller cam/lifters.


YES :- )
But it was only for extra safety, the lifting setup is strong enough.

I'm sure Karsten is looking forward getting his 71 back on he road, he has been working for 1 year on his car now.
In 8 weeks time we will start it up (we hope :- )

Looks like a great Saturday afternoon project for all the neighborhood car nuts....install engine, eat food, drink beer, drink beer, drink beer, drink beer, drink beer.....you get the idea

3JsVette

There's lots of upgrades surrounding that 383. This car should be a great driver soon.

Great project!

If you were more local would be glad to take the Torker 2 off your hands
Like that old stuff.
At one time had over 40 goofy intakes ocd with it

c3_dk

G Team 7530 will go into the car.
The Torker 2 is for the scarp yard.

I installed my new 7530 yesterday

worship79

The torker 2 is scrap? As in broken? Might be an easy upgrade for my EDL performer (2701) intake.

c3_dk

The Torker 2 is a old and bad design. It's not worth anything.
He is going for G-Team because he has EFI.
Before he had 7501 (or 7101 can't remember)

The Torker 2 is not his, we only took it to measure the hight gain going with G-Team. (Torker 2 and G-Team has almost same carb. hight.)

Love to have that hanging on the wall shame to toss it
Did you have that vid of the nightmare with HB porting? He ever make right?

c3_dk

Regarding HB, it's been a nightmare for sure. I really hope that nobody makes any deals with him.

I'm still down one set of heads. And springs, keepers ec ec for the set of heads I got.

Here is the set of heads I got.
Maybe I will use the set of heads on a L46 engine I have, and mount the 91 Corvette TPI set I also have.
If I build the L46 to stock, then the set of heads will never be used.

I should have bought AFR from day one !!

cv67

Thats raw...esp with him knowing youre where you are. You arent alone though.

Interesting you left the carbide finish think the" pretty stuff" most want is overrated.

c3_dk

He only did 50% of the job, on the set I got.
But never mind, it 4 years now.

In a way I fell sorry for him, he is living in a big lie in his own small world. With a lot of people he has upset, and he knows that.

Good thing it not me...........

cv67

..and people still fall for it at least you moved on
Think weve all been there. 8 yrs over 15k between 2 body shops car was stripped everything gone from one shop, the other never finished ugh.
the vid of him not sure if its still up where he lights his foot on fire though

Enjoy that thing!

c3_dk

I had to, after 1 year I knew it was all over. I got ripped of, that how it is.

I just hate it, why can't we have a parts/cars for our self?
I work hard for my money, they should do the same !!
