I updated my website on this car on 11/23 before I went out of town last week, but I thought I'd start a new thread on this car.

The Warhawk engine is built, just waiting on a Tilton clutch assembly to arrive. Bob

Real nice build Should be a great car. What are you doing for suspension? ACP / Kerry is great. Thanks for taking the time to show the build process. Looking forward for more Doing a full cage?

Bob's (EPP) been working on this project with me. Great job.

I also have been working, with Kerry(good call) and have purchased the Z11 body kit, world challenge hood, rear wing, front splitter and some other key mods.

As for cage and suspension, I'm going to install coil overs (Moton or JRZ 3 way) and Pdapt sway bars, plus full Nascar type cage.

Will post addl info and pics as the car takes shape. Should be a ton of fun.

My driving mentor, Shorthrow has been tremendous and also helped us along the process.

Beautiful!!
Who makes the dry sump??

Adam Boca

It looks like a Daly setup...

Nice car Tom! I can not wait to see it at the Autobahn Garage!

Why use a motor plate? What are you doing w/ the front crossmember etc?

snitz

Good call, it is a Daly. The garage is looking tremendous. Mike and Don have really done an amazing job. Can't wait to move in!

The use of a motor plate ties the engine directly into the chassis, making the whole platform much more rigid.
Engine plates also eliminate torque roll of engine within frame as experienced with stock type mount. Bob

^ Cool... just never seen one other than in a few drag oriented f-bodys.

A Dodge NASCAR engine during assembly in the engine shop at Bill Davis Racing. You can see the motor plates attached to the front of the engine. Bob

^ Cool... the benefits make sense... motor tied directly into chassis, no rocking back and forth etc

A lot of race car builders solid mount the engine and use the engine as a integral part of the chassis structure. Bob

I like the Daly dry sump. Does anyone know where I can get more information on them?

They're pretty close lipped in general advertising, but are good folks to talk to. http://www.daileyengineering.com/

IIRC, the long pump butts up against the steering rack, and the short pump won't clear the factory engine mounts. Either problem are fairly easy to solve (move the rack, or use engine plates / fab a slightly different engine mount bracket).

The pan and pumps are both top-notch work, tho . . . and used on quite a few folk use the Dailey pans. The ARE pan doesn't even compare IMO . . . the Dailey pan is worth the extra $$$ and some.

The Tilton clutch has arrived!

Now it's time to get the engine, transmission and rear installed back into the car. I'll add more pictures as the drivetrain goes back together, which will take us several days. Bob

I was adding more pic's yesterday to this build, saved it several times. All was going well and when I got done and got back into it the whole thing was blank!!!! Needless to say I did not sleep well last night. Bob

Sorry! Hope it's an easy fix.

0EPP

It does not look good. I have all the pic's stored, but it will take 10+ hours to redo everything. Bob

snitz

Bob I just noticed you were able to reload the old pics and some great new stuff! Wow!! Can't wait to see after you add some text!! tremendous.

Thanks! I worked on it off and on yesterday until 10:00 pm last night. I'm going to try to get caught back up on it today. Bob
