Another build by PeteK
Getting a bit excited about this swap. Getting very close to getting it. Figured I'd share some of the pics with you guys I have so far. Not real sure on the specs of everything but its a 383 bored 60 over.
I'm using the heads I already have and will still be using the HSR intake.
I also finished up my dual exhaust a couple of weeks ago. I went with a LT1 3 in stainless steel, so she'll be able to breathe.
Never did a engine swap before and looking forward to it.

Ed, If Im not mistaken thats the (Pet block) that Pete never wanted to sell. It was tested and found to have plenty of metel left after the 60 overbore and he wanted to keep it for a project..Your a lucky man.. If it turns out like my motor did from Pete (and Im sure it will) you will be very happy with the final outcome..Trust Me, he builds great motors...
.Hope we can see it at Carisle next year...WW

Yep, I deal with that issue/problem. Pete, are you making it a 4 main?

Nope. This is a studded 2 bolt main, and will stay that way. Ed does not plan to make a ton of power, or spin it very high. I was likely way more abusive to this block than Ed will ever be, so he should be ok.

No need for me to worry about a "emissions" test here. Car is to old so they only go after the basics. Lights/horn works so it passes..
Pete you can post the specs if you want I don't really know them off hand.
I've put all my trust in Pete and know it will be a awesome build in the end. I use one of his convertors as well an its top notch!
Petes gotta get some stickers made cause in the end it will be a ride built by petek motorsports...
I want to get in on the dyno as soon as its all set to get some numbers but i've had issues with the dyno operators in my area. We have 2 here. One is Redline and I used to be able to get on there quite easily but now is a different story. Then there is another new one close by but he's had is own issues. So hopefully by the time this is done his will be ready.
