Sweet motor and its awesome to see him running a Q-jet.

The engine sounds good and is quite responsive! Great job

Is it a flat tappet cam or a roller?

I've always liked them too but it's a temporary thing for him. He'll be saving for a double pumper, and fuel

XR282HR (hydraulic roller), LS valves and springs (2.00 x 1.55) and Comp 1.6:1 roller rockers.

Thanks guys! He's pretty happy with the results so far.

Go Boy GO!

The new motor sounds great!

You gettin' anything done up there Johnny? The people demand updates! What's up on the truck? What's Knuckles been up to? Are you dodging all the riots, fires, mudslides, armed militants, etc? Git on the stick, son!

Thanks for checkin' Chip! Knuckles is still on the grind and has been the only one busy in my shop. Lifted the Swiss Cheeze and got his front driveline back in, built a 10.5:1 big block and just now has it installed in a square K20 for a pal. I'll take a vid of that thing, sounds killer! He picked up an '03 RM125 and I went through my ride at the end of the season. I've got some moolah to get started on my motor. Waiting for the king-salami to get back from vacation at Knuckle's shop, then I'm sending my heads in to start. Gotta finish the "plan" engine wise. I want to get a final cc on my chambers after they're built and then decide on pistons. Prolly going with a forged dome, then getting them machined down to a reasonable compression ratio. Boy has his eye on a forged 283 crank at work, thinks I oughtta build a 302! I don't think so...

Is that the same engine he built back in September?

[QUOTE=jlsanborn;7441087]Thanks man! How's the stepper?

Stepper is good, just waiting for summer. It has taken a back seat the last few years to my sons racing. Feel kinda bad for it..

[sduckworth13]

That motor sounds awesome, looks like alot of fun too.

[mcbassin]

Killer rip in the snow. That puppy sounds strong! Nice work John.

[Bomp]

Healthy with a deep throaty sound. Very Respectable.

[kehstr]

This is a cool truck! any updates?

[Low Elco]

Yeah! What he said!

[88Stanger]

what they said...

[jlsanborn]

Thanks for the bump fellas! I haven't given up. Life has had me distracted but I see the truck every single day and I'm still in love.
I sent those 52 year old heads in for the full-meal-deal and they're basically done. Have been for over a month or two. 7/16" screw in studs with guide plates, 2.02x1.60 swirl polished stainless valves (8mm LSX style), hard seats, full port and polish, unshrouded for the big valves. Trying to identify a beehive spring that will work with the cam I've picked out but draggin my feet.

Lunati Bootlegger
•Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 284/309
•Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 232/244
•Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .554"/.554"
•LSA/ICL: 108/104
•Valve Lash (Int/Exh): Hyd/Hyd
•RPM Range: 2800-6000

We'll be running a domed piston bout 11.0:1 CR

Sounds like a sweet motor. Lets see some pictures.

[jlsanborn]

Thanks for checking in! My heads are all done. Got some beehives from Lunati. Trying to squirrel a way a few more sheckles for pistons and rods now.

[Low Elco]

Dat's niiiiice. Knuckles still workin' there?

[jlsanborn]

Yup, he needs to bounce though. Working his tail off for not a lot of $$$ and their promise of training on machine tools has not come true. He's an expert at tear-down, hot tank and magnaflux. He did land a part time deal with one of their customers, ebay seller hpenginesuperstore, which might grow into something better for him.
