Gmkillr's Mexican 347 build

[TJH64]

That build really turned out nice, Rob FWIW, I used the .875 spacer with the Pro Products SFI damper on my build, so you should be good to go with that spacer.

Currently run a 28 x 12.5 x 15 M/T. E.T. Street but might switch to a M.T. Drag Radial 325-50-15 via Dave Z. reccomendation.

The DRs are nice, but looking back at my car and the power-level with the stick, the bias-ply ETs would be easier to consistently launch and possibly easier on parts.
Even the MT reps were telling me to forget the DRs for our power and a stick .
Got a friend here with a like new set of of 28x13.5x15 MT ET Streets for only $150 if anyone is interested.
I really wanted them for testing, but with an auto swap, I'm sticking to DRs.
PM replied too.

my thinking is you will need to take some gear out of it

[wick]

Nice, I like that idea.
If you don't have the trans yet, I'll be posting an ad for my MMR/Pro Motion prepped TKO600 this week.
PM me if interested.

Hey J, before you post the ad, pm me. Please...

Yes, ill still be sportin the G-force tranny & rowing the gears via my right arm.....lol


Exhaust is all done! Big thanks goes out to Wick (Rob) for bringin his welder down to my place & weldin the whole Dr. Gas X-pipe & Dynomax Race Bullets up for me! Thanks again bud!

Timing is set, wiring is done, & I fixed a few small oil leaks so now all im waiting for is a new crank pulley spacer from Summit.

Welcome Robert. Nice seeing the family again too.

.55's?

[yeahloh95]

i dont think .23 will be required maybe .73

Combo could benefit from an adjustable torque limiter, although look at what
R/S is doing with a "non" adjustable torque limiter.

[yeahloh95]

too much adj can be a bad thing

Car sounds very good now with the Dr. Gas stuff on. I will try to make a new video tommorow after I change the oil out.

i dont think .23 will be required maybe .73

4.10's w/ a 28" tire is good to 142mph and 7000rpm
My junk is good to 7000rpm so I should be good as I doubt ill trap more than 142mph in the 1/4 mile.....
At the very most I would have to switch to 3.90's
Not sure what calculators you guys are using.......

Couple pics I snapped today......

Rob - nice job man - that is one mean sounding motor! Can't wait to see you run it at the track! What a great feeling to hear it run for the first time!

[Slow01GT]

Looks good Rob. I bet it sounds nasty too.

[mr4teth]

Nice man ... I love the look of Trick Flow stuff! Please post some vids when you get it all back together!

[gmkillr]

I finally got in the crank pulley spacer I was waiting on from Summit so now I can move ahead with this. Christmas shopping for the kiddies this weekend will put a damper on any car progress im sure...... Im on vacation for 11 days coming up for Christmas though so I should button her all up then.

[AdamantiumSilvr]

The engine looks reall tight! Good luck on Pink All Out too!!
