The Smurfinator's engine build has begun
- Thread starter 1320 Junkie
- Start date
Long block is ready for final assembly...this is the part im really going to enjoy because im learning and getting to be hands on with cam degreeing from my pal Jim Larocca who has been instrumental in this winters build. Along with Him..my best friend and calibrator Bill miller and Donny Wood my engine builder...this car is definately going to be a hell of alot of fun this year and those 3 have all made massive contributions to my car.

Lets hope theres time to get a cage put in lol. MG isnt as tech friendly as MIR lol.
Looks like all the good stuff.....nice build....you'll find tracks aren't quite as friendly when you start ripping of 160++ mph passes...lol....
I can't wait to see this beast running!!!
Basic long block is home and awaiting finally assembly. Took a few pics of the Fox lake cnc heads (pure sex) and the double keyed crank...gotta dig the balancer out of its box which is also double keyed. Ill keep updating as we go along.

Whipple 4.5 inlet is now done....my turn now to finish her off.
Nice man! Looks like things are coming along! What kind of numbers are you expecting from this setup?
Should easily exceed 1200 rwhp...this is the first 4.5 whipple i know of thats been modded inlet wise for street duty. I found out lastnight Tasca had done something similar but more radical that it would never fit without cutting the bulkhead....so as far as i know there isnt another one out there to compare to. Theres also alot more to this combo that im not allowed to speak about or show so its anyones guess what its going to make...but i promise this is a MAX effort build...not just a rod and piston swap like my first go around.

I see it.;-)
What crank are you using again? I had to have mine double keyed and cost me $400 which is more than buying a new CJ crank
Stock crank with some modding to it. Double key was $200
I see, will the crank be that much stronger than stock with the mods? S.Erickson found cracks in his and ended up getting a Bryant.
Yup it will be much much much stronger....CJ guys are running 7's with the process we did to mine.
Roger that , I know John at Accufab is going 6's with stock 4.6 crank and block.
Whipple 4.5 Crusher inlet is just about done. Just a slight difference..lol.
One step closer...still waiting on my cam gear kit...hopefully it wont be long now. Bullet Custom Cams spec'd by Jim Larocca.
Glad I'm not a Smurf :bash:

Did you happen to measure the lobe runout on those cams? I'm curious how the quality of Bullet cams is.
