That Pro-Systems carb works very well. That's out the box. :love:

Re: UBER SS
 

I forgot to post pics of the installed radiator and cooling fans. Fits well and looks great.

Installed a new Stewart Stage II cooling pump this weekend.
Very well made and not that expensive as compared to others (Edelbrock :angryfire:).

Took a quick look inside and found a nice cast impeller instead of stamped steel.

Re: UBER SS
 

If you're having cooling issues, wonder if it might help to have a shroud for the rad/fan?

Looking badass though man!

Re: UBER SS
 

The radiator and fans fixed the heat soaking which occurred while driving at cruise/higher speeds. I'm seeing roughly 3400-3500rpm at 60-65mph.
Those are the Zirgo Ultra Performance ZFU14S fans. They pull almost 2800cfm each.

The pump was an original GM cast iron unit which is under driven a good bit and didn't pump enough at idle, causing heat creep sitting in traffic.

So the rad/fans fixed the cruise temps issue and the pump fixed the extended idle issue while shaving a few pounds off the front of the car.

Re: UBER SS
 

Such a clean engine bay, I like. Glad to hear the heat issues are resolved.

Re: UBER SS
 

Thanks. So far so good on the heating issues.

Re: UBER SS
 

Whoa, sexy.

I'm still for an LSx and a set of big hairdryers though.

Re: UBER SS
 

It was a hard decision not to go that route. My biggest concern was about adding weight to the front end (turbos, heavy manifolds, intercooler, piping, etc.). Right now I'm at 56/44 split to the front. Any more weight that shifts the balance to a heavier front end would only make it harder to hook up. I've seen several LS swaps into muscle cars and they just look out of place so I decided to stay BBC. Nothing sounds like big cubes with a big cam.

But, if I ever get the itch, there's enough nice parts in this one that dropping the compression ratio and a cam change could allow for some serious powa!

Imagine a 582 on boost!! :biggrin:

Re: UBER SS
 

Oh so pretty!

Re: UBER SS
 

So, I'm kind of an idiot with older stuff. What is it?

Re: UBER SS
 

Scott Shafiroff 582, Dart Big M 9.800 deck/4.600 bore block, Callies Dragon Slayer 4.375 crank, Manley 6.535 H-beam rods w/ARP2000 bolts, Mahle coated forged pistons 10.8 to 1 comp, Dart Pro 1 heads CNC combustion chambers at 114cc, 2.30 and 1.88 valves, Harlan Sharp rockers, Straub Technologies hydraulic roller custom ground to match head flow numbers, Morel roller lifters, Wilson Manifolds (Merlin X) intake, Stewart Stage II water pump, ATI balancer, Milodon pan, in the neighborhood of 850hp/700tq on 93 oct pump gas, plus 300 shot of nitrous (150+150 dual stage),.... OH MY!

Re: UBER SS
 

Great choice. Nothing can beat a bbc with a big old cam. Plus n/a motors are pretty reliable and constant. Throw some spray on it and shit gets real. That thing should be in the 9s on motor if you can set up right. Please post a video when you get it running.

Re: UBER SS
 

Hook at the line hard enough and you'll get all the weight on the rear tires. ;)

Re: UBER SS
 

That's what I'm hoping for. I'll post vids as they become available. :wink:

That must happen first,.......

4-link set-ups like a 55/45 split at minimum, so it's already a little nose heavy. Hoping those aluminum heads pull a little off the front weight, normally they would knock off about 70lbs, but that Dart block throws some back in the mix.

Thanks, it gets the job done. :lol:

Re: UBER SS
 

Wow, you weren't messing around ordering that motor. Geez, she should go real nice. 9's on pump gas!
