Plan is 383, je nitrous piston, compstar 6" rod, 3.75 compstar crank, lunati 60122 cam, stock heads for now. 12:1 compression, 300shot nitrous.
Here are the first pics of us taking it out, there basicly in order.

 

88 tracer motor random photo during tear down

 

When I pulled mine and looked at the harness laying there in the engine bay, I was thinking hmmmm ,that should be fun to hook back up later.

 

I labled many of the plugs, and most of them should be easy to put back in place. Will see though, waiting on engine builder to call.

 

Don't use fram oil filters.

 

99% of the plugs are different so it's not as bad as you might think. Any plugs that are identical are likely going to be in completely different areas of the car.

 

I was going to post this as well...lucky your engine lived as long as it did

 

nice to see somebody pullin it out the top

 

That's how I did mine as well

 

also, why only a 503 in a 383? thats going to be a REALLY tame setup

 

Yup, im going to wix.
Im not sure if I should go with cc503 or not, ima ask my engine builder.
I did not think out the top was that bad.

 

yeah

for a cam, i would look into like the lunati 1022

I take a look at it, im going to drive it on the street, but its a toy so basicly a strip car lol.

 

When you say stock heads you mean as cast or ported??

I understand doing a shortblock as a repair and not being able to afford head work but just wanted to tell you a 300shot and as cast heads is not going to work.

I have seen a car gain nothing from a 175 to 200 shot because the heads could not flow enough to let it work well. Start spraying big shots without suporting flow and it displaces a huge amount of the NA flow and chokes up on the exhaust side and you stop gaining much if anything even though you put in bigger jets.

 

You have a valid point (or it makes sence to me anyway), nitrous is not going on yet, the heads will most likely be stock cast for now. Anyone want a dented fram oil filter has 89 miles on it lol jk.
