Don't feel alone on the carb man

Mine was the same way when I first got it running, & I tried 2 different carbs !!!
I finally got the first one to run, but not right so I went to carb #2 & thats whats on there now
But I have to figure out whats wrong with #1 so I can put #2 back on the truck it came off of

But I agree, if I had the money I'd just buy a new one

[Spray-Bomb]

Oh, check my build
I just updated it

[Bob 68327]

Well I got it to stop belching fire balls !!!!! Now to just keep tweaking to make it work right!!!!! I won't give up !!! Burnouts before the snow flies !!!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Yay, I wish I were closer
I'd come over and lose my eyebrows with ya !!!

[Bob 68327]

I wish you were closer too then I would have someone to share the frustration with or to witness me setting the POS on fire!!!!!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

yep !

[Spray-Bomb]

Ok dude, put your neighbors dog up for pawn & get a new carb already

[Bob 68327]

I would love to get rid of the neighbor's dog and the neighbor !!! But the two of them wouldn't be worth a pinch of SH**!!!! Been sidetracked this weekend working on the house !! I have the whole side torn off and they're talking rain here !! This week hopefully I will git it sorted out !! I'm not giving up just a little short on time . I'm one to take my time so I don't screw something up !! I've spent 4 years and approx. $5000 on this motor and trans so a couple more weeks won't kill me !!!! I will do a burnout soon!!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Yay !!!

Yeah, they're talk'n rain here too & I don't need it

[Spray-Bomb]

Bob, I'm going

This shall be your punishment

I need some vids now !!!

[Bob 68327]

I drove 160 miles today and worked 12 hrs. I haven't had time to play !!! Need a rain day!!!!! I know quit whining and get it fixed !!! At least it moves under it's own power !!! Just not quite right yet!!! I put it in the totm be nice to get at least one vote

[Spray-Bomb]

Dude, there's something wrong with your mouth all I'm getting is

[Spray-Bomb]

Man, you may need to take over the project title "One really slow build thread"

[Bob 68327]

YUP!!!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

[Spray-Bomb]

Hey man, I just got done looking at the TOTM

Whats the deal with a bunch of peeps that entered didn't get on the pole & I was one of em !!!

Piss's me off !!!! but I voted for you... which is next best

[basketcase]

That's a great looking engine. I like the all business look and there's nothing like a short stroke small block. I'm collecting parts for my next one now. It will be a 306 made from a 4 bolt 350 that I have and a 283 crank using thick bearings designed to put a small journal crank in a large journal block. You can use 350 pistons for a 6.0 rod on a 5.7 rod and deck it to .020 deck height. It's a lot cheaper than buying 302 pistons. The heads will be AFR 180s. and this will go in my '59 Vette. Should be a screamer.

Here's the one I'm just finishing up for the '69 Stepside. It's a milder build than yours with .030 over flat top KBs and ported 194 heads. It uses a mild hyd Crane cam that should have a little lope. I had the carb rebuilt and set up on a running engine so it would be sure to fire right up and run. I worry a lot about that when running in a new flat tappet cam.

I put in the Mallory distriburor and wires since the picture but still have some things to do before I light the fire.

Engine builds are what we need more of around here. Anyone can write a check for a crate motor.

Sounds sweet

What kind of HP do you think your 306 will pump out & what RPM's do you think it'll turn ??? Odd ball engines have been on my mind lately

[Bob 68327]

Spray Bomb I don't know what the deal was with totm , but thanks for the vote I think I managed to get 3 so far hard to compete with money and shiney trucks !!!!! I would have voted for you if they hadn't booted you out???

[Bob 68327]

And Thanks!!

Get them brakes fixed bro, weak brakes don't belong on a truck with a mean meece !!!

[Bob 68327]

Yup!! I 'm pretty sure I need a master cylinder and I'm having trouble finding a good new one maybe need to look at used ? I don't think they make parts near as good as they used to !!! I hope I can get burnout pics at least before snow , but I won't do nothing stupid like try to run it hard with so so brakes !!! I may take a little vid of it running and driving so you all can see and hear it . It sounds really *****in' I will take some update pics of it outside this weekend . Later ,Bob

Since it is going into a light car I have a solid lifter cam I have been saving for just such an engine. It has a fair amount of overlap so I can bump the compression up to 10.5:1 or maybe even 11 with the aluminum heads and the heart shaped chambers. I don't have everything finalized but the combo is looking to have an RPM range of 3000 to 6500-7000 with the hp peak around 6000-6300. It would not be a good choice for one of our trucks but the '59 weighs around 2800. It should have around 450 hp or maybe even more. It's hard to say. I don't expect the torque numbers to be anything great with a 3" stroke but I want a high winding screamer in the Vette.

[Spray-Bomb]

Sounds fun !!!

Update ???
