Come on Joey, use your head!!!


Don't you have a spare BBC lying around that would love to be put into service? Just Do It!!

Thanks Roby,

I have considered many things. This motor started out as a braket motor, and an awesome one at that. 6.50's/10.50s in a 3100# street/bracket car. Fun to drive street or track (best of a 1.41 60ft time on a 30/13.5 DOT w/o N2O) It is deadly consistant and somewhat low maintance. It's no stranger to nitrous either. I love to "Hose it down" after a bracket race on a time run. Then came this 6.0 "street car" index class at our local tracks. Really fun class with races only once a month. The two biggest kickers are, a maximum of a 28.5/12.5 DOT tire, and no throttle stops. That's where the nitrous comes in. I have 2 Top Gun plates, leave on one, then about 100 ft out, it turns off and the second one comes on, which is jetted higher. So basicly, I took what I had and stepped on it a bit to run this class. With the next points race next Fri, I just want to get it back together and I hink this is the quickest way. I think the wp failure is what caused the cracks, or most of them anyway. I do have my sights set on better things, but lack the time to get it in place.

NO, NO, NO, NO, dammit.....NO! That thing aready has a new home, it just has to get there. Knowing me, I'll get to the track and "See what this baby is made of" and hurt it.

IF THE SLEEVE IS INTALLED .250 FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE NOTCH THERE IS NO WAY THERE WILL BE A CLEARANCE ISSUE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THE SLEEVE WILL HAVE A REGISTER TO SIT ON ALL THE WAY AROUND AND NOT PARTIALLY BROKEN THROUGH AT THE BOTTOM THIS A BLOCK THAT WE COMMONLY WORK ON FOR OUR SPRINT CAR CUSTOMERS AND IT IS A JOB WE PERFORM REGULARLY IM CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM OF CLEARANCE BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IF YOUR GOING TO SPRAY 300 TO IT IM ALSO NOT SURE THATS THE RIGHT BLOCK TO TRY TO USE.

Yes, I know. Are we having fun yet?



Thanks for your offer eariler for the machine work, but I'm not sure if I could have gotten it back soon enough.

If I may ask and again I'm not an expert on sleeving; What is the bore reduced to after sleeving a 4.126" 400-SBC? Also does it require special head gaskets?
