No, not a GM 5.7L, but a stroked Ford 347
My ole' 302 started blowing a good amount of smoke, so I decided to make the jump up and bought a 347 shortblock out at world ford challenge a few weeks back.
Until I can aford a set of Victor Jr's, I'll be using my current heads and intake.
Heads are GT40P's that have been given a fairly heavy port job. They outflow GT40X's by 5-10CFM across the board on intake and exhaust. Intake is an Explorer that has been treated with a pretty hefty port job as well (no flow numbers). And the cam is an Anderson Ford Motorsport N4, Specs with my 1.7rockers are:
.544/.544 lift, 222/232 @0.050"
Goal with this setup is to go 11's NA, and I think that should be pretty easily attained. The nitrous will sit in the garage until I can afford a Tremec, cause I don't think a 100,000+mile T-5 will want to hold up to 10second passes for very long
Anyway, heres some pictures I've taken in the process. It will be running next weekend.
Still not a great looking engine bay, but its about 20times better than before. Did some cleaning, painting, and a little re-routing just so I don't cringe as much everytime I pop the hood.
I can't wait to drive this thing now, I pitty the foo who pulls up in a LS1
