Hi from the US

Post by TanZuk » Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:57 pm

Hi Everyone,

I live in Pompano Beach, Florida in the US.

This is my Bucket List Build that I thought I would share with you.

It is a bit over the top and probably very impracticle to some so I hope you like it.

I will start off with the before and in progress pics because it is still being built.


Before completely stock from California

Still in the build process.

Got the front suspension together enough to finally roll it outside. Moved the DD over to show the size difference from 31’s and a 6” lift to the 38”s not sure how much lift.

Here is the motor. I have a machine shop and machined a lot of the parts for the motor.

Here is the Before Pic

After

Here is a link to hear it run

:rockin: http://www.skyscomputers.com/pictures/f ... 0Motor.wmv :rockin:



Motor: 1.3 .020 over and deck shaved,


I used dish pistons because of the decking,

1.6 Reynolds ported polished and larger valves and shaved head.

Adjustable timing gear was used because of the shaving of the head and block.

I also had to make a custom timing adjuster wheel. It was too small in diameter and was unable to get the timing belt tight.

Internals are balanced and flywheel,

I'm going to use a Centerforce clutch this time.

The intake was made from a solid block of 6061. It started at 35 pounds when the machining was done it was 8 pounds. I also decided to machine the water ports in the manifold.

The carbs are 32mm Katana GSX-F.

The external accessories on the motor I have also machined up.

The distributor has been switched to mechanical.
