Here is the first video. Got it finished at started last night, then did the check list today and put the rest back on. Calling tomorrow to get the tune set-up. Car runs and drives fine (thanks to the last tune), just rich.
Forged 383
238/240 112 .610 Comp Cam
Ported Heads
Ported FAST 90
90mm T/B
Kooks, no mufflers
is this your DD? would you say its too loud? Get any loud exhaust tickets with the cops? Im just wondering if I should !mufflers with the install of headers
You're like 10-11% more displacement with a TB to handle the increased flow. You're exhaling better with the Kooks. And, you're breathing easier with the ported heads plus the cam is giving you more flow.
I'm guessing somewhere in the vicinity of 500 chp (410-430 rwhp)? Is that too conservative? ... too liberal?

I didnt get anything accomplished last night. Spent the night with the family. After 3 days in a garage, dinner and little fam time was needed to recharge the batteries. I am going to hitting it tonight. Ugh, I can't believe I have to pull this damn thing apart again.
Probably the bottom if you have a lift but both times I've had my engine out have been through the top. Both times I had pulled the trans before I pulled the engine but I installed them as one.
Well I figured it was about time for a little update.
1. Pull engine from the top. Just remove the front fascia. It is really easy. It is also a ton better with the trans off the car. Use the trans bolts in the heads to hook the chains too. Took me about 8 hours total to pull the engine. That was me by myself.
2. Nothing wrong in the bottom end. Looks like it sucked up a valve. The stem was in the intake, and it broke at the keeper. There is also a perfect circle on the piston.
Sooooooo I will have all new valves, a new piston and a rod bearing for insurance.
Engine builder has it right now, and parts should have came in today.
I also am closing on this house May 7th and moving into the new one on the same day. So needless to say I wont be doing a damn thing till after that.
She should be alive by the middle of May and be tuned right after that. I am ready to have her back. 24 hours / 5o miles was just a damn tease, and the wife's Edge just doesnt have the giddy up that I crave.
Hopefully, the next post will be that its back together.
