New v6
« on: November 14, 2012, 09:48:00 PM »
I decided on the long weekend to put together my spare v6 which I meant to to back in the spring for the Jalopy to replace its beat v6. his thing is pretty well built. I used some sort of good cam for low end torque, comp cams double roller timing chain, comp cams lifters, edelbrock 4 bbl intake, holley truck avenger 470 cfm carb, 30 over pistons, delco 12 si alternator, HEI and unknown headers. I've been driving it around and it is awesome. I can put it in 3rd gear of the T18 low range and idle it down to a crawl and take back off with ease.

No girlfriend and I'm still in school.  ;)

It certainly looks happy with its new engine.

After you rearranged your photo bucket, it broke all the links :'(

No pics here.  (saw you already reposted the 'I can remove the rear coil' pics in the other thread)

Not too bad if you keep it under 2000 RPM where it makes all its power. Certainly has some giddy-up and go though!

Funny thing about this engine, I had gotten a new cam from the guy I got the block from. He got it years ago and couldn't remember where he got it from. Anyways, this unknown cam is real torquey.

Nice Jeep. I like the front suspension... got more photos?

Offenhauser offers a 225 Dual Port Intake Manifold that is supposed to provide a great low end and midrange.

I am noodling the idea of building a 225 and bolting up an SM 420.
