The block was dropped off at the engine shop and should be back from the hot tanking/magnafluxing process next week. If it checks out the next step is to get it machined as required and bored to .030”over in the cylinders.
The owner of the shop has a forged steel 283 crank that I will likely buy and replace my cast one with. He also has a set of very low hour small journal eagle forged rods that I will use. Cam is still up in the air as is piston choice. Either a replacement cast 30 over stock set or a more exotic custom cnc’d hyperuetectic set that uses modern thin rings like in the LS motors. Leaning toward the more exotic ones but I will have to see just how exotic the total bill will be. |

I talked to the engine builder today - my block is back, clean and passed the magnafluxing. Time to get serious with my build decisions with regards to compression and cam choice.

Ok - slightly different route....
I found a really good deal on another 283 - already bored .040 over, new pistons, rods and a forged 3” crank. The cam in it was not what I want but otherwise a ready to go short block.  |

Im loving the budget approach to this build. Tried and true methods and parts can yield good deals!...
Has anyone used the Small Block Ford (like a 289 or 302) in these? Curious what trans options are for that motor. Sorry for the derail, just thinking out loud while watching the thread |

wow... easy to change the belt though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
QUOTE(1970-1914 @ Dec 27 2018, 09:51 AM) So as the " low-buck v8 outlaw" thread title says suggests... this car is being built on a very low budget and will be a V8. If you have read much before this post most of what is going to happen with this build has been detailed.... so what does this low budget look like and how am I doing? My goal is to be all built and painted with +/- 250hp for around $5500-$6000. This is only vaguely possible because the shell purchase was such a ridiculously good deal and I will be doing the remaining fab work, bodywork, paint and assembly myself. Quite honestly that is all the fun stuff for me anyway so looking forward to all that. Starting with a shell that was media blasted, all rust work done, chassis reinforcements welded in, epoxy primed and the complete underneath painted is a really really big head start in time and money. Costs so far: Shell and parts purchased for $1800 Parts sold off: Riviera wheels - $200 Stock 1.7 - $700 Misc efi parts - $200 Fender lip cut offs - $100 Stock steering wheel - $250 Total cost for shell: $350 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Parts bought: Chrome cookie cutter rims - $500 then decided 6" wide was too skinny for the front and re-sold for $700. Bought second painted black set with tires for $250 so current wheels in total were $50. VB adapter, flywheel, pressure plate and disc - $130 Power pack heads - $50 Intake and HEI distributor - $30 283 Shortblock - $200 2 new 914rubber bumper tops black Friday deal - $470 Front and rear stock used valences - $100 Dash frame and gauges (missing when i bought the shell) - $150 Heater control - $50 Wiper motor and arms - $30 Momo wheel and Luisi early adapter - $150 5 bolt rear conversion (new discs, redrilled early hubs, new wheel bearings and 20mm spacers) $350 Front 5 bolt adapters - for now - $90 Flared FG rockers - $250 All in cost so far: $2094 So right now I have a mostly complete rust free V8 914 for $2100 which I think is a pretty great place to be at this point in the build. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) ... Target total cost: $5650 Target cost is about what Id like to have into mine... when it finally happens. Looks like you're doing well so far |
