heres a few pics I took last week of some the hardware going in my 2056...motor should have been done today...but the 96pc are running late...

counterweighted crank

way cool man. you get the exhaust sorted yeT?

straight cuts

webcam is standard 86grind

ah memories...

yeah I am temporarily going to run a stock 1.7 muffler till I get more money then my builder will use the stock exhangers but will chop a bus header on the end with a collector and a supertrapp spark arrestor... only 150 bucks...will make good vacuum and wont be too loud

I like the straight cut gears. People don't talk much about them. Why did you decide to use them?

Paul

Jay...would you share your sources for your parts? I'm hoping to build a 2056 out of my 1.8 soon. I've been saving Raby's video for over a year and I'm finally close to being ready to start the project!

Paul

Are you running straight cut gears on a street car? Are they as noisy as people say? I know of a couple of Chevies that run them and you can hear them coming a block before they arrive; makes you think they're running a blower. Definitely not "stealth mode" for a streeter.

Yep noisy...at least the T1 ones are.

You either like em or totally hate em.

WATCH THOSE GEARS!

They are from MSHP's last run.....

I have seen 4 camshafts snap in half right in front of the cam thrust- gears are elliptical and have run out (some of them more than others)

They also make it more difficult to run a TI oil pump...

Mark

Would this make them even more noisy?

Hmmm...sounds like a new plan might be in order.

Who was MSHP?

Only for a second or two!

RUN FOREST RUN!!!!!!

rich denhauer should tell his mshp tale. you better be listening to these guys jay.

Maybe his "problems" were due to the altitude of his location; Tehachapi is over 4,000 feet up! Strange things happen in that town...like snow on the 4th of July!
