    My 427 blower motor project.

    I wonder how that'd work for an IAT. Voltage/ohms, etc... I'll do some checking.

    EGT sensors were added years ago.

    This is my 2004. My wife refuses to ride in it. Lol. The dog won't either. 😁

    My 427 blower motor project.

    Holley Dominator MSD Pro600 Im not switching to an OEM throttle body as I'd prolly need 5 of them to equal what the blower already has. The blower has a pair of throttle plates. Each is almost the size of a common smartphone. What I've done is purchase a couple 2015 era GM pickup throttle...

    My 427 blower motor project.

    With us, its automatic. If it dips below a predetermined level, it pulls timing and keeps it pulled. Fuel pressure is also managed this way. Modern engine management hardware and the programming makes it pretty easy to set a car up as non suicidal.

    My 427 blower motor project.

    They took a minute, lol. Fortunately, I have some friends who are very talented at this stuff. I made the flanges, then spent a week fetching tools and holding shit while he worked.

    My 427 blower motor project.

    A few moments where I depreciate the value of my neighborhood. Living amongst senior citizens has its advantages during times like this, as most are deaf as a post. The data log reveals some interesting stuff. Idle lands around 1050rpm once it warms up. A 0-100% throttle whack sends the...

    India vs Pakistan

    Ever listen to an Annie Jacobson interview regarding nukes? It's sobering. I grew up on SAC bases and my ol man worked on Minute Man silos as a facility manager in the 80s and 90s. I was so ignorant to the evil that exists in the holes I used to drive tractors by as a kid working on a farm in...

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    That only took two years...lol. Once all the mechanical things were handled, the fun started....(software, lol) Holley parrots much of its software off of GM LS based stuff. Reluctor wheel/Cam sensor latency was the bug we had to squash in order to get it to fire. The magnet triggered...

    I'm not exactly sure. Wife and kiddo handle the paint stuff as I am routinely reminded that I have no style or taste.

    Any reason you never see builds on Winchester Actions?

    Yes, the inletting work was performed here. The only thing we don't do here (when it comes to stock work) is make them. -Composites, anyway, wood is no problem. I have blank T5A stocks on the shelf. These are "out of the mold" blanks. We handle all the paint/finish work here. Just to be...

    Geometry question.... Angular movement

    Morning OP. Here's my attempt to answer your question. I made the drawing using a 26" barrel. It does not factor in a receiver length, nor a specific location of the sight(s) or optic. I used the muzzle as the datum to calculate the movement required to create a 1/4" POI deviation. .0018"...

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    Regarding the belt/idler setup, I've never seen anyone run one that way. They are always baby smooth. The "backside" of a blower drive is pretty dramatic. My guess is, it'd ruin the belt pretty quickly as they tend to flop around a lot. The belts don't get snugged up the way a serpentine does.

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    The pump on the left is for oil, and the one to the right is the fuel pump. I have a couple of Moroso crankcase vacuum pumps lying around and debated bolting one onto this thing. I don't because the oil pump should be more than adequate to evacuate the crankcase. I also made a pair of...

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    Progress made over the weekend. The dry sump is now fully installed, and the engine is primed. One small leak was caused by a fitting not being fully tightened. I call that a win, as this thing now has quite a bit of plumbing. We're seeing 55 lbs with the pump driven by a cordless drill using...
