Sean ups the pot to 570.00!! Thanks Sean, we can always count on you to support the mk3. We are going to have 7m's coming out of the wood work here soon for texas!

When I was a kid, milk came in 1 gallon cardboard boxes, Leaded Gas was 48-55 cents per gallon, they still dumped used motor oil on the dirt road to keep the dust down, When you made a long distance call an operator always had to connect it. Most all tires where bias ply. GI joes were 2 feet...

I would prob be dumb enough to do that by hand too. Two piece 6061 billet blocks coming soon!

Thank you for your kind words Gary. It is always a great to hear from you. I have started on your cylinder head today. I went through the 4 or 5 heads I have to find a nice one to work with.

Adjuster - Gary's motor is a dry sump and this was made to fit his motor and sump pan as he has it now. Remeber, the taller the cap, the less ridgid. The next move is a soild piece. The caps and girdle as one soild mass cut from one giant piece of 4340. Then some day I will talk him into a...

Sorry, thats just an old term for a dry sump system. Since the oil pump is now on the outside of the block, to one side or the other, driven by a belt, we call it a "side oiler"

New Money added Suprafantx - 50.00 Peter Blach - 100.00 Both from SF are contributing $$, This is goingto be a nice size pot by the time the event comes. Total is up to 470.00 now.

IJ - I stressed a side oiler, but it was not recieved very well. But remember, this is only a intermitent use 1k hp. Not sustained. A billet crank cost me 3200.00 dollars to make, but your right, it is still out of budget for most of the 7m crowd.

It is just the first letters in the last names of the founders. Nothing more, nothing less. Thanks again everyone for the work so far.

IJ please feel free to expand. IJ your motor is built beyond Gary's spec. It is almost funny how little Gary has done to a 7m to get the work out of it that he has. Your block plus a gt4202 and fuel will do a 1000hp. but like you said. Why? Other than to prove a point, or to class race, it...

At the HP levels I spec for this build, crank deflection comes into play. Billet main caps in place of a girdle will help in keeping the crank from flexing. May or may not be needed, but if it was my motor, I would use the billet caps. You will see wear on the bottom of bearing 5, and the top of...

Read the first post again. I does not say that this is the required build. I was asked to sec a 1000hp intermitent use build. So I posted how I would do it of course. Spec your own build if you don't like how I wrote it up.

No, SIP does not stand for Summit import performance. everyone is loking good so far. The new banner will be used on my web site when I finish it.

She is sitting on the back burner for right now. At least untill I scratch up some more parts and money. I am waiting on a turbo that was being donated. i beleive in another few weeks when the snow flies up here, that a bunch of progress will get done. I have not abandoned this idea, just takes...

These are two I had sent to me by another member.

Most any metal treatment facility does nitriding, or you can send the crank to me. I think Tony is on a gm auto now. An 11 mm cam "can" be interference depending on the dome of the piston or if the seats where raised or not during the head work. Each application of a large cam is different. A...

A fellow member ask me to do a write up on a 1000 hp 7mgte build and to post it here so that he may get thoughts on the subject from other members who are deep into the pockets of a 7m build. Fee free to post away about the pit falls of a 4 digit hp motor. Keep in mind that this will be an...

Being certified is means nothing. When you are certified, it means you are certified for a specific spec. There are thosands of specs, each one you need certified for. Being certified just means that you passed a test for a certain application of welding. Say, over head 6031 rosin rod arc on low...

Whoa! let me get my pop corn!

I have one really good entry already from a member. I really did not think anyone would be interested at first.
