"Lil Alky", the epic build thread



Went to check on my heads yesterday and valves shipped on Monday so I doubt I'll have the heads by this Friday. Talked to Bob about any discounts for you guys and he said he was open to sudgestions on any of his services you'all might be interested in a GB. I am going to have him open up my injectors for E85. His injector service is great, he can open up your existing injectors for way less than new injectors and he flow tests them before and after and equalize the flow. I've seen big differences in the flow rates of even new injectors.

I'm gonna need a fuel pump, who's has the best value reliable pump that will be adequite?
 
Thanks Matt! Would that be the TRE 341? That's the only Pontiac application I saw (and a Bonne at that).

And they seem to be a great deal, I guess Billboost has experience with these?

Still waiting on my supercharger but I'm an ol' man :th_toothless: so I'm taking my time and being meticulous with my assy ( gosh, 85 deg here today and I was'nt even planning on bringing the GTO home till April, really need to get this done!). I need to clean out the engine bay and paint the motor (Pontiac Metalic Blue lol). Not a show car but I want it clean for sure under the hood. I put a new waterpump on it and I'm thinking I'll do a new starter and maybe an A/C compressor so I can have air again (it is a daily lol)Brian is going to put a tune on it when it's complete and I should have some dyno #'s eventually and maybe a track pass this year too!

Any guesses on #'s?

Anything I've forgotten to address?

Thanks again for everyones help and suggestions! :th_peaceout:
 
Rods machined?

TRE pump should be fine.

Interesting you ended up with near stock valve sizes.

Did you check clearance on the roller?
 
Yes rods reconned.
Pump should be here by this weekend.
The biggest thing about the valves to me is the shape, esp the ex, much better than stock.
Installed the cam 2 deg adv and plenty of clearance.
 
Boo, double roller.

Everything about this build is great but that ****ty worthless chain that isn't needed on a small cam.
