Dookie's 426 Rebuild

Out with the old:










In with the new:


















Any questions?

 

does it run?

 

^ :rofl:

 

Come on man.....I have been waiting forever to see this thing up and runing again!

 

you have NO IDEA how funny that question really is... lol

 

I missed something....Why are your pulling the old 426 out? What is wrong with it?

 

you should go out with the old and in with the new and get a new camera .. those pictures are shit

 

wtf???? when did the need come about to pull one and install a another????

and ron, why is the "is it running" comment so funny??? c'mon, spill the beans!!!

btw - kyle..... i am with anthony.... your camera sucks!!! lol

 

Maybe it's the camera, but the pistons don't look so shiney on the old one...

 

i knew i could count on you guys to give me shit about my camera/phone...photography isn't my strong suit.
Just fired it up...idles perfect, good oil pressure, no CEL...so far so good.

 

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!

Glad that that part came in today. lol

 

Just haven't said anything...wanted to wait till i was done. I pulled it because it wasn't what I wanted in my car. The short version of the story is when it was built, i had it built as is because i was out of money and time...it was a band-aid build at best (Thanks to Kelly Hammack, a fuckin turd). I knew it when i did it, now I'VE rebuilt it with my TLC, new block, bigger/better cam, balancer, mounts, new bolts though out...I personally put a wrench on every bolt and nut in and on the motor....I know it's right, and should be one hellofa N/A beast.

Yeah, no shit Ron...you talk about a tough weekend...knowing it was just sitting there waiting on a damn starter.

Since August 27th to be exact...Erik, I think i'll name my next born Hemi31...thanks bro for all your help...was very nice of you to take the time to lend an ear and give me some great advice...Couldn't have done it without you buddy. I'm forever in debt.

Anthony...fuck you, no reason, just fuck you.

 

ohhh!!! hahaha Kyle .. hope the things a beast man .. enjoy it!

 

Glad I could help Kyle......now,get your ass to Florida in Feb so we can see what it does on the track

 

Need more $$$ to track it...no shafts or DR's....I may go once over here just to MPH it.

Just took it out on the maiden voyage...did fine, never got RPM's up over 4000...I'm going to take it easy for a 100 miles or so...just wanna be sure no leaks and such...so far so good.

 

What cam did you get Kyle? You can PM me if you like.

 

Nah, i don't mind...224/235 .592/.581 115LSA installed on 112 ICL...I'm pulling 17" of vac on idle. Camshaft Innovations (Jay Allen) did the cam...dude is good, annoying to deal with, but knows his shit.

Excuse me for a while guys...i'm going for a nice long drive

 

friggin awesome buddy!!! glad to hear things are progessing in a nice, positive manner!!!

now, like erik said, bring your ass to florida in feb!!!

 

Florida in Feb...I might could swing that...where? My wife loves to go go go.

I put 50 miles on it tonight.

 

AWESOME BUDDY!!!! Fuggin rad dude. So happy for you Kyle. This is the beginning of a new journey for your sled. Truly badass man, happy for ya!!
