Not a jeep...

[SC Rednek]

...but still a dirt racer! '75 Camaro, hope to have it on the track here in town for next year's season starting in March, street stock class. Lot of work to do!

As I bought it from out behind somebody's shop, $600

I think I'm going to keep the dirty devil name, might go with number 66 on the side (has to be 2 digit).

And the puppy's ready to go already!

The owner of the only bar in town said he'll sponsor me, (who I happen to know fairly well due to being a frequent customer), and one band and one restaurant as maybe sponsors. It'd be nice if I had enough to pay for parts, gas, and entry fee, all I'd have to do is the labor and driving!

I do build Chevy's too.



Looks like a fun project for a cost-conscious racer.

 

[SC Rednek]

I'm hoping to be on the track for well under $4,000

 

[Russ Pottenger]

Not bad, you'd spend more for dessert at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser.

 

[SC Rednek]

no, I'd spend nothing at all at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser

no, I'd spend nothing at all at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser

Why would you even be there?

 

[SC Rednek]

Exactly

 

[SC Rednek]

Russ, the class rules say no more than 180 psi at a compression test, how should I set up this engine to achieve that?

Amen brotha.

Comp, Crane and others sell "Saturday night special" cams for exactly the spec engine your
building.

When your ready to do it shoot me a PM and I'll help ya out.

Bribe the tech. inspector, obviously.

... Or you can do what the Sprint Car Guy's do.
Have 7 high compression cylinders, and just one cylinder that you know they'll ck.

How would you go about setting one cylinder to 180psi and having 7 that were higher?

 

[SC Rednek]

Dished piston in only that cylinder?

 

[Russ Pottenger]

Running 7 pistons with big lumps on them.

 

[SC Rednek]

Got a few more specs - My heads are casting# 10110810, with 1.94/1.5 valves, I believe they're 65cc chambers.

The block is a 4-bolt main, bored .40 over.

The pistons are marked 423NP, this appears to be them but mine are stamped .040, same design though. I can change to a different design if neccesary.

I'm looking at this camshaft . Class rules are .480 lift at valve maximum

My biggest question is how much should I lower the deck height, if at all, to get that 180psi max?

 

[KRAKER]

0.936 should be right on.

 

[SC Rednek]

.936 what? huh?
