pauter small block - now even smaller. ;-)

just teasing myself with those devils hot rod autocraft 910 heads, those might be better in a way, but they need some repair etc... and i have the heads that came along with this engine...so.

lets be practical. (sort of) and use the best pieces that i have.

i think this would be a good point to stop the dismantle, the engine looks pretty good.

(from every angle) :-) lets see whats happening next. ;-)

OH and there might be happening something in the transmission side also @ Rancho.

the DRAG PRO tranny might be starting its way to finland also. :-)

more of that later...

christmas coming early? part 5 - digging deeper to the core.

ok, so far things are looking better...JE pistons, pauter rods, Pauter or moldex crank, everything looks clean & very nicely glued with some kind of cement... and now the engine turns easily...so it would be best to put it back in one piece... ;-)

christmas coming early? part 5 - deeper inspection.

1 head off!, ok, no pauter cylinders BUT autocrafts, looks like there is pauter steel rods, which is cool....and i´n not sure, but there might be a pauter crank, it sure looked tough, the valves are 48x40mm rockers are Gene berg...

christmas coming early? part 5 - the inspection.

I´m forced to tear the engine apart, just in case... and in the same time its good to check what was said and what was delivered...

Description: This motor is 86x94, comp e\'s, k800\'s , tappet cam, hybrid turbo, Holley 750, fan shroud, wet sump with custom 3 qt sump,pauter rods, 2.1 rod journals, wisecos, pauter barrels, very fast. Laid down a 6.02 @118 in the eighth. just freshened up with new rod bearings. Comes with tilton dual disc setup. made 480rwhp @ 28lbs on Paradise Chassis dyno..

1. wheres the wastegate? (frank told after i bought and payed the engine that the wastegate is not included...so thats why he used a saw to take it off :-( so no wastegate. )

2. wheres the PAUTER BARRELS? (these are autocraft barrels, and the pistons seems to be stuck) just freshened up with new rod bearings. (it should read...just freezed up)

3. whats next...what pistons, what rods, what cam...?

stay tuned...

christmas coming early? part 5

Hell yeah! i´ve got a 607 hp panel van now... (in theory) ;-)

525 hp in the trunk + 82 hp in the enginebay. ;-)

But seriously, i picked up the pauter small block (86x94) from the customs. and it looks great,

i allmost would like to take the panlevans engine out and put this in....but then the panelvan would be paralyzed, so im going to carefully dismantle the "sleeping terrorizer" and check out the status...so that it will not self destruct, when i want to drive it. ;-)

i would have a set of 101.6 Pistons and cylinders, as well some autocraft 910 heads for this...to get "more" of this combo, but lets take a look first whats inside... ;-)

stay tuned...

you´ve got my engine there ;-)

found this picture on the web...thats my engine there.

hope to see it live pretty soon. ;-) looks great!

my pauter machine is on its way!

yeeeha. my Pauter small block (86x94) started its trip to Finland today from Frank "the bank" Estradas yard to helsinki city. AND special thanks to ARSKA in california, who was willing to help me in this case...to ship it to Finland. This should make my GHIA a bit tougher in the competition... :-) well now its time to get the transmission from Rancho.

Is this great or what? the engine looks pretty clean to me. :-)

pro mods are cool.

maybe its the spring, or the endless hunger for a scaaary ride, but i need one. ;-)
