After a long winters nap this 348 Challenge car is getting some such needed attention in my shop. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I like the organ and tissue donation graphic on the right rear. I would personally consider that tempting fate on a track car, but to each his own.
It’s my engine rebuild shop with a Superflow 902s engine dyno. I have a smaller shop in Austin, Texas for normal maintenance. The 348 motor will be torn down and rebuilt. I’m building a dry sump system for the dyno cell. We are starting a 512bbi also
Discovered something interesting today. With the motor at PM1/4 the marks from the last belt service don’t line up. Obviously the belt has stretched. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
On the RHS head (second pic), the blue marks on the sprockets (the cams relative to each other) cannot be so much out due to the belt stretch because it would be the stretch of the short section of the belt between the two sprockets that would affect these marks. I don't think the short belt section could stretch so much. Furthermore, the belt stretch would have caused the blue marks to get out of alignment in the way opposite to what the picture shows. Perhaps the marks are from the belt change before the last change and either not followed or "missfollowed", looks like by one tooth.
