Uncle-Pekka Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Super set up! Where did you get the goodies? (Then again, probably over my budget...) -sigh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony WestOZ Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 great looking setup there Andy. What sort of water pump have you got mounted on there. Look`s interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 The head I got from Earl Edgerton, the Offy intake from a guy in Utah, the Holden single barrel Stromberg carbies from a mate, the aircleaners from Johns Rod & Custom in Melbourne, the Beehive Filter from Diablo Motors in Sydney......the water pump is a 186 Holden pump that came with the 230, the guy I bought the engine from said it was out off an airport tug at Mascot Airport in Sydney, he was gunna throw the 230 in a boat but decided against it, he had a full machine shop and made the round alloy lump that bolts to the original holes, the Holden pump looks like it should work o/k but neither he nor me have had it going so am not sure yet.....lol.......once i can get the water tube out then I'll send the engine off for machining...I have 20thou over pistons/rings, the crank is standard but will need a linnish at least, maybe 10 thou grind.........also slated is a Waggott cam and full balance......bring on the Frods......lol....andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskies Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Looks great Andy... I think the water pump and it's adapter look really cool. (pardon the pun...) Looks like one-off race stuff... Is your block the later internal bypass type? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Pete, thanks, your engine's the inspiration, you could have saved me some printer cartridge money if you'd have your site available as a paperback or hardcover........lol.....as for the adapter its a neat piece and the Holden water pump is like a small block chev piece over here, very cheap and plentiful, once its all polished it should look good, as for a race part.........do you think I could tell people its an early nascar engine?..........lol.........yeh right was used as a marker post on the daytona beach!..........thanks, andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydodge Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Oops and its an internal bypass engine, so I have to drill the hole in the edgy head don't I?......btw I was able to get a Best brand gasket set that has a steel head gasket, no potential copper gasket/alloy head problems.......andyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a bulge on the front of the head over where the hole goes. You can see the bump in this pic, on the left end next to the center head bolt hole- Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel in Oz Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Looks great Andy. Especially the twin Stromberg carbies. Like to see how the 186 pump and adaptor goes when u get her going. Manuel in Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normspeed Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 The aluminum head and intake sure look good. Nice stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
