496 BBC Tunnel Ram

[Goodwin48]

So got a part time gig at Larry Peto's shop while I finish up college and graduate this semester sweeping floors to building motors. Kind of just the grunt, soaking up whatever I can from the legend himself. Was going to go drag boat racing and started building an engine for it and the plans changed to finding or building a river cruiser v drive deal. It's a gen 4 block, bored .060 over, lunati rods, SRP pistons, brodix dragon slayer heads, used solid roller cam that Larry had sitting around. a old school mechanical fuel injected edelbrock victor 2-R tunnel ram converted to run twin 750s. Vertex mag that was worked over by the guys at Joe Hunt. going on the dyno within the next few weeks. Everything but the heads and valve train, and piston and rod combo is used from either trading or hunting down the parts. This has been passion project over the last year and I have learned a bunch!

Im doing something very similar with my Hallet engine. Its being put together nearly entirely out of used second hand parts. Its also a dual quad tunnel ram bbc. looks like you got access to some better 2nd hand parts than I did tho

Well it does help when you have access to old race parts just sitting on the shelf it’s escalated like any other project has. Was originally going to be a nice pump gas motor and the well since we’re here might as well came in ALOT haha. I’ll run it with the tunnel ram and then drop the compression and throw a 8-71 on it

Right?! Talked to him awhile back. College has me broke at the moment. No $$$ for that at the moment. I’m a damn good detailer. Maybe we can work out a trade

you'd be surprised what kinda deals can be worked out with some talking and a handshake. Would love to see that boat back on the water.

I wish I could make one bud. The cash for this sale will go directly to a fiberglass guy to lay up a new GN
