Customer dropped his car and we are starting on his E-Force project.
First step will be stock baseline – from there the basic steps..
1) Remove Engine
2) Forged Pistons (-8 cc)
3) ARP Rod Bolts
4) Plate Hone
5) Deck
6) Line Hone
7) Balance and reassemble SB
8) SS Valves
9) Comp Valve Job
10) Dual Springs
11) ARP Studs
12) Assemble long block
13) Install back in Z
14) Install E-Force
We will post as it goes along. The results will be interesting as we can push the boost without fear of crumpling the cast pistons.

Sub'd, but curious if he thought about using the whipple that is about to come out instead? E-force is a roots right would you recommend a TS instead? How much boost are ya'll planning on? Can't wait to see the progress for this...

It is hard to argue against the Whipple (we just finished one on a Camaro) but as you know, each forced induction platform has it's pro's and con's - and for this customer, the E-Force hit the target.

He wanted to maintain the stock hood so the Whipple or Maggie was out.

It's a 2900 and on a RHS 427 we built - the numbers are insane...I'll post up on it when I'm all done

I have a 50mm cogged belt drive in the rear running a 1.2:1 overdrive, a 10 rib 2.9" mainshaft pulley up front with a 8.25" balancer for the main drive.

Nice, Tom. You should have no issues wth slipping. We used a cog drive on Mike's Maggie and an 8-rib up front. Ran just over 16 lbs and didn't experience slip.
The Whipple ended up with a 10-rib (you can see some of the 10 rib pieces in the pics)

Looks very nice, I wish they had something way back when I started on this endeavor over a year ago. Here is a picture of my car, I just got the drivetrain back into the car this morning.
