Put the inner springs in after camshaft run in.  OGUN has had a bit of an update in the  ignition department and a 1 gauge and o2 sensor and gauge. 
 
Couldn't get on the dyno for a bit so put a base line tune into it and gave it a quick test hit to monitor systems and see if any issues arose. Happy to report all went well, although the shifter needs a position indicator. Thank god for rev limiters and isky valve springs.  
 
Enjoy the vid.  Dyno soon. 

Yeah it's pretty lively and somewhat loud in person. 
 
Nah chestnut. It belongs to a good customer of mine.  He is a big Ford man and this is his dig at the chev boys. Ford motor in a chev.

Yeah. Keen to finish it off and head to the dyno. I don't care if the panels aren't on it. I just want to see what it makes. Lol.

So I thought I might start a topic on OGUN the clevo. Probably a little out of order but here he is being born. Hope you enjoy.  
 
 

is that for the next mad max film

Tonys Metal and Speed. There is some cool clevo in chev rat rod in there to distract you. Enjoy. 

Mark at Aussiespeed imported one late last year and has started making products for them.

You would need a 3.9 bore to even get close to the 285 cubes used to win the aspo 6 title at this years nats. 
 
The pure expense of this bottom end is beyond the dreams of most people.  Custom slugs, head gasket. Bore and sleeve etc etc. your taking serious coin. Most x flow people arc up at the price of a basic head service. 
 
But hey hey if you have the coin and it's what you want to do, why not. 
 
Im with gerg tho - why doesn't someone do a decent cylinder head for the big 300 cuber. Now that would own a lot of engines getting around.

Yeah they're basically a big-block 6. Everything is scaled-up, including bore spacing. So no, 250 is basically as far as you can go. The Chrysler Hemi 6 was a better design to start with, from a performance point of view. They have 318 pistons for an oversquare cylinder. That's why they can rpm.

The 300 is a torque monster, but the heads have very limited potential for performance. Think of a 400M with 302W heads. That's about the best analogy you could have. Ford never wanted them to make lots of power, just to push farmer Billy Bob along in his F-truck, towing cows to the auction, and do it for a very long time without even thinking about maintenance.

Speaking of bore spacing, some have cut up LS heads and bolted them on, some 4V clevo's, basically people with too much money and spare time.

With the business really kicking goals, it has taken way longer than I first anticipated but it finally lives. For those that don't follow the business Facebook page the reason for the sudden motivation to finish it is my wife and I have entered Targa Great Barrier Reef and we are doing it in the ute!!!!
 
Being complete novices we are entered in the TSD class (time speed distance).  This allows a max speed of 130km/h but doesn't require a cage or half cage. Penny is keen to learn rally Nav so it will be a good starting point where we can still give the old girl some currie. 
 
Rules dont allow boost so the low comp head went and I stuck the original head off old faithful on to bump the comp up a bit. She now has 10.9:1 and seems to enjoy it. The original plan of this build was to do upgrades along the way and post results and that hasn't changed. I've got a series of intake manifolds and carbs to try and I'll post the result up on here as well as on the business page. 
 
Anyway as you can see from the vid vid I still have to finish painting the old girl but at least all the rust is cut and she is reasonably straight. I plan to drive the wheels off this thing next year.  Can't wait. 

Cool. Yeah different game with these to the good old mopar stuff. 
 
1"5/8 is about the biggest primary tubes you'll get from the usual places. Mark at Aussiespeed does a big bore 1"3/4 primary set where you build your own secondaries. I can highly recommend them as I've seen good gains.  In the new year I'll be doing some testing on various headers on the Mad Scientist x flow to show the differences. 
 
Stick to the 6al2 Programmable.  Trust me you won't regret it.  I've been beating on about how good they are for years on here and on my business Facebook page. Gerg will testify as to how much I beat on about them, but he has one and loves it. Especially important if it's going to be your everyday ride. With its load based (via map) timing graph you can get very good manners. 
 
Look forward to the build thread.
