I have not posted in a while. Just been real busy with many other projects in my life. Anyway, it is cold here and snowing almost every day. So its time to get busy with the blower EFI project.
Here is a link to my page where it shows mostly the injector plate machining and such.
I ran into a couple of stone walls as such the fuel rails hit the BDS TP sensor housing and a couple other issues. I am at the mock up stage. Once all mocked up I will take it all down and replace the headgaskets oil pan gasket and front cover while checking the engine out altogether. The engine has about 3 to 4 hours on it.
Here is the link.

I had to make stand-offs for the fuel rail to the injector plate. Took some measurements and milled away. The bolt that holds the stand offs to the plate is counter bored. Tomorrow I will finish drilling and tapping into the injector plate and also in the fuel rails where the stand-offs will mount. Pics.

Here is how I attached the rails to the stand-offs,the screws I used are just for mock up and I will be using stainless button heads. I also took the carb'd intake off the big block in about 2 minutes acting like a little kid to get the blower manifold on it and then the blower, EFI plate and Enderle hat. I have to be honest I was opening the throttle blades and making the blower engine noise like it was on the dyno. Acting like a little kid making noises on his bike he got for Christmas.
I have some issues, hence the mock up before final assembly. You have to expect some items not to fit right a needing "adjustments". The TP sensor on the BDS prepped Enderle bug catcher hits the inlet fitting on the fuel rail. I cannot really cut the fuel rail back anymore, so I think I will modify the TP sensor bracket and adjust the linkage to take up the difference I move it out. I still need to do a lot more work before final assembly. I think I might need new valve covers too because the ones I have interfere with the lower blower manifold as seen in the last 2 pics.

I had a problem where the BDS TPS set up hit the -10AN fuel rail fitting. I could not cut the rail back any more and did not want to machine another spacer plate for the injector plate. So I made a new TPS bearing housing. I copied BDS's housing. I just made it thinner and used the one bearing instead of the stacked 2 bearings. I am going to make another bearing housing the will hold another bearing that will be on the outside of the angle bracket.
Here is the original where the TP bearing housing hits will hit the fitting.

The original TPS bearing housing on the right and some alum stock on the left. Also I ordered some new bearings from Mcmaster in case I needed them.
You can see the splined shaft the connects to the linkeage and the other inside the TPS.

I transfer punched the holes (good old reverse engineering here...LOL) and bored out the round stock so the TPS lip fits nice.

Here is the shorter/thinner version on the left. The other side is bored out for the bearing.

Success. I have some good room now. Just have to machine another one for the other side.

I mocked up the pulleys including the alternator too. The alternator belt lined up perfect. I will be replacing the balancer with a ROMAC unit soon. I also need more fittngs for the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator. I am going to run stainless hard lines around to feed the fuel rails. Just a few more things to mock up and then it all comes apart. All the parts will be re-polished as well.

I have a huge list I need to keep on pushing and get this thing done. I made a thermostat housing today that will have a gauge and a dump. I also took apart the MSD dist and made it locked out timing (the accel thruster will control the timing). I also put a composite MSD gear back on (will see how it lasts).

awesome work TJ as usual, if ya have a problem fitting that beauty in your Nordic you could always send it to me, I know I could make it fit in my Nordic ;D ;D
-
very nice craftsmanship, i wish i had half your skills, keep the pics coming

Reminds me of reworking this set up from BDS, had to go thru TPS linkages, machine parts. Carefull, those red studs will go pink in a season. Looks good TJ.
-
I got a Mad Boner for that Hat !! ;D Very cool !
Thanks Tom...um not for gettting a mad boner though. I have a question. I will need to change my impeller I was running an alum. "B" and I know it will not hold up. I am estimating around 800 hp. I was looking at the bronze "A" or "AA" impeller. I have looked at all the impeller charts out there and even the extended ones. I am on the fence here on what to put in my berk. I do like to spin up my motors too. I was spinning my B to a honest 6000 RPM's.
Thanks.

Got some more work done today. Finished up the outer Throttle position sensor bearing housing and bearing pressed in too. Now it has a bearing on the inside and outside. Before it had 2 in a thick housing that would hit the fuel rail fittings. Fit up is good. Counter sunk the screw holes. Still need a little longer stainless screws. Also mocked up and flared the stainless hardlines. I need to find 90 degree black elbows or get these re-anodized black. I need more fittings for the back side of the set up for the fuel rail to regulator and some other ones as well.
Got my MSD crank trigger. Nice piece but they do not drill it for the 6 bolt blower spacing (2.76"). So I made a jig and that allowed me to locate the regular 3 pulley holes (3.200 x 3 bolt spacing) so I can drill out the blower holes. I am going to use a Romac balancer that is double keywayed and drilled and tapped for 6 blower pulley holes (3/8-16). The MSD trigger wheel has a recess in the back of it (I do not know why, stupid) and I hope when I get the Romac balancer it will match. I might have to do more machining to make it all mate together. As I have stated before, I love aftermarket parts.
Ya right.
Anyway, here are some pics.

It's very cool that you're able to handle each issue as they come up.
Incredible workmanship, keep the pics coming.

This is one of the most difficult parts to get. I went to every site that lists them and I call now on all sites except Summit before I order anything. None of the sites had the balancer I needed. Romac BBC external Balance double keywayed and drilled and tapped for 3/8-16 on 6 with a 2.76 bolt spacing for the blower pulley. Finally called Blower Drive Service ($$) and they have 9 in stock and will not be getting anymore. It came today but it requires a larger seal as the back of the hub is larger. So I called BDS back and asked them where is the seal. They said they cannot get them and are not supplied with them only for the small block. I was like WTF now. Again, I love aftermarket shit. So off hunting I go for a front cover seal that will fit a BBC cover but a larger hub for the balancer. Shit...
T.J.
ps- anybody know what that steel machined cup is for. I have an idea but want to hear from others.

omg TJ, I envy your machining skills!!! That cup looks like it goes right where you got it (as a washer for the ballancer bolt). You can always call Don Hampton (Hampton Blowers, Downey Calif), he's the man when it comes to blowers.
-
Thanks.
I measured the OD of both stock and Romac balancer and it looks like the stock BBC front seal will work. Thanks again. Next up, machining a JIG to cut the extra key way in the crank.

Yup good old aftermarket parts again. Did I say...oh well nevermind. Anyway, the valve cover bosses are hitting my lower blower intake. It really is that the intake is hitting the valve covers. Anyway, I figure I could just notch the material on the intake for the bolt bosses on the valve covers. Well I did that and now the whole rail of the valve cover hits the intake. Set up on the mill again and indicate (I must have done this 5 times) and mill the whole extra meat down on the intake. Kind of nerve racking milling a brand new intake that goes for over 650.00 and change new. Here is a pic and a video.

10 steps back and 2 steps forward. Took the whole engie apart and took the crank out to machine a second 1/4" keyway. Had to make a jig so that I could machine it exactly 180 degrees from the factory 3/16" keyway. Made the jig out of round stock (bored the hole exactly to the crank diameter then cut it down and milled it as seen. I indicated the snout to make sure everything is all nice and square and locked the crank down and milled away. Set the depth of the key to be .005 from the top of the key to the balancer as per Ken Lowe's web site (the only spec I could find.). Came out dead nuts. Now I need to finish cleaning the block and heads and get this thing back together and finish this build.
T.J.
ps-anybody need a BBC snout machined for a second keyway..hehe.

I am in awe. I couldn't make that shit outta balsa wood. Keep the pics coming.
I think I need a smoke ::)

So damn cool TJ. That's my balancer as well. I too panic'd about the seal dealio and measured till I was sick and worried it to death till I measured the stock balancer hub and found that the size was essentially the same. I then found out like you that they say the different seal if for SBC only.
Keep it up and I love how you designed the locator for the 1/4 key. Took me awhile to find a machinist that wanted to help me out (and then he charged me $250 :mad:)... Whatcha gonna do??
Love you work. Keep it up.......john

Damn John,
250.00. That is crazy. With this JIG I can set up and indicate then mill the keyway all in less than 30 Min.
I figure 50 to 60 bucks to cut the keyway. I will be assembling this thing soon. More pics to follow.
Thanks.

TJ, does that cup go between the HB and the crank pulley for the crank bolt?

I think it registers into the blower pulley and thus I would need a longer crank bolt. I need to find one from ARP.
T.J.

you mean registers to the back side of the blower pulley? BP is bolted to the front of the HB, and the crank snout flushes with the front of the HB, I cant see that cup on the front of the blower pulley, but its hard to tell in the pictures.

Nope. Not at all. The order of parts is Balancer, Crank trigger, single belt drive pulley and the blower pulley. The steel cup sits as you see in the picture above sits inside the front of the register of the blower pulley. I will take pics of it all bolted together.

I know TJ. Whatcha gonna do but not go back to the guy? With my new Obnoxious Racing Engines motor, I hpe to never have to worry about getting taken advantage by "local" guys. He's a great guy and honest! Not something I can say about my previous machinist......
By the way, when you moving to Washington state??

Ok, got this thing together. I also have to mount an Air Bypass Valve. Most of them mount outside the bugcatcher that screw into the injector plate. I did not want to do it that way cause it looks ugly. I got the Air Bypass (GM) locally and bought the adapter from BDS for 8.00 and the air filter for 17.00. I think these were the cheapest items in the BDS cataloge. Anyway I machined an adapter out of aluminum so it would make right angle and held on with an -8AN bulkhead nut. This project gave me problems all the way to the end. Only the center section is opened and acts as the throttle body. The outer to holes are blocked off by plates. This allows me to put the air bypass valve assembly behind one of the plates. After machining the adapter it was time to make the 3/4" hole. No drill was going to fit in there so I had to use an angle grinder. This was a bitch to say the least. It took me an hour to make the hole. Finally all fits pretty good. Now I have to drill a small hole in the bottom of the bugcatcher to run the airbypass wires.

That keyway reminded me of a couple times, once cut a keyway on an OD on a lathe! Grind tool, dial a few thou run tool back and fourth, dial a few thou.....Another time cut a keyway on an ID on the mill, made tool, dial a few, plunge, dial a few plunge......Ya gotta do what ya gotta do

I am mounting the Accel DFI on the back part of the back seat of the boat. I know the cover is not water proof but it should protect it from getting wet due to splashing and such. I got the bronze tinted polycarbonate from McMaster and used the Modern plastic glue stuff with a suringe. I made the base out of alum. and used alum. angle (home depot stuff) and tacked to to the base plate. Then drilled and tapped the angle after gluing the box together.
Also polished the fuel rails, injector plate and made a throttle return spring bracket that will also serve as a plate to hold the main DFI harness with adel clamps that will be held on with the studs sticking up from the plate. Still waiting for longer blower studs that will hold the plate as well.
Got the MSD crank trigger phased in and final assembly of the throttle bracketry and bugcather. All bolts are lock-tited as well.
The last pic shows the plates I made that I am going to use for my custom lifting spreader bar.

I pulled the harness apart and had to remove some of the extra stuff I did not want such as the fire wall grommet, NOS, accessories (fan) and shift light. Also removed the main pos and neg from the main harness so I could run it along the stringer and not over the top of the intake. Also separated the ignition harness out of the main harness and I am going to shorten it. Came out alot cleaner.

Both upper and lower cradles are done along with the home made spreader bar and they actually work. The engine is hanging in the pics from the I-beam hoist. The lower cradle holds it good and it is not going anywhere. I made the lower cradle for winter storage as well as transportation on the back of my truck.

I also mounted up the engine on my engine run-in stand (took me 35 minutes, even had to pull of the crank trigger). Going to wire it up this week, get it started with a MAP and set up the idle, make sure no leaks anywhere, fuel or otherwise. I also welded an 02 Bung in one header. Going to use a friends wideband as well for this proceedure. There will be no 02 while in the boat.

Got some more work done. Got the oil in it and primed it with the priming tool. Oil pressure is good. Made sure I had oil up to the rockers. Then wired up the battery and starter circut. Made a crate set up for the MSD and the Accel Thruster. A lot of wires but it should not be too bad if you take one at a time. Also hooked up a wide band. You can see it cable tied to the crate.
Also made a simple bracket for the fuel pump. I have to just weld another bung in the right side valve cover for the puke tank, put oil in the blower and then should be pretty close to start after running the DFI wire harness and plugging in the sensors.
Man this is a really long road....

TJS, Mad skill is all I gotta say :sly: ...I think you should market that setup you have there as a "Neighbor Pisser Offer"...LOL
Come to think about it, I need one, taking orders? ;D

Lol, I'm willing to try, Damn dude, Nothing short of awesome workmanship and attention to detail.
This is EXACTLY why I'm talking with Terry about a huffer for the next deal I build!
I still think it'd be better in the Moo, lol (Bovines....Bowties.....might just work out!)

Ok this thing is almost ready to start. I removed all the wire covering for the ECM/DFI wires and re-did them again cause I did not like the way the were routed. Much better now. Also found a Linclon radiator my Father had lying around for the run in stand(the one I used before was beat). I transfered the corvette cooling fan and brackets to it. I also am going to try an external pump (see pics). I am still working/waiting on a .ECM program from an engineer who works at Accel. I built a program but I do not trust myself yet. I also will be running a wide band 02 (seperate system).
I just have a couple odds and ends to finish up. I am nervous as hell with this DFI stuff though. Stay tuned for a hopefully running video and pics of the Cops coming to my house. >:D

Fired it up today. Sorry no video. It started up in 3 cranks. Runs real rich. I am still working on the programming MAP. I have called Unchained many times for help. I am going to get video tomorrow. I am hoping a well know EFI tuner will stop by the house too. I am begging him, but Sunday is his only day off and he wants to go jet skiing. After tomorrow I am going to get the tanks ready and replace the impeller with the new Stainless "A" impeller I got. I figure I will have it wet in about 2 week. I am psyched.

Rich...more OD. ;D Hook your laptop to it and he can tune it from his office, no?
