Ok guys, we at KMST-Detroit Muscle (Mascar) are going to post often to share with you the build we are doing on the FB Deuce, we are pulling the #s drivetrain and will be replacing it with a Borg Warner T 10 and a 1970 350 4 Bolt service block with a vintage intake, carb, headers, wheels, etc. All parts are pre-1971 and will be built with the parts and technology avaialable in 1971. We are treating this as if we are back in 1971 and we blew the motor and wanted to build a street fighter with the best available parts at the time. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2015/03/full-18271-23747-1970_service_block.jpg

Yes the Roof, we will, after the Muscle Car Nationals, rebuild the #s motor and trans that have been pulled, touch up anything that needs addressed and return the car back to the show room stock configuration.

Don't wanna bust your chops but that intake is around 1977-1978..Scorpion intake with nitrous ports.

Deal of the century here..(not mine btw) NOS early 1970's BBC Torker.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/N-O-S-EDELBROCK-...534&amp;vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/N-O-S-EDELBROCK-TM2R-2695-performance-intake-manifold-/121604478260?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&amp;hash=item1c5031 1534&amp;vxp=mtr)

Earlier style Torker with open fill hole up front pointing to the passenger side...later (mid 70's) Edelbrock changed the oil fill hole to point the opposite direction for the newer GM cars..that is one way you can tell the difference.

The SBC TM-1 is the most accurate for 1971 but I don't have a pic of one of those.

Whitetop, when did the Edelbrock C3BX intake come out? I recently picked up one of those.

I agree on the Scorpion intake but I thought they started in 1974? I'm not concerned about sticking to the letter with dates. I'm just going to build, one of my old school solid lifter, ported oem iron head, small blocks. Back when I had No money and had to make whatever was laying around work. Just to go and race with you guys and have some fun.

Right off the top of my head late 60's..I was referring to the X-type of intake the OP was planning on using.

You may be correct, we purchased it on ebay and it said early vintage manifold believed to me 1970 .... oh well, too late now, Kenny has been porting on it quite a bit <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif all good. Will keep you all posted, lots of pictures in the next few days.

I agree. If you want the best small block chevy manifold technology that there was available in 1971 (that still fit under the hood) it's already on your engine.

I completely agree, On all my street motors I run dual plane manifolds. But on this project we are going old school Detroit Street Racing Style. Schoolcraft, Telegraph road, White Castle. And that means 12to1, Big Solid [email protected] Camshaft, Single Plane Intake, Brazed and Epoxied ported heads, 4781 Carb. And let the clutch fly at 8000 RPMs. I want to see the Blue Deuce wake up!!

Please swap out that original CBW rear end before you sidestep the clutch at 8000.
It would be hard to replace.

Jamie </div></div>

X2, please do this - a CBW rear is not like a BE in that there were a few hundred COPO's in excess of the Yenko COPO's, and can be found. A CBW rear is near impossible to find. In my 19 years of this (OMG!!) I've only ever heard of one CBW rear being found, and it's only a rumor - I've not actually laid eyes on it.

IMHO, it would be kinder to the Roof Deuce if these mods were performed on another, less original, less pedigreed Deuce. I'm sure we could find you a decent project Deuce to modify. Again, just MHO.

The car will have a 9'' Ford in it for the Super Car Race . Complete original drive train set aside. after the race the car will be put back to original. This is only for the weekend. We understand the value of these original parts. And right after the show we are going to completely blue print the original drivetrain right back to oem specs.

I agree, and after all the Roof's street raced this car hard, so I think we are doing it justice one last time before we do a mild Re-Restoration of the car. We will completely rebuild the drivetrain, which was not done and we will return the car to completely stock condition. I am also currently looking for another Non-Matching Deuce to put this drivetrain in permanently so I can create a real day 2 machine : ) to go along with my other #s matching Deuce's <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Ok guys, change of plans, for those of you that were worried we were going to use the Roof Deuce for this project, we have decided not to ........... we will, at the end of the year return the Roof Deuce to completely stock show room condition, with Kenny completely restoring the drivetrain and putting the car completely back to stock condition and mothballing the Roof Day 2 parts. We will be bringing a different Deuce : )

We have acquired an original well known, real 1970 Deuce Yenko Nova, Yellow, Automatic Car that does not have the original drivetrain. So we will put our 1970 Day 2 street race drivetrain in this newly acquired car and bringing it to SCR18! This car is rough and in need of restoration, so its perfect for us to build and race the heck out of, we will then bring it to the Muscle Car Nationals to debut the car &quot;AS IS&quot; with its day 2 drivetrain, and after the show, we will do a full blown restoration and finish it in Street Race Day 2 trim and bring it to the 2016 Muscle Car Nationals for debut in its new Day 2 restored glory and use it for years to come as it was meant to be, as a street racer <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2015/04/full-18271-24182-yellow_deuce_3.jpg

17 = Fathom Blue

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: VintageMusclecar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">VERY nice numbers!

Can (/will) you share any numbers regarding cam, compression and head flow? </div></div>

I didn't flow the heads. Just went off of my memory(back in the day)but based on the dyno it is safe to call it 270 and 200 @28&quot; 180CC port. It started at 158CCs
I kept it at 2.020 to keep the shrouding to a minimum 1.750 bowl
and a pinch of 2.200
No epoxy or weld, the thinnest spot is .110

Camshaft is one of my spec grinds 302 268 600 straight pattern
Compression 11.7to1
VE on this combo is 105
I'm very pleased with this build, on paper Max power should of been 520
and RPM should of hit a wall at 6600.

1/16-1/16-3/16&quot; rings?

I just ran this through PipeMax (had to guess on LSA and ICL, went with 110° just as a WAG), it showed 108% v.e. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

That's a lot of meat to take out of those heads--I don't envy you there. (I can almost smell the cast iron!)

Have you ever tried a 2.055&quot; with a relief at the top of the bore? I wanted to try this on my 302, but it's so hard to keep compression in these tiny engines, I didn't want to cut that big of a relief in the chamber and on the block. I probably would've lost close to a full point of compression.

Again, that's a kick-ass little build you've got there. Can't wait to see what it runs. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif

1.5 1.5 3MM Naper and Low oil.
108-108:)
I did a test on relieving the bores many moons ago on a hot motor on the dyno with a Air flow 220 205 heads. No other change. I saw about 3HP.

Good choice on rings. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

Mahle pistons?

3 HP is 3 HP...find 10 places to find 3 HP... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Thanks for sharing so much! That is a heck of a benchmark. Look forward to seeing the whole Day 2 package come together. This is a great thread.

Hey guys, Kenny really killed it with this one, he worked on those heads until his hands bled! Steve at the Dyno Shop was stunned when he did the runs on the motor. We are also doing something very special with the Turbo 400 ..... think Turbo 350 in a Turbo 400 <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif We will be posting some more pictures this weekend of the build, we are leaving everything as is, however we are replacing the front suspension, breaks, break lines, fuel lines, gas tank, etc for safety reasons on the track, but we are leaving the body, dirt, etc as is for the reunion and the Muscle Car Nationals display. We will then do a total Day 2 Restoration in 2016 for judging at the 2016 Muscle Car Nationals. We have also found out from the second owner that this car was purchased from the dealer with a black vinyl top installed, so we will be building the car in a Day 2 format and will include the vinyl top on the build.

Stay tuned <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

We took some video, I will get with my IT guy and create a web link to post next week. Going to take a bunch of pictures tomorrow and post them .......... we will also be taking the car to the 2015 Muscle Car Nationals for all to check out as is. We will then do a complete Day 2 restoration in 2016 and we will bring back to Muscle Car Nationals to share the restoration with you all <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

We will also be trucking this car up to Nickey's (thank you Stefano) where it will be stored until the Muscle Car Nats where we will display the car.

Well I wanted to get it to a track to do some testing but ran out of time. So a couple of driveway hits is all she gets.

Cool car to say the least. Glad you came, and had a good time. Always nice when we can get someone else to join us “crazies” who feel there is more to these supercars then just slowly driving them from the trailer to the show area, then back to the trailer.
