Some pictures of my Weistec 3.0 garage build

Since it is rare on this forum to find pictures of the insides of our cars I decided to share some pictures of the forum on what I am having done to my car.

The first steps was to remove the motor and gearbox.



My innocent 500whp 335 in the background.



All the pipes removed and only the harness left. I decided to unplug the harness at the ECU and remove it when the motor is out.



Balancing the box for removal.



Right side custom 2inch ID branch was catching even though it was loose so out it came.



Eureka its out. Time to package and ship it to Weistec.



What the bum end looks like.



My wife walked in and blurting something only a woman would say. I didn't know you can make a sentance with looney and crazy. My staff had a laugh.



Easy does it. Left side branch stayed on. The car is RHD.



On the way to the engine stand. When people stand next to the motor do you realize what a mammoth of a motor it is.




Items to be fitted are:

Weistec Heads (I have a spare set of heads that I had done)






SLS Valve Buckets



Weistec Head Studs



Weistec Piston and Rods



I injured my hand doing summersaults with my daughter so I am hoping in the next few days to tear the motor down.

Could the op add a little commentary as to what the expectations are for this stage three? This will be a bad boy for certain.

I am going to do a custom wide body in the rear with 12.5 inch wheels. The goal is to push the power to the point that it doesn't lose traction in fourth on street tires in a straight line. We generally drive high speed here so the goal would be to hit 300km/h on a 1km sprint.
I will obviously have a drag setup for the car as well to play on the quarter although there are no goals in that regard.

It is a lot of fun.

I must add that the motor build will be done under the supervision of my long time friend and professional. At this power level there is zero tolerance for errors to be made when it comes to the building part of the motor.

There isn't really a projected power rating or at what boost as I live at a altitude of 5600ft so quite a few things are unknown at the moment with no set precedence.
