- vx ss,vn calais 355
Been thinking about starting a thread in here for a while and thought now I've started to pull the motor out getting ready for the new one I may as well post a couple of pics/info as I go for anyone that may be interested. The motor coming out is a cammed hsv185 motor that's been in there since I bought the car about 9 years ago and it has served me well.There's nothing really wrong with the 304 just a leaky rear main seal and lately a spark problem which I think is more related to wiring but I got sick of spending money chasing the spark/wiring problem when im getting a 355 built to go in anyway.
As I said the new motor is a hydro roller efi 355 which we started with a vs block and gone 30tho over and machined for a zero deck height. Im running a scat crank with chev journals ''6'' scat I beam rods and forged srp flat tops with valve reliefs. Also running arp main studs and a main cap girdle with a high energy sump ''pro street'' balancer and a areoflow h/d flexplate with arp bolts.Havent got all the info on the heads as they are still with the engine builder but they are vn cast heads that are machined for screw in studs and larger springs aswell as 2.02/1.60 stainless valves and some port work which I will post up more info on when I speak to the engine builder.not sure exactly what cam yet but is gunna be a hydro roller from camtech.Im going with a harrop single plane and 1000cfm throttle body and am looking into the haltech platinum but that could change yet.As I said I'll post up some more info as I get it cause at this stage I sorta just said to my engine builder ''I want it to make over 400rwhp through an auto'' and im just letting him do his thing and hopfully I end up with a pretty tuff engine.
