Project Leftovers: The Rise of Frankenstein

With my gear every hole is 2 degrees.

From one hole to the next closest on either side of where it was previously at is 2* ?

I also tried to do the spill port method and couldn't find it. I had the lift pump on while I was barring the engine over. I was expecting fuel to shoot out as I had the #1 line off.

How do you plan on setting the timing? I've been pinning my pump then rotating the engine back past tdc to desired advance. I have an ati balancer with degree marks

The pump is pin timed to 0 degrees, so timing is set by pinning the pump and then loosening the socket cap screws on the adjustable gear and then rotate the motor backward however many degrees of advance we want. Math can be used with a precise arc length measurement on the balancer or a pointer and a paper degree wheel taped to the balancer. So far 28* seems like a nice street/lower cylinder pressure break-in setting. During the various events, timing will be advanced or retarded to whatever setting is deemed best for the particular event.
 
Very nice build, been watching the progress from the beginning. Can't wait to see it perform, good luck bud.
 
Update: New Motor - It's Alive!!!

This motor build was full of setbacks and long delays but it's finally back together and we're happy to report that the completed motor build and resultant power is incredible.

The motor likes to rev!!! And the motor mounts are doing their job keeping the motor firmly connected to the frame.

Spool-up at 5800' is great and the power is SCARY!!!! Frankenstein is a BEAST!!!! and will demoralize my 10.90 Junker Drag Truck in a heads up race.... For those curious, this is roughly 750-800 cc's worth of fuel from the Northeast Diesel 13mm pump! More fuel is available if we need to turn up the wick. 10.00 ET is the limit of the safety equipment so I don't think it will need more power for the drag racing portion of the Diesel Power Challenge....

There was a small fuel leak on this pass from a loose low pressure fuel fitting, truck still pulled HARD!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and votes for those who cast in my favor. This thing really is fun! as of now I have a titanium series fass on it and the dataloggs show that it can in no way keep up with a healthy 13mm pump. I have an aeromotive regulator set to 40 psi and it dropped to about 3 psi on those runs. It did have a loose fitting before the regulator which would surely throw off the numbers but I will do another run with the fittings tight to verify. i am going to keep the fass to fuel the front port and add an aeromotive eliminator to feed the rear of the pump. the eliminator is an upgraded A1000 and flows about 25% more. I will be stealing this pump off my parked race truck and see how we do. Also I am reworking the exhaust a bit to allow for 2 hoodstack kits and will start plumbing up N20 system soon.
 
That truck looks crazy fast! Time to start practicing backing a trailer now! Remember those events are worth just as much. They'll probably be making calls soon, good luck on getting in!
