'69 Javelin 401

Complete restoration/rebuild  1985 -2004

The 69 Javelin when first purchased was pretty immaculate with a 343 CI V8 & Auto.

Not sure what prompted me to try to improve it to a GOLD SuperCharged 401!?

GMC 461

The 401 with the new fuel injection setup. The custom throttle body should be good for 1000CFM The butterfly's have an incremental opening secondary pair 401 setup3.JPG (37965 bytes)
401 setup1.JPG (37837 bytes) The fuel rails and injectors will be good enough for 600+HP The Edelbrock single plane "Torquer' has been modded for the Injectors
The heads will have Crane custom cam and forged black anodised roller rockers fitted soon. The custom Blackjack Headers to suit the unusual 'DogLeg' Port exhaust ports flow big time! 401 setup2.JPG (37904 bytes)
401 setup4.JPG (37707 bytes) The block has to be modified to provide extra oil to the rear bearings found out in NASCAR racing. 401 oil system.jpg (30142 bytes)

Glenn is hard at work trying to get the Javelin back on the road by the end of 2004. DSC00945-1.jpg (74142 bytes) THe 401 is being modified and assembled at a good pace and he just may do it!
DSC00946-1.jpg (87114 bytes) One of THE most important mods has been done to make sure that the rear bearings do not starve of oil at 6500RPM. The aircraft grade system has been expertly installed at home in the garage - must have been all that Aircraft engineer training;-)
The rocker gear is top shelf in all respects as we want it to hold together when pumping out 500HP The Blackjack headers had to be flattened to clear the RH steering assy. DSC00947-1.jpg (70345 bytes)
     
The oil pump has also been modded for more flow and re-routed DSC00949-1.jpg (61290 bytes)  
DSC00948-1.jpg (78702 bytes) THe old girl is starting to actually look like an engine that COULD make 500+HP!! DSC00950-1.jpg (74359 bytes)
