    After some time Im about ready to test this carb out. I had picked it up used at the fall swap meet at MIR. It came off a dragster set up for Methanol so it needed some love. Having seen its days I cleaned it up and powder coated in Ultra Chrome with green accents. I then did a full conversion so it can be used with E85 Ethanol. Can't wait to try it out, Ill let you know how this monster works out.

    Looks good! Is that a moroso bowl extension I see in the first pic?

    That's what it looks like to me, and they are very common on methanol carbs.....
