Looks real good Rick....its been fun watching the progress of your car over the last couple years! Any ideal on what it will run?
Thanks guys. It's certainly been a labor of love. It's also been on hold for quite a while. Finally getting back into it now with a yob and all. It should be ready early next year - in time for the local track's 2005 points season. My best (and realistic) guess is it that it will run a high 6.7X-8X in the 1/8th. The only way I'll know for sure is to 'get her done' and I'ma trying!
Lookin really good Rick ...hmmm...ready for the 05 season?...that means ready for the Roundup...May as well go ahead and commit right now
Well, you can scratch off "get you're car in Mustangs & Fords. I thought that grabber looked familiar.(readers rides Dec. 2004) As for me... Get a set of heads for the 351w I got to replace my 302. It's set up for Trickflows, which the owner removed to put on his Mustang Cobra. I also hear AFR heads and Edelbrok Performers are good too. Of course with my current budget, a set of 289 hipo head with at least 195/160 valves will be easier for my to get a hold of. Besides that, maybe upping the stall converter again (the summit one didn't help too much). or If I get ambitious, the with the engine also has a toploader with a hydrolic clutch for a reasonable price...I just need a clutch pedal assembly. If I can accomplish this by mid spring (married with 3 kids ages 2-8) I'll be happy.
Chandler has a 6 cylinder clutch pedal and linkage setup for sale. I need the 6cyl linkage and you need the pedals ... I think you should buy it and sell my the stuff you don't need!
I'll see If I can get a hold of him to see what he's asking for it. The local junk yard was supposed to get me one from a Maverick that I was getting parts off of for 3 years. They forgot to get my pedals and junked the car!
