It should be fine even with the new high end chip at 4100 RPM.

Greg, sorry about that but the engine has been buried under a bunch of stuff. I didn't show the engine to that Colt guy either as he would have wanted to buy the engine to add it to his vast collection of slant parts.

Drag race only. Filled block to deck. Air cooled, welded chamber head. .100 overbore 11.45 compression. Pretty rare Hilborn Injection. Aftermarket powerglide case with a smallblock MoPar bell. Vertex Magneto and a gear drive for the oil pump/fuel pump. Dragster oil pan with baffles and doors.

Post #82 photo is the engine in this car. The engine is the old Dale Rose setup that he had in his 10 flat Arrow. We added a vacuum pump and made the cylinders round and never really finished getting the combination lined out. It should run 10.80's when all done. In the past at a slant 6 drag...

I think with fuel injection done right, it would make for a more fun package. Mechanical injection is easy compared to those three nightmare things on the engine now. Hey, I like things simple.

If you are ever in SW Missouri we can get the head flowed by JR Blackwell. He does our cylinder head work. Good guy.

Hyper_pak, thank you! Mark

That wagon would be great for Stan! The Colt is about done and Stan has already built a show winning Lancer wagon. So this wagon should build fast and would be easy since he has done one. I don't think it would be caught by a tech guy, but is your driveshaft loop with 6" of the u-joint? I...

Thanks for all the kind words. The Lancer would not have been built if the guy in the Hellcat had not provided a lot of labor, plus he bought the transmission for the Lancer. I have a photo of Wes running a torch cutting out the Lancer floor getting ready to built the chassis in 1994. Brent did...
