383 knowledge anyone?
I don't think it had enough valve spring for 8500 rpm. I was running a vertex mag with no rev limiter and it just got away from me.... hard to admit but true. After it swallowed #2 piston and valve parts and took out the cylinder wall sucking a few gallons of antifreeze and piston parts into the tunnel ram and making the steam cloud from hell the thing locked up through the tranny causing a wonderfull hopping motion on those 13/33 W goodyears' at about 85 MPH...... I did get it off to the side intact after a few tense moments and got a good cheer upon exit anyway. Would rather had a time slip though!! Let me dig out the manifold and adapter plate.. not sure where all that stuff is. I did put some holley tri-power carbs on the bay that would work pretty cool on it. Still cheap at the moment
