I know you were goofing but in reality....the guy that the engine was being built for said "it'll be fine"! He was in a hurry and wanted to make a race that was coming up and well, told him no way. This thing ended up needing more work than he thought it was going to need all the way to making the MSD distributor fit with the valve covers on the Indy heads.....and on and on and on. Even the valve covers needed some machine work to bolt them on. Seems like the aftermarket back then didn't make stuff to fit Mopars. Anyways, ended up running 9.30 on a small shot of the funny gas in a 3600 lb car. Had lots of fun back then even thou there were lots of screw ups with the motor and the car. Barely made the race he wanted to attend but did ok.
