Wished I had a bigger carb for DT. I think I'll start "one-eye" shopp'n for the right deal. You know, like what the birdy said when he flew over King Soopers.... Cheap Cheap !

Hey Dave, I'm feeling better but still having drainage into throat. Doctors don't seem to care after all it's not them that's choking. LOL but I do feel much better than I did earlier this year. Thank you for asking.
Have been working on my little sister's 70 Dodge truck on the weekends with her. Finally gave up on trying to get a kickdown linkage to work with the four barrel and we are going with one of those lokar cables for the kickdown instead. Putting that on this weekend.
The truck has a fresh 400 Big Block in it it should be able to eat Mopar Sam and 318svalvetosser trucks it was used to pull anhydrous wagons in its earlier life.

Glad to hear your feeling better.
One thing leads to another... Moving the pushrod holes made lots of extra work, but, I am enjoying it! Ijust need more time to work on it.
I finally found time to mill the rocker stands for my W2 rocker blocks. This will mean some pushrod hole grinding I am sure.
I still need to plug and move the 4 intake bolt holes for the W2 intake.
I was wanting to get the pushrods made this week, I may start on that in the morning. Once they are done I can wash the block and start getting the short block together...

His win is going to be explained as how close he came...
318 is already ahead, his runs and a 440 could be in the making.
Let's see what a long Midwest winter brings in the spring.
Well, he has posted time slips, and all I have posted is pictures. 2021 is almost gone..
I do hope the time that I put into these heads will be worth it. Time will tell, but, honestly I like doing this kind of stuff. So, I guess it is worth it for that alone. It is just a truck motor after all.
At the rate I'm going it may be spring before mine runs. I AM trying though. I really want to drive the old yeller truck again.
I hate winter, just hate it.
I should have just "borrowed" one of my son's 360s.

If your truck ends up with 160hp for every 500lb's... You'll know why I like them..

Power to weight baby!!!!
Right now Mrs. 318willrun and myself are in a bad battle with Covid. Ugly.
DT has run a best of 8.27 so far, but right now DT ET's is the last thing on our mind

Damn breakthrough cases!!..
I know y'all got your shot..
Prayers to you and yours...
It’s a virus, the world will never get rid of it because it mutates quicker than you can get the cure out. Never mind the crap there pumping out now!
Prayers for you and yours!
2021 is almost gone...the strips are closed. 318WR wins this round.
How about 2022????
I'll be final washing my block by the end of this week. Heads are ready to assemble, and I got the pushrods made up. It should not take long to get this together. I already file fit the rings and mocked up/ checked clearances a while back.
I still need to go through the 727 and make header adapters. I'm going to use 1 3/4" W2 truck headers on the procomp heads.
Spring is coming!

It was a successful year for both trucks. We both got a bunch done to each project and that is what this was really about. Our laughs on the phone, and PM's was about as much as we would get from any race.
Two thumbs up to you, Mopar Sam !!It was a successful year for both trucks. We both got a bunch done to each project and that is what this was really about. Our laughs on the phone, and PM's was about as much as we would get from any race.
May the fun continue!!!
Worse thing about the 2021 Race is "PIZZA" wasn't involved.
That WILL be changed in 2022. I here Jabs is serving....
