September 13. Threw number 3 rod at drag strip. My friend lives fifteen minutes from the track and he also happens to have a fully dressed 360 magnum to replace my trashed 408 magnum.
Just before 5:00 we are pushing the Colt onto the ramp.
By 9:30 the new engine was in.
We did some odd and ends but a lot of time was spent making a new base pan, the Colt needs a rear sump. We couldn’t find a suitable rear sump so we cut from the mid sump to the back of the factory pan out, turned it around and welded back together.
The next morning we made it back to the track in time for competition. I felt full competition was a but much so opted to just run a couple of test and tune passes.
