The Scamp's engine, trans and steering are in place

Yeah, I qualify for sure. lol Thanks again for the kind words.

The engine is a MP 360 high compression short block that's had main studs added and ARP rod bolts. It was all balanced and the pistons cut for valve clearance. I can't remember how deep I cut them but the top of the piston is only .090 thick at the exhaust relief. I had to move the cam around to get
.058 piston valve on the intake and .078 on the exhaust with the lash and the gasket. The pistons stick out of the block .011 and I use a .039 FelPro head gasket. That's .028 piston to head clearance. The heads are small chamber W5's milled .050 to reduce the chamber to 47cc's. That works out to around 12.7:1 CR. The cam is a Hughes .630/.630 278/283 flat tappet with 1.5 rockers but I use 1.6 Crane Gold race rockers. With the lash it nets out at .650 lift. The heads have stock valve sizes of 2.02/1.60 and the intake flows 306 at .650. I forget what the exhaust flows but it's substantial. An M1 W5 small port intake and 950 Demon carb with a 2" spacer. The headers are 2" primaries and a 4" collector.

We made the door panels from a Jegs aluminum kit.

I'm just going to run the car in Super Pro or Pro ET brackets. I hate screwing with the NHRA nazis at the divisional or national event level.
