Next list will be guessing when you’re gonna put it in the truck.

Used the ARP 4.320 compressor. From memory none of them caught awhile going in.

Believe I set the gaps to .030 top ring .032 2nd. Had plenty of ring gap in it. With that being said it’s not out of the realm of possibility that I messed up while rushing it together, I’d just think it would have shown its face much sooner. I won’t rule anything out.

It’s part of the game. I’m actually enjoying working on the car again and being semi under pressure to make this race. Been a long time since I’ve actually enjoyed it.

Car is supposed to be at Pomona to race in 16? Days. Not a problem. Won’t have a replacement piston till next week sometime. Gonna roll bearings in it and brake clean what I can out of it. Dingle ball the bore and pour the coals to it. Hey @TT5.9mag there’s cold snacks in the fridge with your...

Pins are accessible with the rear panel removed and the quarter window rolled up. Should be able to peek in there and see where they were filled.

Just hit me with the Price Is Right why don’t ya.

I can show him how to let the magic smoke out of it. :rofl:

10.96 at 116.76 on the brakes. Stock bore/stroke 440. 10.6ish-1, Unported stealth heads, comp XE275HL, torquer II, 850 Holley. Oh and a second atmosphere.

Found my bore scope, just had to pop the head off to make it work. I want to inspect the head closer since I saw some stuff I didn’t like, but #5 needs to come out. Definitely signs of scoring.

I’ll shoot you a PM so we don’t mess up his thread too much

I got enough safety equipment to go to the grocery store. I won’t say how fast it went to the 1000’ on a bare road with no burnout.:realcrazy:

Heard that. They sure are fun though

I think it just had enough fun for the day is all. It didn’t REALLY get bad till that little rolling burnout after the pull on the street. The smart *** stuff is what always gets me

He’s currently waiting for you to build some chicken wire and expanding foam socks for him, you know, for longevity

Anyone wanna guess if he will point out that “preservation” job to the next owner if he sells it?

I was looking for it but it appears to have grown legs. It was a long day so I’ll get back on it tomorrow

Cylinder #5 is the problem child.

Loading it on the trailer still hot one hole sounded like it was being cranked without a spark plug in it. Only smokes when the temp comes up. I won’t rule out anything but I don’t suspect the turbo

I intend to be at Mooneyes making passes

None yet. I’m sure I’ll get out there at some point this evening and pop the plugs out of it and find the culprit. Fired up great off the trailer minimal smoke. As the temp came up the smoke increased. I don’t even know where to start with the day. Kinda one of those “you had to be there”...

It do be true. Still runs just doubles as a mosquito killer now.

I’ll tell the whole story later, or @TT5.9mag can because he has a gift with words that I do not have. No burnout naked road and leaving off idle. Let the smoke out if it but boy was it fast before I did that.

Where’s the red X for this one? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Not a single thing wrong with unpainted cars. Mother Nature has been painting this since 1969.

I’m making shirts. What size you want?

It was definitely twice fucked before yesterday.

Had @TT5.9mag of MDSolutionsUnlimited come by and give me a much needed crash course on my metered fuel leak. Gave the car an attitude adjustment and finally gonna start doing real tuning on it tomorrow. Track day is rapidly approaching.

Now I don’t wanna win. Ain’t got no money to put in it. :rofl:

Here’s what you can build for UNDER 2k with a clean title. Do some shopping, be patient and have cash and a trailer ready. J headed 360, .484 purple shaft, LD340, 8.75 with 3.23 SG, BBP disc, etc. Since y’all are done measuring each others dicks this will put it back on track.
