We both have lost so many friends overt the years we talk on the phone 3-5 times a week at a minimum. Laugh, joke around, and talk engine building and head porting that we both love to do. At 68 we are both to stubborn to quit doing what we love.

But my buddy Tim sure knows how to build some nice engines and do some nice wheelies. We’ve been racing close to 50 years together.

RIP Jim. Great guy, great friend.

That was his first time at the track. From what I hear with the high shift point dialing in a converter is the trick because of lack of torque. I’m sure they will get it dialed in. I had a friend that I met years ago at Keystone that switched his dirt car late model over to drag racing after he...

Motel 6. We’ll leave the light on for you.

Someone said on Facebook he insisted on getting off on the left side of the track. Lol

Ohhhhh man you Dont know what you are missing.

Remember what I told you about the girls of Walmart. If you don’t smile and laugh 10 times a day work harder at doing so.

Back boobs. Gotta love them.

I’m not even clicking on that. Lol

Mmmmmm caramel Or maybe some dark chocolate.

Come on now guys. You know you want some.

Why anyone in there right mind would use a “truck motor” in a race car is beyond me.

I get the hankering for them once in awhile.

I never cared for the super Victor till this year. Now I really like what I’m seeing.

I’ll have this other set of heads done tomorrow. If you need a better measurement remind me later tomorrow and I can give you more accurate measurements.

I did I real nice post on this subject last year and measured an Indy intake, super Victor, and a Victor340. I Dont have a clean table now but working crudely on the floor it looks like with a straightedge across the plenum the super Victor is about 1 3/4 higher. In this one picture I set a one...

I’m putting together a set of 2.055 Speedmaster heads right now with regular comp keepers and retainers and it’s like I can close my eyes and relax again.

Me too. He ran these a couple of years ago and I’m pretty sure he was usually running 6.50’s. He was kinda disappointed last year when he ran out of the box TrickFlow heads and I’ll ask my son but I think an M1 and ran 6.66 almost all year. He races at Norwalk a lot.

Just an old man making chips fly. Kinda half enjoying it too. Thanks for the kind words.

It’s well over 2900. Lol

Been running mine like that since around 2010, 2012. Lol. Probably 3-4 different engines and they were used and damaged when I bought them, repaired them, and ported them. Best 350.00 investment I’ve ever made. Starting to smoke some so they are probably begging for a new set of valve guides.

They are going to borrow my Super Victor that I ran 9.70’s with years ago. I spent a couple more day’s updating it to what I do now and it flows very well.

Took 6 weeks to get Manley 2.08 and 1.60 valves, keepers, LS springs (ya I didn’t stutter), spring locators, and valve locks. Well 5/16 locks came instead of 11/32. Took somewhere around 3 months to get this right minus -040 or -.050 pac 11/32 keepers needed with this spring to get the required...

Not quite.020. MR. GASKET Thin Steel Shim Head Gasket

It’s not his converter. He is getting his converter stall raised to 5800-6000. Then bang 9 seconds

And the my azzhole buddy gotta text me about the time I was halfway out my trailer and my exhaust got stuck on my trailer floor. Between my fat belly, short legs, door cable, I was stuck and about ready to holler for help when my buddy spotted my helpless situation. A couple forabodiesonly...

Hey it’s hard enough climbing out let alone taking pictures of it happening. Lol

Why do you guys insist on the damn spray. He will soon have a 9 second no adder car that he built with hard work not a 600.00 spray kit. Carb tuning will come after he gets the right converter for the car if nessesary.
