Yeah Kevin is super busy and has been For a long time, he has the 273 out of my nephews formula s car right now for machine work. I think you and I have had this conversation before lol I remember talking to you about your car a year or two ago. We have met before at the little league fields...

Thanks! It has come a long ways in the last couple years, would I recognize your car?

i am running 275/60 15 Cooper cobras and they are insufficient

you’ve more than likely seen my car around then

Yup I am in selah

I know how to drive it lol. I have owned this car since I was 15 years old and have raced it many times! Just not with this engine on a track

Thanks for your reply! To answer your question about the heads the answer is no, I don’t know a lot about them to be honest I bought them on eBay in 2003 and took them to my local speed shop for a valve job, port/bowl work, and to have them cut for bigger springs. From there I’ve never looked...

Ok guys my local drag strip is up and running and I plan on going to a test and tune night very soon. My question is what safety equipment will I be required to have in order to pass tech. I know that different ETs will require different equipment. I honestly don’t even know what kind of...

I watched him make hundreds of passes in that duster here in yakima when I was a kid, I haven’t been to the track in years though

Still working here in central Washington for now...... plumbing a campus expansion project for out community college. But I think our days are numbered before we’re shut down considering I live and work in the epicenter of this madness

Replacing a starter with headers and clutch linkage lol. A mini starter and Dougs headers definitely help with that

Thanks for all of your input guys! When I built this engine the for the first time I cared a lot less about a real number and more about seat of the pants performance, but the older I get the less time I spend at wife open throttle lol. Any guesses as to where I would be in the quarter mile...

That’s the plan! I recently upgraded to super stock springs from stock saggy six cylinder springs and sub frame connectors. The increase in traction and how straight it launches is impressive

No flow numbers unfortunately. Not even sure how to get those

My heads are opened way up

Before we pulled the engine I did a dry compression test and the average psi was 155. That was with a different camshaft it measured 502/522 234@.050 lift 108 lobe seperation I would have to believe with factory heads I would be closer to 9-9.5:1

My rear main seal started leaking so I pulled out my 17 year old 360 for a freshen up. New rings bearings gaskets and a cam shaft. Here is what I have 78 360 block .030 over Balanced stock bottom end the crank and rods were turned .010 Speed pro 116 pistons set at close to zero deck height.(...

I also dug up a few pictures of the shift linkage I built to tighten up the shifts, this simple project made such a huge difference in how this car shifts I recommend it to anyone runn8ng factory rods

Since my last post I have finally gotten around to throwing on the tail panel stripes and the “Plymouth” trunk trim. And taken her out to a couple car shows.

This car is as good as his when he turns 16, he has spent lots of hours in the shop with me restoring it and is well aware of its significance to our family

In a few short years it will be his car and I’m gonna start shopping for a road runner

There was a lot of what looked like spray adhesive on top of the paint and a bunch of surface rust. I assume the adhesive was over spray from the the insulation on the bottom of the package trey. Any where that had surface rust got the wire wheel and a rust inhibitor before sealer went on

Just for comparison.

90% complete! Some day when I find the right deal on a 340. I will make it an actual h code clone. And I would also like to trade out my o.d. Tranny for An iron case 4 speed

That brings us up to date. I since got the car running and driving and installed the 340 stripes and tail panel stripe

I left the interior pretty much as I had it before with the exception of a rear bench seat recover and a pair of new pro car buckets up front

At this point it was time for a few upgrades. Sub frame connectors, super stock springs, kyb shocks, a complete redo on the entire engine and head light harness including an relay upgrade for the headlights and a bulk head bypass and wire size upgrade for the alternator I also decided it was...

Finally after Christmas with my family it was time for reassembly! The engine is still strong and required nothing more than a pressure was and a paint job

It got just to dang hot out side and I got super busy at work so from June to December the car sat untouched

After a couple of days for the paint to cure we got right into the color sanding note that my sone has a block with no paper on it lol
