Track went hot on Saturday (4-27-24). Because of the wind and possible rain, I left the 318 Duster at home and just took the van down, as always, all in fun. In trophy I went out first round in a "do-over". I had the tree and probably the win but the tower messed up and stopped the clocks...

Nice win, I hate to see personal interest from the host...

one sentence spot on ^

why can't they make the port to the shape of the port "after it's been ported" before it's been ported? LOL.... I'm talking when they form the head, make the ports to the shape it's going to be after it's been ported so no porting is necessary... :)

A company makes a head, then offers a CNC ported version. Why not mold the head in the shape of a ported head to begin with?

RACES CANCELED TODAY DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER. BUMMER. NEW DATE IS 4-27-24

My best guess is the same problem every company has: So many of the good workers are retiring, etc, and it's difficult to bring in the new crop of workers with any pride, integrity, and accomplished work ethics. I won't even begin to say the changes the company I work for has made to...

Here is their facility, however, I do not know where the aluminum comes from... but so much raw metals come from overseas. Edelbrock Foundry: Expanding the Horizons of Aluminum Casting Education | Drag Illustrated | Drag Racing News, Opinion, Interviews, Photos, Videos and More

for whatever it's worth... this is what their websites brag .. i copied and paste "Edelbrock Performance Cylinder Heads are indeed made in the USA, offering top-notch quality and performance. Crafted from A356 aluminum" they also used the term "USA state of the art foundry" and it's in San...

Look what I found.....

26" tires, either set is dot approved. Couldn't land the 4.10's, so were using the 3.55 open. There already in the car. Out of time, but the car is basically ready.

Low Dollar 318 is locked, cocked, and ready to give it's all on April 20th. Will the 48 year old smog 318 hold together after all the beatings it has taken for a Grand Fanale? This engine is the Genesis of 318willrun channel. This engine has inspired dozens and dozens of home builders, the...

Cordova is a 1/4 mile track..... but occasionally they run only 1/8th for certain races. Thing is, they charge the same full price for only half the track!!!!! :realcrazy:

Yeah, I'll see what shows up locally (and reasonably priced...lol) before opening day!

I have an open 3.55 center section to put in it, but I'd like a sure grip, maybe 4.10's. I will borrow the drag radials from the other Duster.

[SOLD] - PTC 9.5 904 converter

I don't have the specs, I bought it here on FABO :) I had the part number or whatnots, but I'd have to look it up.

the .455/272 advertised duration cam. I believe it's 216 @ 050

Getting closer ..... and also getting closer to opening day at the track !!

The factory 904 "high stall" (had the pink hi stall sticker to prove it!!! :D) torque converters I've had all would brake stall to about 2100-2300 behind the small blocks, depending which small block. By brake stall I mean power brake it till the tires were about to spin or push the car through...

I'm sure this channel will be a participant.

One thing that cannot be argued is traction bars use axle twist to apply pressure to the back tires. Does anyone not believe applying pressure to the back tires' aids in traction???? 2nd thing is rear axle wants to spin like a propeller, lifting the passenger rear tire. And it would if it...

I will also say that today there are better options that are more "tunable" and mount with more sophistication, but it will cost you a bunch more as well.

If you understand what slapper bars do, and use them accordingly, then yes, they help immensely. Especially on a mild car that has an open rear end.

he was having a blast..... as was I :)

Weather might start to swing in our favor. Least most of the 15 inches of snow and 16 below zero/35 below windchill is gone.... Might be able to start the push to get this wrapped up before opening day! Here is what it looked liked for a while.....

I hope win that race because it's a long walk to town !!!! Too bad about the ram... :(

Moving forward. Here is where we are at the moment. Without saying anything else that may be cooking, I'll let you know my wife and I will be doing a Van War with our to vans, her in the grey "van of war", and me in the black shorty that was made the most rounds in the bracket race in the...

So, I have had some folks reach out to me and would like to see if we can somehow get together with their van/our van and race (aka VanWarz). Although the contacts have been made through youtube, this isn't just a "youtube" thing, non-youtubers are welcome too (although I will post the races...
