Motor plate + coilover conversion = too easy

Don't get off of the horse, keep trying to ride it.

Definitely sounds frustrating. Was the track cold? Could that have been a cause of your traction problems?

The track was cold, but the Sportsmans still wrinkled well on a part throttle launch. Another guy from town was running 1.4 60' times on a skinny drag radial. I definately have a serious issue somewhere, and I think it's fuel pressure. The system is WAY overbuilt for the combo, but I just stuck the regulator on, and don't have a pressure gauge, so it may be choked way down.

The cam in the engine is very mild, but it should pull well higher than it does. The launch I understand, and I am sure I can fix. The power dying and the top end miss, (if 5,000 rpms is considered top end), Is what needs to be figured out. I think high 11's is more in line with what it will run. I wish it was earlier in the season.

Checked the floats after the round 1 no fuel fiasco. The level is good, but I'm betting when I get a gauge on it, I'll find I have a low pressure problem. I think it's sucking the bowls dry going down the track.

Ready for a test fit:

Engine, trans, crossmember, 10 minutes later:

The exhaust, 2" TTI's, 15 minutes later:

Headers went on over the factory exhaust studs. Too easy. All painted perty, back in next weekend.

looks like your links are broken, if they are still there, just fix the links.
