[fuel pump]

Here is a picture of the 276" flatty that's goin in my 50 ragtop. Merc block, crank and rods along with an Isky MAX-1 cam, Johnson adjustable lifters and Chevy 1.6" valves and MSD ignition. I'm really chompin at the bit to try this mother out. Can't wait http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That's a sweet looking mill. In case I missed it have you got a pic of the car? Man, I'd love to have that engine between the fenders of my 50!

Rat,
Glad ya like the new mill. Don't tell Russ but the ragtop gonna be painted too. It's gonna be Fez Red (actually more of a maroon) which is a factory shoebox color.
Get a gang from New York and come on out to Billetproof Michigan in June. It's gonna be a great show.

TinyE,
I bought two blocks to get one that wasn't cracked. It will be interesting to tear down the flatty that in there now and see if that's cracked.

Nice Rich, looks good and it sound like it will run good as well. I can't believe your painting the car? I'm sure it will look great, but it looks pretty nice now.

Gus,
That yellow had been on the since 1980 and it was startin to show it's age (like me!). Besides I've always liked Fez Red so this was a good oppertunity to put it on something.

Rich, that's a nice mill man. The stock maroon is one of my favorite colors for a shoebox, good choice. Hope all goes together well.

Great car! The big question, what fuel pump are you running????

[fuel pump]

34,
Actually it's got the little Facet "cube" electric pump that was on it when I got the car. The nice thing about the Facet pumps is you can get them with real low shut-off pressure combined with just enough flow to feed a flatty at system pressure. It doesn't have (or need) a pressure regulator either so it's a cleaner installation.
