    Typo I made before and have since changed in my pics:
    Eddie Meyer heads not Millers.
    Cam is a Winfield SU-1A with mushroom tappets and a tighter intake lobe centerline.
    Carbs are Jack Henry modified Stromberg 48 that were bored and rewoked for nearly 200 cfm.

    Ray,
    They are 48 Strombergs originally modified by Jack Henry, a successful pre-war tuner, these carbs will flow nearly 200 cfm each !

    I modified the air bleed circuits to be adjustable though and worked the transfer slots Henry added over a little because of the throttle blade angle at idle when running 4 carbs.

    Hi Allen,
    No I haven't had a chance to get back on the digger because the Belond is commitied to a few shows and SEMA is sort of the lick off to my busy season, show wise.
    I've have a schedule laid out for it, the dragster, and would hope we can make the March Meet with it but I just confirmed the Belond for a booth at GNRS and we need to change an intake and fab up some one off parts and cut some wood patterns so I can rebuild the seat.
    Thanks for keeping it in mind though and that might just be enough for me to stay late and tonight and draw up the patterns for some of the brackets I'll be needing.
    Have a great week,
    Michael
