  4. Stevie Wonder could have handled this engine build in a more timely manner.

    Motor lookin real good!
     
  14. cam is a .570 lift solid roller.
     
  15. Wow she made so much power, some of the paint fell off the block. Nice spit pattoons atop the carbs, watch out, sun flower seeds have a habit of finding their way into those, not to mention old cigars. Looks like the freeze plug near the started is missing, must of made a mess in the dyno room?

    Great pix. Fire up the bullet. Whiner? Not a chance, you started the thread, cap it with a trip across town. Then the 'right on' and 'wicked idle' kudos.
     
  20. Well Robert, you did leave that door wide ass open, with a big ole "Welcome Groucho" mat in front of it..,
     
  21. FUNNY Rick!!!! How are you man? Hope the 56's running hard
     
  22. And yes Rick that is my plan just not sure how my times will turn out until it runs down the strip.

    That should haul the mail quite nice. 500hp is plenty stout for 355 inches at 10:1. I assume you have some bad ass heads on that thing. What rpm was it at to get the 500hp on the dyno?-rick
     
  27. I have a lot of head work here. It pulls to 7000 rpm, redline. I will have to ask my friend who built it at his shop.
