I will be there...no worries on that.
Can't let me fans (fan) down.
May be big may not could be bigger.

 

Word is there will be a Jackson sighting up this way this afternoon.
Seems he looking for go fast parts.
Guess it makes sense to get them from the guy that keep out running you.

 

Got the battery re-located today, and have a possible kill switch location.

I would put it on the left side...but that makes for more battery cable.

 

Just a matter of personal preference? Or a rule?

More about making the car ? truck work off the line.
And use a push pull to turn off and on that way you can mount your disconnect close to the battery that will save cable and amp draw.
Ric schooled me on that one.

 

So if the motor torque twists the car to the right putting the weight on the left side would make more sense now wouldn't it........? That is if I'm reading you correctly?

When you launch the left side want to lift the right want to go down.
Just try to picture what the rear end does when it is trying to rotate under the car / truck when it leaves the line.

 

I was requested to post this video....so here it is sorry Jackson I didn't find it when you were here.

 

Ric told us about this and it reminds me about a Black 59 that runs at Wisconsin International Raceway.
I need a level lol

 

I have proof that Jackson was here but... none that I was.
He sure is a brave guy to show up without some backup.
Just iffin some of you guys want to know he took parts with him so you better look out....I know I am.

 

Well james as you can see from the video if you look closely I not only put you on the trailer I also treed you lol. Yes for you other folks my truck was faster than the camera could capture lmao
All kidding aside thanks james for letting me borrow the gear set if it wasn't for good guys like you helping a brother out my digger wouldn't be running now let's get that 409 block fixed so Scott can see the tailights of the 62


Chrome don't get ya home

Now I ain't liking that!!!!
Weather or something getting to you guy?
You know if you only go to the ford side you will only know that much.

 

Yes I do remember that show or go night...it was a feat to say the least..come to thing of it I may be feeling some of it now.
How in the hell we crossed paths makes me scratch my chin.

 

This could be your X frame Salty, with the bigger and better 460 W.
With the right Camera angle, you might get a picture of Jacksons digger under the front wheel.

 

Just to clear this up the new used engine is bigger but not sure about it being better.

 

I was chugging along getting my 57 150 ready, until I ran into a roadblock last week. I found damage on at least 6 pistons. Facebook experts think it butted the rings, took chunks out of the pistons and then had some detonation because of the chunks flying around . I have yet to get it to a machine shop to get a real opinion. I built the motor 5 years ago and had in an O/T car until I parted it out in December, I had no clue it had issues until I drained the oil. I need to get a hold of Ric and get some new pistons once I decide what heads I will be using, what compression I want, and the bore size.

 

Closer.........

Putting the battery on the left side helps to counter react this problem

Nice job gammz but you might want to paint the center around the lever white so it stands out a bit


Chrome don't get ya home

 

Will do. I was wondering if we shouldn't make it stand out better in case of tragic event and someone has to shut it off.
