Fired her up the fist time

Yesteday we fired the new rebuild 261 up the first time.
Sounds like a WWII fighter plane - cool.

The Demon carb is there only for a view weeks to check mileage and power - so I have a reference when I bolt the Fish carb on

Congrats..................good job.

 

O.K. I confess it - I did it.

I looked at this ulcer of a Demon carb this morning, lost my nerves and despite my plan to drive it for a while I ripped it off and bolted the Fish M3 on.

OHMYGAWD what a difference!
Feels like a completley different Engine.
Purrs like a cat, smooth, silky in idle but if you tuch the pedal - unleash hell.

Never seen such response and brut raw power out of a Inline 6. It blew my of my socks.

I will make some pictures on Thursday.

Got to, got to, got to luv it....well done man

 

Boy, did that stir up some ghosts for me - AWESOME! Ran 261's in oval track stockcars ( '52 and '55 Chevs) back in '67 and '68. Just reground cams and split manifolds in basically stock engines but yeah, they sounded like fighter planes! Thanks for the video - made my day! Regards, Dave.
