Just realised this thread that Kiwi Kev started is over 10 years old now so thought I would bring it right up to date with my highlights on the...
Thanks, it's been a great journey with the truck. Not over yet though, I want to run consistent 9's. and win a couple of Gasser Circus rounds.
Now the motor is rebuilt with only seven passes on it I'm leaving well alone apart from possibly changing the blower pulleys to give a bit more...
Thanks Carp, it's great you're able to catch up with some of our racing.
Thought I'd post a bit of an update on the truck, it's been a bit of an up and down sort of year. Decided to upgrade to a Dart block as my old one...

Strange times everywhere at the moment, our racing season hasn't started yet and I'm beginning to wonder if we will turn a wheel in anger at all...
Cheers Kev, at last I've lived up to my username once again. [emoji16] The trucks running really strong and is one of the quickest cars in the...
July 12/14 meant it was time to set off for Santa Pod Raceway for Dragstalgia but also the weekend of our 44th Wedding Anniversary. Having an...
Thought I'd give a quick update on the state of play with the Gas Junkie. This past weekend was our first Gasser Circus meeting of the season, the...
It may not be a Crane cam, they supplied blanks to a lot of different cam manufacturers with the same number stamped on the back. I thought they...
Once again I find I'm in need of help from the great minds of the HAMB. I just bought a 301 sbc short block (327 block 283 crank)that ran on...
During our vacation to California this year I took the opportunity to contact Kev with a view to finally meeting the guy in person. We arranged to...
Thats a great photo of the truck racing this year at Santa Pod Raceway during Dragstalgia. Thanks for posting it, hadn't seen that one.

Update on the heads, just got back from my road trip. Heads are better than expected, date matched pair and the other head bizarrely had the...
Picking the heads up on Friday, it will be interesting to see how far from stock they are. Should be fine for my build whatever and better than...
