Well finally got it ready to run . The brakes need residual valves. Pedal goes to floor first pump then on the second pump allmost up and on three they are good. They tell me that because the master is below the floor and wheel cylinders are above that cause the problem. ACI Engineering has good ones. Any thing I am maybe missing please jump in. I got a small video sound clip I will try to get on here. I got 333 heads 20thou planed 9.5 to one pistons. 340 hp camduration 288/300 . Right now all I got is a 2 barrel hooked up.Thanks John :D

Hey Johnnyrod, Nice ride...looks like it is coming together real nice. On my 37 and on my sons 32 we also ran a proportioning valve with the residual valves. This will help prevent dive in the front. If you haven't gotten one yet, I would ask your vendor about it. Your doing a great job. :) Walt

Well got her running on all three carbs. This is my first ride in a w engine. Got her on the road with only the center 2 barrel and it went pretty nice. Ford 9 inch 3.55 gears. Put a big smile on my face. So today we got the tri power workin,took her out on the street put her in low and give her ****. It started off real good and then it took off like the devil was on her ***. Man oh man does it ever pull nice and just a 348 maybe 300 hp. I put her on the scales and only 2400 lbs. The front end gets real light for awhile when goin from 1st to 2nd. Not bad guys I love it. She sure is a nice over sized go kart. Thats all for now I could go on and on but wow that was awesome. :D :D :D John
