Okay, I dug out my info; Int/exh .100 86 90 .200 163 153 .300 237 200 .400 298 232 .500 334 261 .600 343 287 .700 352 292 This if with a sheet metal tunnel ram style intake base and no pipe on the exhaust. I don't...

I've been sort of side tracked lately but this jogged my memory. I see if I can dig out the sheet tomorrow. Fred

Dan, congrats on your first test voyage, I guess! That is why I always used to get on everything real hard as soon as I left my driveway. Didn't have so far to walk if something like that broke, ha ha. You'll have to ask Brett about all the burnout marks. I'm glad it it didn't do any other...

You can do while it is installed but it will be entirely by feel. I don't think you can see much of it with it in the car. The nut that holds in place is 11/32 I think then there is a thin flat washer then the bushing. Probably should have a magnet ready for the dropped parts! Good luck.:D Fred

Dan, I thought I recognized Brett but it has been several years since I've seen him. We were all a little "younger looking" back then......:D Tell him I said hello. Fred

Dan, nice job on modifying that QT bellhousing. I see one potential problem though. The only ground for the starter is between the nose and the mounting pad on the block. All those layers of paint don't help that. It would be worth it to clean that area to bare metal now and avoid starter issues...

Naw, I wouldn't worry about any overheating problems just yet. If i was you I would start by locating lots of new rear tires. That thing should destroy a set in nothing flat. (pun intended!):clap Fred

A firefighter was working on the engine outside the Station, when he noticed a little girl nearby in a little red wagon with little ladders hung off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle. The girl was wearing a firefighter’s helmet. The wagon was being pulled by...

Awesome ride along video. Congrats on some good runs. There is some great pics on the Bangshift site. Quite a few of your car, inside and out.:beer http://bangshift.com/gallery/The-2011-Hunnert-Car-Heads-Up-Great-Lakes-Dragaway-gallery.html Fred

A farmer was selling his peaches door to door. He knocked on a door and a shapely 30-something woman dressed in a very sheer negligee answered the door. He raised his basket to show her the peaches and asked, "Would you like to buy some peaches?" She pulled the top of the negligee to...

These guys make the rest of us, well....... some of us, look like beginners at this stuff. It almost looks like their sole purpose in life is to build this car judging by what they have accomplished in so little time. Excellent work and I hope to see it in person someday! Fred

It would sure be nice to have the rest of the engine to put it on. I think Lamar Walden makes a reproduction set of heads that it will fit on. I guess if you don't have that it would make a really cool door stop. I myself have half of a Brodix aluminum head for that. I guess you could say...

Hopefully I will have some numbers soon. :pray Just waiting for my oil pan and then it is off to the header builder. My flow #'s were really similar on the intake side. On the exh side I believe I had quite a bit more. I'll dig out my flow sheet and post my #'s Fred

That car is going to be BAD A$$! 63 was always one of my favorite years and this car will be right at the top of the list. :beerbang Fred

Bob, If it were me I would probably replace the pistons anyway regardless of weather you bore it or not. I would be willing to bet that the ring lands on them are more than a little loose after 149k of who knows what kind of abuse. :takethat On the plus side, a 350 Chevy engine has got to be...
