Slow build 1962

[nana1962409]

Yes it does James! I do still have plans to do the stroker 409 and I do have the block, 4” stroke crank, and Walla heads but decided to do the supercharged 380 first being MRHPs build was so awesome and impressive to me. Love the way a w looks topped with a 671.

This is the cam card for the build.

Should make for a snappy engine.
Make sure you give it a big squirt when you hit that throttle.

 

[nana1962409]

Went on a little larger side to try to loose some of the low end power being with the supercharger I’m going to have plenty anyway.

 

[La Hot Rods]

I will have to try and make a trip to watch you run this.

 

[nana1962409]

It will be a year or three before I get to the track with it. It will be mostly a street car being there are not a lot of tracks close to me they are all about 2.5 to 3 hours in any direction.

 

[La Hot Rods]

2.5 hours, that's close. Are home track is 3.5 hours.
I do understand that other priorities came put a big damper the car projects. My personal car just sets and waits.

 

[nana1962409]

I wish they were closer though! Can’t wait to see you get that dragster out one day it will be a lot of fun!

Well unfortunately the freight company has lost my engine I sent out to be built but claim they are good at finding things so hopefully they come through. My hopes of that happening are kinda low right now.

How do you lose a 409?

What he said??

 

[nana1962409]

I really wish I knew how they lost it I was told when it got to the Buffalo ny terminal it wasn’t on the truck so somewhere between Minnesota and New York it got unloaded some how? Got 1 more call to make in the am but don’t think they will have anymore info for me than I have now.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Damn. Insured Nate?

 

[nana1962409]

Not sure Carl set it all up. I have never shipped freight before so didn’t know how it worked.

 

[heddrik]

Man that is terrible! So sorry, we will pray it gets found. Really hard to lose something that large and heavy I would think.

 

[DonSSDD]

Check your waybill, there has to be a driver name attached to this kind of shipment, start to finish. Its too big and heavy to get lost or fall off a truck.

 

[Phil Reed]

I'm sure they will find it Nate.

 

[MRHP]

Holy crap! Hope it is found.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

They know every stop the truck made and it took a forklift to unload it.
