We put her away for a while to figure out what's next in the evolution of the car. Had it for 10 or 12 years now, first as a driver, more recently as a door slammer. Got it with a big-headed dual quad 409, headers and a TH350, drove it around for years. In 2014 we wanted to be a part of the Reunion program at Great Bend, so James did his magic and we put a fresh stock stroke 409 with 690 head, bunch of used stuff from down the basement. I think James was in the mid 12s with that engine. The BA409 got an upgrade last year. with a transplanted stroker from another car I had. Went with different heads (583s from Dan "Ishiftem"), new headers from Mark Wilson and James installed a McQuillen intake. Knocked the from bumper off and got into the 11s, with a best of 11.33 at 117.
We decided the car was unsafe at those speeds, so it's back to the drawing board on this one. We'll put it on ice for a bit, everyone has other projects going and the resources are stretched as usual
.
Here's a shot of the engine bay:
