Update on BA 409

[La Hot Rods]

Update!!
Had the chance this afternoon to get my oil pressure gauge on the stroker in Tom's SS and all is good.
So looks like this power plant will find its way between the fenders.
I was happy to find this out.

I was a little busy.
Guess Tom should have snapped a shot when I laying under it.

 

[blkblk63ss]

Can you reanact???? Lol

 

[La Hot Rods]

Well I do have to install the new sensor when Tom gets one.

Just had this picture sent to me. This is from Hot Rod Deluxe.
Second billing but I'll take it.

Sure looks like fun!

 

[La Hot Rods]

It was fun.
Going out first round...Not so much.

Well just got back from Mo-Kan had a grudge race with my buddy Jackson.
It was a best two out of three off the trailer, the Ba 409 against Jackson's Blown Small block front engine dragster
Off the trailer it runs a 12.23 @109.1 R/T .0368
He works on his car on the trailer(changes to a larger lower pulley) and runs a 12.62 @109.33 R/T .1865
Chalk one up for me and I rub it in bad only because he has been shit talking ever since he beat me with his blown Willys P/U
Now time for second round and I help him get his car cooled down and help him set the timing.
I didn't do any thing to the BelAir and run a 12.21 @108.96 R/T .1592 (kinda late).
He runs a 12.49 @114.18 R/T .0694
I win again WooHoo Call me the champ now.
We run a third time and he has problems and I run a 12.27 @108.15 R/T .0464

Now if any one is keeping score the 12.21 is the best ever for the old pile of use parts to date so I think it will have nice dreams for its winter nap.

This one you can hear the car run... may need to turn it up aint got no stroker here.

 

[Tom Kochtanek]

Woo Hoo! Best time to date!

Next year that baby should do even better, with a freshly built stroker engine and 460 cubes .

Just came back from Tony's at Day Automotive with a fitted block for the SS car, which frees up the stroker engine for the BA409 car.

Sounds like Tom is wanting the volume turned up

Stroker motor for 2017! Bigger and faster! Any thoughts given to spraying it? Get that thing to really fly?

 

[La Hot Rods]

I have never used Nos before.
Guess I have been still working on just a tune up.
The only thing that I have played with that had a power adder was my motorcycle with turbo.

 

[La Hot Rods]

Makes me wonder how much more is still in this combo.

One of our members here has been spraying his 62 Bel Air with really good success. Believe he just is using a plate kit under the carbs too. Works really well!

not a mechanic, but nos scares me for the engine. i believe turbos and such should be built for the engine. i believe lower comp. jmho jim
