Good move, Joel. Get her all broken in for next year!!

I'm glad to hear you are moving forward on the engine. What size engine will you end up with when Jack is finished? And, are you planing on upgrading the rest of the drivetrain?

Not sure what size the engibe will be. Using his 4" stroker kit. I think that will be around 470+ CI. Going with a set of edelbrock heads. Using my stock intake and carbs & an HEI dist. I have a ford 9" rear with 4.56 gears, Moser 31 spline axles, Muncie M-21 4 speed with close ratio gears. Centerforce clutch & pressure plate. Balanced stock drive shaft & my rear spt arms have been boxed. Hopefully that will do it & hold together. What do you guys think? Not sure when the engine will be back from Jack, hopefully before it gets too cold. Would like to get it together & running before winter. Thanks.

Joel,
Sounds like a nice build similar to my first one. Make sure you have the Global west supports for the upper control arms and you will need to reinforce the lower control arm mounts to the frame also not sure how well that Muncie will hold up with this stroker build,

Joel, good luck with the new engine. I am sure it will paint a smile on your face. I also second Brian on reinforcing the upper crossmember and lower mounts. That muncie will probably need an upgrade too. Good luck!

Thanks, Pat. We didn't take any pictures at the first food fight????Saturday?

 

[boxerdog]

...and I don't get it. The guys standing around all know what they are doing. The rest of us??? Not so much!!!!

 

[Garbageman]

Thanks for the pictures Pat and Patty, they are great.
Dave, we were standing there waiting for our turn. It was a great effort by everyone there to help fix several SNAFUs on the different cars but, of course, Joel's situation was the worst.

Paul

OK.....names for the guys standing around the front of Joel's car please. In the one picture, looks like Joel sure lost a lot of weight since Thompson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
