Dont you hate all the smoke damage to the underside that now has to be cleaned and painted. Well did the floor turn out OK.

I agree with friday driver. Bigger is not always better. I just built a 427 small block and the engine builder installed a cam intake total .642 lift 302 duration exh. .625 @ 314. I took the car out and ran 7.5 in the 1/8 the first time. I was very unhappy. Spun a bearing as well. I took the engine ...

Call DART I just had an engine built and was getting 100 psi at idol. Dart blocks are designed to run one oil pump. Jim Patelli who rebuilt the engine from the first A HOLE did his home work. Now I get 60 at idol to 80 on the track.

What I did and my buddies still cant figure out why I am not ripping out my moter mounts. I took the rubber mounts apart and welded a plate in them and hid the welding on the back side.
