Ok, to keep up with my image on this site, I feel I need to say this.

What's he chicken of, it's a Nova....now if it was a big block Camaro

now we're talking about something to be scared of :nutkick:

Hey Rob, what are the motor spec's and what is he looking to run?

Nice car, the primer paint scheme seems to be a Nova thing around here :smt005

well he ran and messed up the first 3 runs do to nerves then the 2 good runs the score board went out so no time slips the last run was the one where his base balls must of grown lol he was all over the track because it started to drizzle here are the to videos i got that his g/f did with her phone. the first video was a clean run but he was shifting way to early he has a electric shifter but he thought it wasn't shifting because he wasn't use to the higher rpms lol so he shifted before it ever reached the rpm i set it at which was way low to start lol
right now we can only guess but a car he raced the guy told us he had been running 6.50 to a 6.67 tonight and mondo beat him by about a half car so were guessing a 6.50 is close so will see next week what actually does. any ways here are the video's

as for the motor it's a 468 13.5.1 if i remember right the cam is something like a 714 lift it has been so long i don't really remember tho. the motor was in a dragster running 7.90 in the 1/4 till they started changing things then it would only go 8.20 i hate when you do something for someone and then they try to fix it lol i guess it was to fast so they figured they slow it down lol. any ways the guy had me build him a alcohol blown 572 for the dragster which made 1500hp on the dyno so i bought the 468 from him and gave it to mondo for his car. i am hopeing for a 9.70 1/4 and a 6.20 1/8
being the car is very lite we will find out soon what the exact weight is tho

If you don't mind me asking what is the master cylinder off of ? It doesn't look like the nova or the dodge one.
Nice job with the mini-tub and tin work! Very clean!
