again, big pat on the back and a attaboy to you full pulling this off.

still glad you have not beat me at the track yet. i probably have another 7 months in the lead!

also what does your truck weigh? tom


I'll take to the public scales soon, I'm guessing about 3600#.

It went 76MPH at the 1/8, 60' was crap 2.68. 98.3 MPH at the 1/4. Our mph are quite close. All in all not bad for the first time out.

Finally finished putting the rotating assembly together on the good motor today. Another 2-3 weeks should see the long block complete. The long pole is the intake manifold, I got a message from the foundry to call Monday so I'll find out how close he is to having the lower runners complete.

With the truck mobile again I can get it out of the shop which gives me a bit more room to work on the engine.
