Projects Flat FED build

Well I decided to use some 8ba heads I have done with bigger chambers........lower my cr give that a shot

 

Iron heads may be more rigid too. I wonder if some of your problems may be caused by unequal expansion rates of the aluminum heads on the filled iron block?

 

Na Tom its caused by too fkn much pressure

 

What the hell are you going to do when you start tipping the nitro can?

 

Hey Tom right now I'm soo close to my goal I don't think there is any nitro in my future.....remember I can't go any faster then 10.0.........

 

So, are you headed to sac test and tune soon?

 

soon as I get her back together............

 

Hey Carl you might want to richen the carb up she sounds lean even with the first pulley I always thought it was a bit lean now with the smaller one you better fatten the ol pig up or bad things will happen lol good luck at test and tune

 

Sure you can...Just don't get caught.

 

Hey Tom all I'm looking to do is get consistent and not hurt any parts and be close to the mid tens, shouldn't be too hard huh???? unless you and anyone else wants to donate to the cause

 

Sounds like a piece of cake. What exactly is taking you so long!

 

Hey Carl - do take a look at the Cometic MLS head gaskets - I do think they'd be a LOT better than the copper sandwich ones you're currently running.

 

Yea Dale I have already called them.................

 

Good luck on your next outing Carl

 

Thanx Tim. Had a bad day pouring yesterday........... mold collapsed UGGGGGGGGGGGGGG However I did get the larger heads filled with aluminum so I guess it wasn't so bad after all

 

heads........

 

Bummer about the rear cover, But getting the heads filled was a plus,

 

Yea Tim, I will retry this week sometime I hope........

 

No rush Carl, It's that time of year out here , Beth an the dogs like it tho, Tim Jones

 

You're gonna need some snow tires for the rail Tim.

 

Make sure those are nomex socks.

 

Make note to self....... keep fingers out of spinning bit..........UGGGG
no wonder its called Bumps n Bruises

 

When you get done working on it do you count your fingers? Dammit Carl, be careful when working around machinery.

 

Ouch and I know it's dear to your heart but a wedding, or any other ring, has no place around spinning machinery either .

 

Ouch

 

Careful Carl, we work the same way, A piece of alum and a drill press got me the other day, Note to self , use a clamp dummy

 

Yea guys its the shits getting older but not wiser...........
