I hope that is a typo and not some strange "Freudian Slip" about my posterior.

Did that "freshen up" include any port work on this heads,Norb...?
Cause I suspect you're going waaaaay deeper into the tens than most are suspecting.
I think there are going to be some epic Tickety Boo vs Lakeshore Shaker battles at Meltdown 2017![emoji16]

I can hardly wait!

Go for it! Left mine on the stude after I added the scoop. It's part of what gives em character. Especially the lighted part on yours.

 

Norb And Scott I like the idle chatter...sounds like my lawn mower.

 

That engine is so bad ass its shaking the camera already.

 

That that engine must be sour, Tickety Boo just BLARFED it up on the garage floor!

 

I know theres a group of cool cats putting another front engine dragster together... 120" wheelbase!

 

Is the tow rope so Scott can drag it into the 10's???

 

Ric

It was me that BLARFED , right after the reality of the leak down test set in .

Tony

Can't have any one reading casting numbers or counting frost plugs.

Scott

Posted Ric about piston kit, and the heads could use some help.

Thats about all my wallet can handle this year, the 64 is in primer ready for paint

this spring. ( was not planning for this. )

A.J.

Maybe

By the time we get to race it might be used up and tired again, been waiting two years already.

 

I got a buddy at work with a sbc 400 block/crank if you want to step it up a little. Also a short tail th350 that's been rebuilt if anyone needs a trans

 

Norb is already married to his 343"er.

 

343? I figured he could find a way to build a "301" to match Scotts "289". You know, to keep it even

 

Dyslexia claims another victim... lol

...just got my latest Rod & Kulture magazine,...the tri-five nat's
giveaway car, the All American, 57 Chevy plans to be at this year's Meltdown drags, hopefully running in the 10's...

 

Is Debbie Harry in the pic there gonna drive it?

 

No, they said they want it in the 10's, so they asked Marc to drive it

Not sure I understand the big secret about ones engine size.
For me I am going to brag about every damn cubic inch I build.
And my next one is going to be a 460 cubic inches of race gas snortin 1965 409 truck block with a 427 Chevy crank topped of with a pair of 583 heads.
You will have to stay tuned (up) in for the rest of the fixin's

 

My 18 yr old son wants to race his truck this year. Would it fit in?he has never raced before.

 

If money's no object a soch 427 would fit nicely. Lol. However one of them new fangled coyote motors would be sweet! Or do what we did. Junk yard 5.0 out of a mustang or explorer would get ya playing!!!

Salty

I think reduction of engine size evolved because of the Canadian exchange rate.

 

Looks like it will fit perfect.

I went 10.53 @ 127.44 with a single carb on pump gas, and 12 year old slicks.., what did you run with 2 carbs and a blower.., I can't remember. Maybe you should let Marc drive the Okie Doker, probably pick it up a couple tenths, and have its first reaction time under 1 second.

 

This is what happens to blown 57 Chevy's when I'm on the gas. Judging by this guys reaction time, he musta went to the Giraffe School of Dark Green.

 

If so hope it turns out better than your race with Mary.....LOL


Ray

 

Are Keystone wheels allowed at Meltdown?


Ray

 

Scott

Can't wait to see a full hard pass on your little 289.

Another one to watch will be Bigslim55 with the new engine.

Also want to see a full hard pass on Scarelane that thing just zips through the gears.

Saltys 460 W motor putting lots of air under them front wheels.

2017 should be a good time.

Norb

 

Norb I for see lots of air under the front tires when its on the jack stands when I put it together.
