Hot Rods XO/PP Bonneville project

Thanks for the education. I play with 409's so this is new to me.

 

Preparing to fab up the carb linkages

 

How I've missed this thread/ build I don't know but I must say this. You Gentlemen are impressive.

 

Linkage coming together

 

48s or 58s?

 

They're 55s.

 

Needs a pair of Cherry Bombs. Hehe.

 

It looks like a trophy, sitting on the desk.

 

It is, kind of.

 

I didn't see a blower or turbo inlet - SO what are the spring s and burst panel / door for ? Also what is the advantage to bushing the lifter bore down to use the y block lifters ? Wider foot so a more aggressive ramp / or take advantage of the cam profile you have ?
Again impressive.

 

You may have noticed the top plate on the intake is removable. The burst panel is for potential future supercharging – we can just swap out the top plate. And yes, the y-block lifters give a wider foot for more aggressive cam profiles.

 

Blowers for everything. And I’ve never seen a case where it wasn’t for the better. I drove all the way across the country to get mine back

 

Thinking about the upcoming Holiday
Season. I wish to express my/our
Thanks to all the many friends we have made along the way on these Land Speed Racing journey. There are way to many to list but I haven't forgotten a single one of you. I am truly blessed. Thank you all for being a part of our journey. May you all be blessed in the coming Holidays.
John Mullen and Team 640.
