WOOHOO, :D Took me about a year and half, but I finally swung the deal for the 57 Chieftain I've been eyeballing. It's now safe and sound in my...
Is it really taking the high road if you're the only guy at your track with a car? And if it's ET bracket racing at your track, makes no...
Car didn't perform as we'd hoped. All that great head work has exceeded the cams ability to use it. Time for a new cam. Car was a few 1/10ths...
Here's the info on the head in its new configuration. I shudder to think about the hours and machining that are in that head. 240cfm @ .500 lift...
Head is done and flowed. Engine is being re-assembled... I'm still dubious we'll have a running, driving, track ready car by tomorrow morning....
I like where your heads at on this. Good idea! :)
From our perspective, We loved the idea and look of the cars, lacked the necessary parts, found suitable solutions that were cheap and went with...
It's Thursday night, we race on Saturday... Engine and trans are out of the car. ;) Doing the lump port head thing. some images of the rocker and...
My take... it's not that he doesn't care... it's that he doesn't give a shit if YOU don't... ;)
Nice!
Show off. :p :D
Give worrying about the rules, and have fun on your own. ;) use what you like and make it look old. bring your junk over. :) People love our...
Imagine if the guy that did that had two eyes instead of one!? :eek: I think he was trying to connect the engine to the frame, and some bad depth...
Big picture, as always. You're probably right. however. We've been having rules debates way before I got involved the last time. There aren't...
I gotta be honest, I guess I hang with to many "hooligans". I clicked on the link looking for some pre-drag race "donuts"... no tire smoke or...
<---Thinks this "Skip Pipes" dude has some fab skillz. Can't wait to see more. :)
I'm liking that.
Shut the hell up with your giving away the secret crapola...:eek: :D
So check this out. We find out today, that we had a push rod pushed through a rocker, and a subsequent dead cylinder on that 7.7 pass. :o Doing...
I'm not sure why you guys are debating the rules. Anybody asked Ryan if he's happy with them as is? ;)
I'll take credit for that one. :) I still don't know why we don't see more of that. Made good sense to me. :D
1/8 mile. Time slips, the new stuff is at the bottom. 60 ft.......et......mph 9-5-2009 2.325, 9.686@74.13 stock 1 bbl carb and manifold...
Here's our new intake We also got rid of the hand brake. now it's a foot brake. More pics of it are here, might have to scroll to the end to...
Local shop, "4th street machine" found and ordered them for us. :)
I think we found a completer donor for our next version of an HA/GR. It's a 1975 Monza with a manual trans and an inline-4. Just gotta whip up a...
I'm just trying to figure out if I know that truck. ;)
FINALLY, a decent one happened to me this weekend. at an "inside a mall" car show. Lot of people that don't normally go to a car show. I'm...
LONG winters here. usually 3-4 months with snow on the ground. We still have it. *sigh*. our tracks schedule shows first race of the year as...
just so I understand what you're saying. Do you mean a different part of the HAMB, not the HA/GR section. Or do you mean a completely different...
