1 1/4" x .120 wall If you're actually going to race it there should be published specs for what they need to be. Looks like S&W uses 1" x .156"...
Yep, I was on my phone. Now that I enlarge the picture I see what it is.
Just as well left the shocks off that one, huh? Someone explain to me the rod(?) on the left side. Is that what locates the rearend laterally?
King Chassis can build you a car that is current rules legal and in my opinion, looks fantastic. Check out his FB page. My take is a car that...
Guess I'm the only guy following this https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16SPkJHskZ/
One more from a local vintage group that was at my home track last year. Looking forward to them coming back the first Sunday in August.
I have a Barnes setup for a SBC that uses a pump in the stock location for both scavenge and pressure sides. I wonder if you couldn't modify...
Wow. I didn't know that they are still in business. Too bad, doesn't look like they still make plain old aluminum slots.
Last year there was a 392 Hemi on Marketplace with a chain-drive blower on it. It looked like pure danger.
What do you suppose that ran? Superchargers ran off the crankshaft snout must have been a little more common than I was aware of.
I had a circle track engine that had a pair of ported Bowties on it. One of them was cracked, but it only leaked water when it sat during the...
How fast do you suppose that car was?
In it's heyday I knew guys who would go down there late Friday night/early Saturday morning and sleep in their truck to be towards the front of...
Looks like a Dragy.
I normally start out the day at a Drag & Drive event gravitating towards the Unlimited cars. As the day goes on and I walk through the pits the...
Got this from their FB page. Making progress. [ATTACH]
They reverse arch when cornering then pop back? I didn't know that was possible.
I feel like it needs a blower or stack injection sticking through the hood to balance out that ridiculous wing. Wouldn't change it otherwise...
Had a big block truck I thought was vapor locking. Someone told me to put clothes pins on the fuel line to act as heat sinks. Used to see large...
I enjoyed this. [MEDIA]
I've been following that since they started building it. https://www.facebook.com/share/ixSa4LmAmV65GKBf/
I like the looks of that, but those front tires and an iron hemi, bet it drove like a dump truck.
I think what a lot of guys are missing is that in today's world 1000hp is so easy to make that if done half correctly it will drive like a stock...
I know shops that use K-seal on modern daily-driven cars with great results. I used it once on a severely wounded 370,000 mile Ford V6. Took two...

Please explain the spacer blocks on the header flanges. Don't think I've seen that before. What did it run for times back in the day?
A buddy of mine owns Manitowoc Motor Machining. http://www.motormachining.com/
My understanding is that spec exists so a fastener can be visually inspected. Threads past the nut add no strength. I quess in theory they could...
That was supposed to say "doesn't bend a pushrod". Sorry for any confusion. Proofreading on my phone isn't my strong suit.
^^^ This. A bad lifter or improper break-in procedure doesn't bend a pushrod. Good thing is, the engine has engine run time on it that you should...
