We cleaned out the inside and removed the hood, fenders, etc. Not much floor left, or rockers, but we'll take care of that. Will need a trunk...
I'll keep that in mind, that will come later. Thanks
It's been lurking in the corner for a few years, my son keeps asking when we'll start on it. I keep saying "maybe in the winter" since we stay...
I've been using an 8N for the last few years with a 5' finishing mower to maintain about 5 acres. Generally its been pretty bulletproof. I had...
I see the SK prefix on alot of Ford development stuff from the 60's. That could be a pretty special unit there. Some google searching for Holley...
to run longer bars you will have to cut the floor. The pick up points for mine are just under the front seat, rear floorboard was completely cut...
Just depends on weight, there are some 280-ish inch motors, up to 350-ish. I don't think anybody has ever run heavy car with a big block in C/G....
Don't put too much faith in the engine size you see painted on the car, or the emblems on the body. Not uncommon for guys to have the engine size...
I've run a Jerico WR4 and a Tex T101 trans in SEGA. Both were circle track units (hard gears) and both failed at about 600-650 hp. Now running a...
What does that mean?
Care to elaborate? I would dare say if you think the gasser scene is a fad, you could be looking in the wrong places. I hope the poser gasser...
since you asked what people think... The gasser scene was winding down in the late 60's when that car would've only been a few years old, they...
Mike, I did a test on the ole Flat Out Falcon. It has a teardrop hood as you know, I taped some yarn on the back side of the teardrop where the...
SEGA officials do tech inspection to make sure the cars follow SEGA rules. There is no NHRA style safety inspection per se, though most if not...
I hope he's working on slowing that car down some!
yep, thats exactly what I did. The ackerman angle didn't work out very well, but its a drag car with a spool so it's not gonna turn nice anyway...
It was rear steer when the pic was taken, falcon box in the original location when I was running the 302. When I changed to the cleveland, there...
Nice work, weld looks great too. My falcon is 54" flange to flange, tires stick out just a little and fit nice with the stock inner fenders....
I can't wait to whoop you in B/gas next year!
I was so bummed to see you break Mike, glad it's a cheap/easy fix. Hope to see you make some good runs at Shadyside.
Glad to see you're making good progress Mike, the wagon is looking good.
Money is a big variable, depends on the talents/capabilities/experience of the car owner/driver. Quain will tell you it takes some money, but you...
the cylinder head rules are a problem for the 385 series ford. The allowable heads aren't as good as the BBC allowed heads. But the next step up...
general ET's to win each class - 5.40's for A/G, 5.80's for B/G, and 6.20's for C/G. Super stock is 7.0, 7.10's. I'll tell you, no class is...
No sponsor deal with Fulton, he's just an excellent engine builder and is fairly local to many of the racers. Fulton and PAR are big names that...
I realize you may be just kidding, but he's actually a really nice guy.

if you're asking me, yes I'll be in KY putting this new Huff motor to work.
looking good Mike!
to be competitive in B/G you need to be deep into the 9's (if you convert 1/8 mile ET to 1/4 mile ET). SEGA races first to the line, time slips...
