ready to put back in frame tomorrow

 

Looking good, Carl. Lotsa WORK for lotsa FUN!

 

Sounds like my kind of girl?

 

Ah Yesssss

 

Are those head bolts instead of studs and nuts?

 

Looking forward to seeing'er (you too, of course) in person once again.

You may want to snug up that belt a smidge, though.

 

yep

 

By the color, I'd guess grade 8.

 

yep.....too cheap to buy ARP...........hell its only 50lbs of torque and with the block filled and retapped longer the bolts are longer than stock................besides Henry used bolts on his................
the new pipes are kinda growing on me...............

There is nothing on your FED that needs "growing". It's perfect in every way. JMHO.

 

Well that's gonna suck........(hope so)

 

Humm whats this mean, except for filthy shoes????

 

It either means you're filling it with oil or the photo is wrong way 'round and your car is upside down on top of an oil bottle.

 

That seems logical from a "down under" point of view. Then again, knowing Carl either way could be possible.

 

Oh Oh after weeks of 10-12 hr days...............

 

Congrats!!!! Sounds great.

 

Well done Carl, sounds real nice! I love your approach to building stuff, doing everything by yourself instead of farming it out. Hope this one runs for a long, fast time!

 

Thanks all but I'm just an ol fart re- livin my teenage years over, and too cheap to have shit done by someone else when I can do it myself.................besides all I have now is time, not money, glad I don't have to pay myself.........

 

Still pissing off the neighborhood at your age!? Damn proud of you old guys. Much respect!!!

Way to go Carl! Good Job, as always! And per Fred at 8:44... (Sounds like it was runnin'n on all 8) ????????
Rib Fred a lil! Just teasing....... ask why there's 3 pipes, but 8 cyls.......

 

don't wanna rib Fred too much he is still gettin over putting his altered into the wall.............................

 

That was not a good day.

 

Amen to that Tom.....................

 

Definitely not a fun pass to watch. Just good to be able to talk with him after and know he was alright.

 

Yea it was a bad one all right, he is through racing now though and wants to sell the altered, wish I could afford it would love the engine in the FED, if interested 15k..............

 

well guess I really don't like the crancase vent canister so what to do...... buy one or build one.......
