hate to sound like your mom or the safety police but you sit behind a blown big block with an open face helmet and no nomex? ever been to a burn unit hospital before?

 

I had nomex on and safety glasses. Full one piece suet and a jacket with nomex under keeps me warm. Thanks for your concern and your hospital comment

 

my bad. i thought i saw bare skin under that helmet. glad to hear you're covered up.

Tony here from the mile. I had to go with steel shim head gasket on my bbc. I am running 210psi of cranking pressure 12-1 static compression. The shim gaskets are .020 thick so they will raise your static compression a little. I have run my motor up to 8000rpm and these gaskets have held strong for me when the felpro's like yours failed. Hope this helps.

 

Bottom line: You're a true hot rod hero. And it'll be even better, next time... congrats.

 

#8 piston looks soso. How do the heads look?

 

Damn Larry - been outta town - CONGRATS on the pass. Sweet man, can't wait to see ya in Austin.
Good for you.

 

We have a spare blower motor over here that will bolt in yer car.......ready to rock.

Wow what a offer Thank you so much. I should be getting my motor together soon waiting on gaskets now. Have two people coming by to look the motor over see if I missed something.

Thanks again Larry W

Man, Sorry about the motor at least wasn't too serious. Good luck in October, wherein I am guessing you will do 162.7, by the way the my guess was 151.2. What's my prize for calculating the closest time?

 

Next time you go i may just load up and go watch ya.... I only got a glimpse at see you run at the Thaw cause for some damn reason i was busy.... Congrats on 151...and here's to 200 in October.

 

Way to go! Glad you're safe.
