Very nice John.....




Thanks Todd. I did a lot of upgrades to the car this year while waiting to get the Daytona in the body shop. Matt wanted the 360 that we ran last year for his car so I built a new 408 for this year. Some of the upgrades were changing the car to a powerglide, fitting the adapter plate, new tranny mount, shifter, drive shaft, new set of double adjustable ladder bars, rewired the car and added a racepak and dash, new fuel pump and lines from cell to carb. The new engine sounded and felt great on the warm up road but on its first pass my BG regulator stuck open and sent 22# of fuel pressure through the engine. I thought for sure it washed the rings as it sounded and ran like crap for a couple of test sessions. With the info from the racepak we finally turned things around.
