Yeah, thought about that. To be honest I just want something that'll go rounds and have fun with whatever ET it runs.....With bracket racing I like to leave first and that would really be the advantage of such a small car that'll be a very small target to chase to the stripe in the 1/8th mile....I'll probably see how fast it'll go and then back it off a couple tenths with a Vac secondary and try to make it as consistent as a swiss watch.

For sure I got an easy 600hp crank and rods in a 450-ish motor, that's ok though cuase it's an interesting combo...if I want to turn up the wick I'll find a real 340 block and just buy slugs and maybe caps then.

Mocked up the oil pump and pan....naturally the big fat rods required knocking down the pump pick up boss with the ol' handy mini side grinder. I went low buck using a rear sump truck pan, i thought about building a scraper for it but the main problem of starvation under a high G launch is solved with the truck pan.....nice to not have to worry about a big ol honkin K frame for a change!!!
