Here are the secret spy photos of the shop of the Ugly Aries. After 1000's of passes, the mule motor is out and the new 470 is ready.

As you can see Charlie needed to get out of the house. Knowing what I know now the mule motor would have been gone through and put back in the car as that combo in the car worked well. Still may happen , will just have to see how the new combo does.

Wheelbase on the car is 100". Previous owner went a best of 8.60's with the car at over 152. My slow setup went a best of 9.65 at over 137 with no issues.

Vernmotor does know the previous owner and I'm sure he can tell you how the car handles.

Eagle crank, rods with SRP flat top pistons (CR 11.4 to 1) Comp cams roller 661 lift with 270 duration @ .50. SR MW heads with a mild port and bowl blend with a 850dp on E-85. Should run 9.20's - 9.30's. Hope the car is as consistent as the old 590 combo was.

It's easy being a shut-in in the winter when it's in a heated garage playing with man toys.

No handling issues on top. Rear end is a 9" Ford with 4.56 gears. Ladder bars with strange double adjustable shocks. Tires are Goodyear 14x32.
