Both the Jrs are just about ready. Didn't really need to do much to em this winter.

However, for the first time since 2011 it looks like I will be able to get my charger back out. Have a trip to Summit Racing planned for Thurs evening to get the rest of what we need to get everything ready and with any luck I can 3 of the 4 cars out for the spring warm up on the 18th.

Not....Bit off more than I could chew, add hernia surgery to that, and I may not make it....at least with none of my junk. I need a hood, coil overs, push rods, convertor, dyno time. The hood is my biggest problem at the moment. Off on short term disability and I have not seen a single dime yet.

Going to have to run my engine builders 69 Hemi Barracuda instead....I like the wheelies it does, so that's a plus....




Those big dumb wheelies are overrated! Sure they are fun, but expensive as well.

New Ron's fuel pump should be here in the next couple of days, drain antifreeze and fill with distilled water, nut and bolt everything underneath, tag truck and trailer, and finish Raceral's tranny for his Satellite when the rest of the parts come in. Getting the bug bad now that its warming up. Beep

Engine is dummied in the new small tire car and I'm waiting on a call to deliver it to get headers made.




Checked main bearing clearance and installed the crank in my 408 today and got the thrust bearing clearance set. This one will be done this week and ready to go in my bracket car. I also dropped off the parts to get the assembly balanced for the 360 I am building for Matts Duster. Should be going together next week.




1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I have Friday off. Putting the 64 on the hoist. Pulling the trans to inspect and adding a new super sprag. The stock 65 part has survived but now that the 60 ft has dropped into the 1.2X it's days are probably numbered especially w/o a LBA valve body. Going to pull the pan check the bearings. pop the rear end cover and inspect the gear. Hopefully the rest hangs together until the fall for a 300 pass freshen up.

Oh ya the Cummins needs a head gasket
