Snagged my big dumb ear last night under the white car on a big screw when I was trying to clean the underside ..
Kicked a screwdriver out the door like field goal kicker , think it landed in Lincoln county
Hurt and bled for about an hour

Racers is dumber. How do you like the Gerst front end? I looked at them at the Indy Cylinder Head show. Looked very nice.

Front end is on and nice , Carl is a good dude ..really cleaned up the nose on the car ..
And, it needed the Wilwoods, so win/win ..
I had sold the driveline out of the car, hence the need for all new
It is a nice motor , made 600 hp and 600 tq ..
Flat tappet cam, out of the box victor heads , typical stuff
It stopped making power at 6300 so, I figured I would gear it so it didn't buzz it too hard ..should be fun
I expect mid 10's

Very annoying to spring a leak when trying to get 'stuff' done. I had that happen yesterday. Hate to get the red stuff on my nice, shiny parts. As usual, had no idea how it happened. Snagged my big dumb ear last night under the white car on a big screw when I was trying to clean the underside ..

Plopped the driveline in today, everything fell in place without a fight.. should be able to finish up most of the changes by next week
Going to try to get the paint fixed yet .. race season here looks to be delayed by weather until the end of May

Most likely it will be just boring white .. I have big ideas but, I doubt it will get done that way The paint on it is great from about 19.2 feet .. Thanks

ANYTHING but a Chevy cowl hood....Just ruins the overall look of a Mopar. An R0 scoop will give it all the air it needs, and even if the car is a millionth of a second slower due to the scoop the coolness points for keeping it all Mopar way more than makes up for it IMO.

Looking good. I'm planning on a solid paint color, myself. More street look. On the right side of the water pump, it looks like a return line, or maybe a temp sensor wiring, goes close to where the head is bolted down. Hope it's just an illusion?
