I was going to pull my W-9 today to find a oil leak at the back of the engine.... well I decided to put my back up W-2 back in... its been a few years since I fired it but it all looks good and cranks over fine so I'll put it back in and maybe pull the W-9 down to give it a once over and see IF I can find some more power in it

If there is some more to be found I am sure you will find it!! 
Good to have a reliable back up engine on hand! Good luck with the swap. Don't forget to turn up the AC in the new shop, its AFRICA hot out there today!!

What CID is the W-2 engine?
What do you think the car will run with that engine?
Jim, its a 396ci and the last time in it ran 9.56
but that was with gas... I'm going to run it on E-85
this time

what is the weight of your car ready to race?
2410 race weight... it could use a bigger roller
but it is what it is
Ted, I'm done for the day... had to find a few things
before I could do anything... I'll start the swap in
the morning when its cooler

I have a smaller one of those and it works but its
sorta noisey and I have a hard time listening to the
stereo... tomorrow I will turn on my oscillating
fan... if it gets to hot... I'll quit

sounds like a good idea! It hit 94 yesterday here, and it was 95 today when i went to work. Keep some water on hand if you can, or go in the air and relax and drink, then go back out. That is what i do.

That is plenty fast. Not a big deal, IMO.

Hope the install and subsequent start up goes smoothly
