Moparx,
I borrowed the photos from Bob Brehm's facebook page. Bob is the best amateur automotive event photographer in the mid-west!
Bob was a school friend of Doug, KSJ's brother, and he told me at Drag Week that KSJ's only redeeming quality was that he introduced Bob to 69 lawndart!
I have to agree KSJ has an innate knack of introducing cool people to other cool people!! While he is definitely not in that club, he serves as a kind of Social honey bee. well, regardless if you borrowed those pics, i'm glad you did billy. i have tried a couple of different ways to attach dog dish caps to different wheels with varying results always using the original "snap on" method of retention. my old, cloudy mind never gave it a thought to use a retention screw method, and i just looked at a cap laying around and concluded a nice flat head or button head 8 or 10-32 stainless screw would work perfect for what needs to be done and not be easily observed. so in the end, all you guys helped my old mind with a good kick start.  and i am very appreciative of all you guys ! thanks again billy for getting this ball rolling and allowing me to obtain the info i was seeking !

That is not in the owners possession apparently still at Ritters....

I pulled it last Friday to look it over. It looks Ok, its not great and it not bad, on three of the rod bearing the coating looks like it flaked off on the top of the bearing. The main bearings look good, cam bearing are showing some wear but that's expected with the spring pressures and RPM I am running. Piston skirts looked good nothing to be worried about.

Latest up date, I pulled the motor out of the car it has about4300 miles on it with no problems. Right now it is sitting on a Dyno and we have made 11 pulls, the numbers are not that great but we will keep working on it. the oil pressure is great and it is giving us no sign of problems. Did you find any power with what you tried on the dyno? Is it up to your expectations, or will you be looking for more when it goes back together?
