I bet that sounded killer. No TCI Street Fighter converter for that combo

A friend of mine had one of the old Petty truck series engines on the shelf and for years I tried talking him into putting it into an old Pro-stock chassis he had in the shop with a Nash 5-speed. The chassis was originally set up with a Lenco so the conversion would be pretty easy. The way those engines scream it only makes sense to put one in front of a 5-speed box where it can stay up on the pipe during the run. Should be an awesome ride Gus

It is dry sump. Still has the circle track cam 740 lift not sure of duration. I had bought 2 engines. The 1st was for arringtons auction was in there office as a display had a lot of new parts but was just a propped up display. The 2nf i actually bought off here. Was complete except pistons. It was a old gasoline alley Wayne Jessel engine. I met a guy Danny Glad from Glad precision machine in virgina. Initially i was looking for parts but ended up having him do all the work. I had issues with my block and its now mostly Dannys parts. I don't think i could have built anything comparable for a better deal. What kind of issues did you have with the block?

I thought about filling the deck on my blocks, but decided against it. I've got two virgin early blocks that I am hoping to get started on this year some time
