Looks great.
I’ve got a brand new set from Dale Cubic. If your ever at Martin it’d be an interesting comparison if you want to try them at some point.

65' Satellite (girl tranny)

Are those Main bodies cast or billet? It is hard to tell from the pictures. I am bringing it up now so you dont end up in a pissing contest later. If they are BLP BX4 main bodies they're billet.

I was just going to wait until I had Doug in the finals to tell him they were illegal lol....
Honestly though... I think it is a silly rule. Don't see the advantage and most people wouldn't even be able to tell.
Thanks, Casey FJ

So does the manufacturer also come into play here? Must be produced by one listed?

VERY well done, looks nice, I like that the shafts are splined , on my 8 stack linkage they are not & they have slipped once, so I had to loctite them.

There is a pop off valve between the carbs. It popped once do to improper starting procedure. Never in 7 years since. There are no modifications to the intake. Power wise the Eddys with the crossram seemed very close. The closest motor to mine that I can think of was David Ross Charger. 572 from Best Engines with similar cam and compression. Dominator, 14x32 with a brake at I believe 3000lbs? 8.8x. Mine has been 9.00@3350 Doug

Looks good Doug!...you have any help? LOL I think the rules need revisiting. That rule may be written to maintain a 'nostalgic' appearance? There is no advantage using that body against the others available that are 'legal' when index racing. Based solely on 'nostalgic' appearance, your car fits that standard better than MOST that I have seen INCLUDING the appearance of the engine. Where would you draw the lines in that 'argument'? ...vacuum pumps, electric water pumps and fans aren't nostalgic but they are legal. Walk up to your car, and IT LOOKS NOSTALGIC! Pull the hood off, and IT LOOKS NOSTALGIC! Open your door, and IT LOOKS NOSTALGIC! Now if it had a sheet manifold, tin seats and Alumistars...not so much IMO. But those are legal?
