like I said, Im VERY pleased with what Jeff had done. the dyno was done at Powerline Performance near Chippewa Falls. as of now, the motor is painted and almost all the details are done. the goal is to get the motor in the car this weekend. the only thing im waiting on is the transmision to get a little work done. Im certainly lost when it comes to trannys.. better hired done for me.

Did you have Jeff from Wheelers do your engine? He's doing our max wedge right now.
what the heck ryan, I didn't know your doing a maxie car! but then again, theres a lot I dont know haha. whats the story on that?
It's a '63 Dodge 440 Max Wedge clone. White w/ red stripe and interior. It should be pretty cool when done. We had bought a '62 Fury convertible from Buzz. He claimed it was a real MW and I tried to convince him it wasn't after I did alot of investigation into it. We bought it anyway because it was completely rust free and the engine in it was a '62 vintage 413 with high compression, real max wedge heads, a stage II intake and stage III carbs. We did the body and paint in our own shop and had all of the stainless restored. It was basically ready for assembly, but ultimately, we really wanted a hardtop. Long story short, we sold the Fury and bought the Dodge. We kept the engine out of the Fury to use in the Dodge, but we are having Jeff at Wheeler Racing Engines build a 440 using all of the MW stuff instead of the 413. Hope to have it done by next spring. If you know anyone that would like a nice 413 short block let me know;). Also, the GTX should be in the December issue of MCG.

Here is Kevins carb. Scott Smith did the restoration. I snapped a pic after I did some mods to support the bump in power output.

Here is a pic of the shortblock. It gives a good illustration of a stroked SB. You almost need binoculars to see the piston at BDC.

So whats the "extra speed secrets"? Inquiring minds want to know. Motor seems like its making some damn good steam, I think thats about optimum cubic inch for this style motor. I think it should tickle the 11's no problem.
On a side note, how's your motor Jeff? No pm, no call...

Well I hope to see both cars at an event this year? Kevin, your doing great work. Its gonna be a heavy car, but if you have any need for an 11 sec. time slip, your chance would be this fall. Either MIR or Cecil. All us smallblock guys will help you out as much as possible. If you need tuning stuff for that 71 carb, I have a ton of jets and rods for those.

I tried like heck last night to get pictures uploaded onto my grandmas computer with no success. after an hour, I finally got them onto the computer then when it came to resize them, it wouldn't let me after many attempts. where the car stands now is it has the motor in it and for the most part everything is hooked up and the motor turns over (havn't really tried to start it yet) I have a few electrical bugs to work out and hopefully this weekend, the front clip and glass will go in. after that, interior. Im obtamistic it wont take long from this point. I have a lot of pictures to share once I get a chance to get them up.
