We still need to do some tweaking on the motor, we're using a borrowed distributor and the trans has some issues that we'll look at tomorrow.. but finally got most of the bugs out of the motor and she's starting to sound pretty good..

Thanks guys.. its been a long and expensive build... nothing has gone right, but with a little help from family.. friends and most importantly... from several people here on Moparts.. the build is coming to an end and it wont be long before we get the car out to the track to see what she can do..

That's funny Jay..

I think Al needs some software he was looking at during the Vegas Race..

The one I bought..

I think he got a Go-Pro last year...

The cnc program Jeff used, I think he claims something like 415 @ .700, I've had them on two other benches and they read in at 425 and 445... So my answer is somewhere over 400 cfm

I am officially not going to make the SCSN race.. Myself, my son and several friends have busted butt these last few weeks trying to get the car ready, but this last weekend was the final nail..

The trans is not pumping fluid around, so it will be dropped off at the trans shop today to see what happened during its rebuild..

This still leaves Thanksgiving race as a possibility... We'll either head into Vegas for their 4 days of racing.. or we'll stay home and hit the 1 day race at our local track... Still keeping all options open..

Sounds great! On your first day to the track YOU better wear a diaper. If it runs as good as it should you are going to soil your new driving suit!

Good luck with it Don. Hopefully see ya at the track on the 25th.

After hearing and watching that video there is no way I will have those nasty old Indy 440-1 heads on my 572 when the I get the Daytona running again. The B1's will be coming off the shelf.
