On my 512 the starter clearance was like 1/8" of an inch. Bought some lava wrap took it apart and the put it over the areas in question and between the starter. Its been that way for 8 seasons. No issues. But I was very concerned when I got the headers.

For me I could never get a Hurst or B&M shifter to wk without melting the cable. This was back in the late 80's. Put in a turbo action and have never had an issue. Same shifter and cable going on 38 yrs now.

Correct, the AR Engineering plate is too thick. My options are going to be space out the bracket or mill some off the plate where the bracket hits. Just wanted to see what people did or is best approach.

No problem with my water pump its fitting the motor plate behind the front drive distributor.

For those that use a jesel front drive distributor and a AR Engineering motor plate. What did did you do to get the plate to fit. By that I mean once gaskets are on the plate it will not fit behind the front drive. Did you spot race the rear of the plate or space the front drive bracket. Just...

Just did exactly that Doug. Bubba was great to work with. Picked converter last week. Won't know how it works until next summer some time. I know a few friends running one and they ar very pleased with the performance.

I have to agree with Doug and others about Lightning Carbs. Mark straightened out my E85 1050. Before he worked on it I couldn't even get the wagon to leave the line. Mark had me bring my carb to him while I was wintering in Florida. I figured I would drop it off go over the problems and pick...

5500 is where it runs the fastest. Both in the 1/8th and 1/4. In the 1/4 I was crossing the stripe right at 5950-6000. The old girl is pretty much all out. of steam at 5800. That's with the taller tires. With the PBR's its closer to 6300.

It would be real close. At Norwalk ran a 7.01 in the 1/8 and a 11.049 in the 1/4 at a almost 122.mph. One problem I run into is when I run the 1/4 I have to switch to bias ply slicks that are 29.5 tall vs the Mickey PBR's which are 28" tall. The 60' suffers a little and its usually 1.53-1.54.

Thats me Lol. People are looking at me like I'm nuts. I get it to 180 when I'm one car back from entering the water box, turn on the fans do my burn out, temp is down to 175 as I stage, fans off and then race. Hits 180 at the line and fans back on. Temp is 165 when I pick up the ticket.

I'll post some more photos. The combo is nothing special but it works well and is fun to drive and race. 400 block with a 44Source 4.25 crank and rods. Pistons are Diamond. I run unported Edelbrock Performer heads. Nick Wilson corrected the valve job. Compression is 11.5. Cam is by Comp...

Slowly but surely getting a hang of the E85. Figured out it likes heat in order to be consistent. Wants to be close to 180 at the line. When it is its pretty much prints tickets. Last week 6.983, 6.986, 6.983 and a 6.983. This weekend 6.97 off the trailer then 6.960, 6.955 and a 6.96. Now if the...

Oh, didn't know you had a third peddle. Yeah lots of fun but! Maybe talk to some of the guys that run UMTR and see what they say.

That happened to my brother. Was pretty ugly. Are you planning on sticking with the 8 3/4 or going to a dana? Due to weight of my wagon I sold off the 8 3/4 when I was building it and got a S60 from strange. I'm at 4120 and I'm sure you're probably only a couple 100lbs lighter. Look forward to...

That sucks. You must have been at Mag. I'll be there tomorrow. Were you running a 8 3/4?

553, the crank is a callies 4.35. The crank was ordered by a shop in California back in 2006 and sat on a shelf till I picked it up 2 yrs ago. Had never even been unwrapped.

Yes it is. KB block, 572-13 heads. It will go in my Cuda.

My KB wedge is finally nearing completion. Should be on the dyno in a couple weeks. I can't thank Todd Marsh enough for getting it to this point.
