He died August 8, 2015 and was 55 years old. The link did not show correctly in my last post, but if you Google Nicholas F. Wilson in Medina Ohio his obituary should show. He and Mike Ross were good friends and I have a branch in Medina, Ohio. Medina is a small close knit town and very Norma...
Mike Ross at B/E/A Parts told me he was diabetic and in poor health. He was visiting his mother in a nursing home and died of a heart attack. It was in the summer maybe around July. He was one of the nicest guys to talk to and would go out of his way to help. His son used to help him, but I...
I just talked with Mike Ross at B,E and A parts (another really nice guy) and he is located in Medina Ohio where Nick Wilson lived. I have a branch in Medina, Ohio and it is a small close knit community. He told me That Nick had a heart attack while he visited his mother at a nursing home. He...
Super Turbo's are the quietest and Race Bullets are the loudest with the others in the middle. I have Super Turbo's (I think) and they are load with a 500 cid engine and headers and 3" exhaust.

It is much louder under load than my iPhone can capture since I had the engine rebuilt over the past winter. I can not explain it, but the same exhaust system for four years sounded great, but now it is obnoxiously loud after the rebuild.
No, but I did the spin the wheel and count the drive shaft spinning and it was over 4 turns as far as I could tell. It may be 3.91 but in any case I went with 3.55 gears from Moser. It is at the transmission shop and the case has not been opened yet. I will have to count the teeth or see if...
Engine is complete today, but needs dyno tuned after the transmission shop beefs up the 727 to handle the extra power and torque. Hopefully will have everything done within the next few weeks and then I have to decide on swapping the drums to discs...
I am dropping off my exhaust headers on Saturday since the guy re-plating them never showed last week. I have to ask him about the mains, but I do know he is using ARP bolts. The external balancer (?) is black and is graduated as far as I remember seeing. The heads are on the engine already...
I have to ask him about the main caps, but he built it strong for racing. I am not sure if he means 600 HP at the rear wheels or 600 HP at the crank. I assumed he meant at the crank since he never explicitly said 'at the rear wheels'. It hit 400 HP on his dyno two years ago with stock heads...
The Indy valve covers should be here on Tuesday and hopefully have the engine installed on the dyno by Christmas. The only thing about the engine build I do not care for too much is the external damper he put on the engine. He was worried about the high RPM's (4.10 gears) and the possibility...
Thanks, Ron. The valve covers look great on your engine. The engine builder did notice that the two sets of valve covers I have the lip interferes with the gasket. I ordered a third set this time from Indy. I will have to put my old ones on ebay and see if the the Indy ones are flat on the...
