Nope, I don't got to love them sbc's.... But a track that has cars running at 136 mph lap averages the middle of the turn must be like running on a vertical wall, and the straights would have banking like the turns in Bristol!!!!

At the ripe old age of 17 I set fast time there one night in a modified, 15.4!!!! How times change, the 360 sprints are running faster now!!!! Huset's has been a race track since the 50's and has so much rubber mixed in with the racing surface now that by feature time the track will slick off, then about half way through the main there's enough rubber on the track that you tune the chassis as you would a pavement car!!!! And use up a $250 right rear tire every feature!!!!!
12.6 in the 1/4 mile ? That's not fast enough for Dave . He want at Least a 9 sec car . Stop playing around Denny . :LOL: :LOL:
No, I WANT a 7.90 car.... Just haven't been able to put the right package together to attract a big enough sponsor....yet----Quote:

Heck, I'll race ya on a skateboard if I have to!!!!! If it goes so fast it almost sets your hair on fire I'm probably involved in it or trying to put a package together to try it!!!!! We run the Super Gas (9.90 class) drag racing, and a 10.90 class car. Got fired from my own circle burner team summer before last when I had a stroke on the way home from the races one night, and the Salt Flat car is partly on the chassis table but mostly on the drawing table... On the planning sheet is a tube chassis, 'glass Merc bodied Nostalgia racer... and in my spare time I build hot rods..... Finally, there are three or four other projects in various stages of planning and awaiting funding and/or partnership agreements.....Quote:

Just a matter of time management.... When I had the big shop, I was known to have 6 or 7 projects all going at the same time.... Much of what I do takes a lot of planning and research, so when a project gets to that point I move on to something else. Also while waiting on parts or letting welds cool or primer dry I work on something else. The Ranchero is on the chassis table, and only used for my own time, my version of a day off..... Because of some physical limitations I can't be on my feet for very long, well most of last week I would work on Tom's coupe when I was on my feet, when the pain sets in then I would get on my roll around seat and work on the sheet metal for the 'maro..... In the mornings and evenings I do my parts research, office stuff, and drafting table duties.... Nothing to it....Quote:

Just a bigger stroke in a 400 small block... Good for a bit more torque in a heavier car..... Most will require a small base circle cam, I believe....Quote:

my friend is doing a 468 now
what is a hd block if u dont mine me askin
Like a Dart or World block . The HD Blocks can be bored more and are stronger every were . You can spray them with NOS and not break them in half so easy . You would run rods that are made with clearances for large ci SB Builds . This is a high doller engines . A 434 short block kit with a Dart block will cost $4000.00 Bucks . :HMMM:Quote:

But I could build ( 4 ) 355s that could run 12s with that $10 Grand .Quote:

If not, if you're going to play, you're going to pay. How much you pay depends on how good a player you want to be!!!!
Aluminum block, billett crank and rods, small base circle roller cam and lifters...... doesn't take long.
