Well folks droped race engine #1 into Blue Thunder today gotter all bolted up to the Tranny and to the motor mounts ,i figure 4 to 6 more hrs and the nitros and everything else to make it run will be done ,ready to fire it up . So i said i would get 500 hp out of a 347 stroker and with a few ajustment i will . So my next prediction is 11:10 to 11:20 ,maybe lower on pump gas in the quarter mile . So now your all going to just have yo wait for my track to open up to see if im right again ,stay tuned folks ,lol cheers Jimmy
wait ago Jimmy.Just waiting to see how it runs in the car.lots of test and tune to get all the chassie and engine tuned in EHHHHHHHH.Good luck You have a PM
I think you can expect better times than what you are looking at. Did you get a roll bar in the car yet?
Yellow75 ,she has always had a 8 point cage in it, it is street legal but barely,i wouldnt drive it more than 30 mile ,point a to point b on the street. Its 75% race car ,25 % street car. Im building the 69.5 5 speed for a little more street friendly car.
And all *I* managed to do this winter was a lousy TUNE-UP... Gosh, you're a little busy bee aren'cha??? With that stable of project cars you've picked up and what looks like promising progress on the stroker you've had a pretty productive WINTER... looks like the car will be ready for SPRING... and I hope the SPRINGS can take all that POWER... I know... you're just all excited about going to PINKS and you - understandably - want to make a good show. Motor looks awesome... can't wait to 'hear it'.... WHisky

I thought it had but could not remember from when I looked at the car. I know it should have had one from the times it used to turn.
