Congratulations, that's something to really be proud of!!:thumbsup:
Very nice car!! I really like what you've done with it!!! (just ditch the Jimmy Carter carburetor):D
Glad to hear the car is doing good!!!!!!:thumbsup:
Hmmm....ol boy must have had it backwards, one of them needs more machine work than the other so i'ts something to consider when purchasing....
Yeah, I talked with an NHRA guy the other day about those new boss blocks......ford svo blocks have been known for there lack of machine work, i'm...
they are only raised like .125 inch, that's not much. The 6208 headers will work with an 8.2 deck block w/ victor jr's in a stock suspension...
Not to be smart ass but my setup was stronger than a roush 347, unless he's putting them together with good blocks these days. I think i'll stay...
I never let out of it on that pass Rick, however, some have told me that the sixty foot is a little slow for a 6.0 pass. I think your closer then...
I've seen that picture about a million times, I think that the crank let go and took the block with it. It appears that they were using stock...
Here's the timeslip for the fastest time to date....This was at 3178 lbs., they had just weighed us. That's about 225 lbs of lead to make weight....
When I went with the solid roller it picked the car up to a 6.83 in the 1/8th.
Usually it was a 250 shot. This motor had low mileage, probably no more than 5,000 total miles and probably several hundred runs down the...
I've always been a doubter when people have told me that the stock blocks are real weak and they will not handle much power. Now i'm a...
My 347 w/ vic Jr. heads went a 7.20 in the 1/8th with a .544 I/.573E hydraulic roller cam w/ 10.5:1 compression. I don't think you'll have a...
I know what you mean Dennis, I setup one of those 8.8" for a friend and I swore i'd never do it again........much rather setup a 9".
All I can say is my 9" is heavier than the 8.8 I have sitting in my basement.....maybe my scales are off........
Believe it, the 8.8 is a lighter, more efficient rear end than a 9". One of the reasons it can be made so strong is that the "center chunk" is...
Just a little FYI, here's the hooker 6208 thread, this should give you a better idea of how they fit........
You see ALOT more fuel injected turbo/supercharger applications......I wonder why that is??
So with all the above being said, If I had it to do over again I would probably have built a 351W stroker and said goodbye to the shock towers. I...
