I am kinda surprised( as good a head as the P7 is, and cheap, relatively speaking) that nobody I am aware of has stuck them on that Ritter block that was built with the intention of having those heads on it. Maybe that block didn’t actually become available? Not sure. I know those heads were on...

cool deal! Nice job with those covers, they look nice

Nice, what’s the combo, car weight. Sweet looking piece!

Excellent my dear Watson, excellent :thumbsup:

I don’t want to disappoint ya by not showing up at Norwalk. You still coming?

Cloyes chain, double roller Crank looks great, rod and main bearings, oil pump, timing chain, gaskets, etc. Hope to put it back together in a few days with any luck. Anybody know specs on scat h beam rods with the 8740 cap screw bolts regards torque, and torque on main as well

I have a buddy doing most of the heavy lifting. Just have some things to sort out regards recent retirement and how that’s gonna look going forward regards racing budget, more than anything else.

Right now, if I get lucky and things go good, my goal is a couple local events, then Norwalk. 42 isn’t going to be in the cards, unfortunately. Would have really liked to do the rock n race , all my buddies will be there.

I have never seen deep staging allowed on a pro tree, that seems weird My business sponsored an 11.50 index class at the Norwalk Mopar race for a few years. 500 pro tree, footbrake only, no deep staging, and courtesy staging in effect, so you don’t get these guys driving in and turning on both...

Yes, light car and quick releasing brake helps. I am sure what the OP is looking to do will be on a 4tenths tree. Most anything 7.0 in the 1/8 or the 11.50 stuff is 5 tenths. 6.50 and 10.0 or faster is all 400 around here

Here is a complete engine ready to run. I have seen them a good bit cheaper DODGE R5 P7 RACE ENGINE – Circle Track Warehouse Inc.

I have only ever raced 400 pro tree stuff index racing, usually 10 flat. To me, big advantage if you are the faster car on a staggered pro tree because your more aware of when your side of the tree will pop based on his dialin and the difference.
