I wonder if he's welding the oil hole for the pushrods. I don't think I'd want any welding done on the body.

Did he explain the "excess windage" comment? Do the Bamm's have a passage axle oiling?

I wish I knew someone who was there, I'd love to have a Hemi Challenge cap. First pair in the box now.

Come on John, let this crap go. Life is too short to be bitter.

Call Smith Brothers and pick their brains.

I think you need better pushrods. My Indy headed small block has terrible pushrod angle, stout springs and I've never bent a pushrod.

Because that kid didn't put him in the wall or bump him out of the way. Torrence was being his entitled self that day.

And he should've had his whistle knocked loose.

Torrence is a brat.

76% humidity is low here for this time of the year.

Looks like you got some of that good east coast air. Nice pass.

I had to turn down about 3/4" on one of my 5/8" sockets to use on my Indy small block heads.

Did you inspect the driveshaft for dents or missing weights? I agree with others, if it was fine before and just started your slicks need re balancing.

Dyno numbers are overrated. :rofl:

I have an old 9” Southbend lathe and a small horizontal mill probably from the 20’s in my shop. Handy tools.

Come on Mean416, EVERYONE on this site knows dynos are the spawn of the devil, aren't accurate and can be manipulated to show huge numbers, so the owner can get on the internet and brag! Now flow benches, they are the gospel, no one on the internet would inflate their flow numbers. :rofl...

The boost guys will like the new block. It seems I read somewhere years ago that the R1’s were around 240#, about the same as a 400 block.

Yes, the dual plane slipped my mind, sorry.

The early 340’s didn’t have Thermoquads. I’m thinking 71 was the first year for them.

The later thermoquad equipped engines did. One of the tricks I remember guys with the early 340 doing was installing the 750 AVS off a 440 on them, they always went faster.

When I was in the building my 434 Brett Miller told me to go Dominator on a Dominator flanged intake. He also told me to not use an adapter on a 4150 intake, just stay with a 4150.

Don't the crew chiefs have a box so they pop the chutes if something goes wrong? My wife watched the video with me and was amazed he wasn't killed. Prayers for a speedy recovery

I understand, you said “That website is STILL TAKING MONEY for the July race even though it's been cancelled! People are calling the track and demanding their money back.” I was merely point out they showed as canceled.

It's not hard to decipher, just a line instead of a chart.

On the NPK web site it shows the race at Xtreme as "cancelled".

If I were the OP I'd go with 4.10's. When my dart had the 340 (apples to oranges I know) I went from a 3.91 to a 4.30 it only picked up .007 and that was in 60'. I like 1/8 mile racing but would like to run my car in the 1/4 again, in good air this time. It ran 10.008 At 134.74 in less than...

You had fun and didn't break anything, so it was a good outing. What were your 1/8 mile numbers?
