Thanks Mike. Yes, I was using that as a comparison to start with. One place wasn't bad. Shop cost is $85/hr

I've asked the question in the Regional threads...but I think people out here hide their machine and engine guys like fishermen hide their secret spots.
Morning .
The only real point is a reduction in power loss. I could see the gain on the drag strip, but beyond that, there’s no point.
So, last week we released another outboard. Supercharged V8 500hp
I think I’ll go pull that valve body for you over the weekend.I've asked the question in the Regional threads...but I think people out here hide their machine and engine guys like fishermen hide their secret spots.
If it's been sitting in the mud or totally farquaad, don't burn the cycles Chris.
No no no. All early k frames are the same...
but it's a 71 motor??
Just need early motor mounts. La engines stayed the same throughout its life. And Magnum fits as well.
Cool, I have 273 mounts already

After I put up that pic of Twig Zeigler's '33 this morning I got nostalgic since we saw him frequently at the nitro match races here in SoCal in the 70s and found
An hour long but very amusing to watch

Go to start buddy’s truck that we just put a fuel pump in. No go, started and stalled. Fuel pump quit. FFS!!
And its in my way.

And poly and hemi
By hemi i mean 3rd gen
no ****? i didn't know that... i figured they would have switched up by now
We had one a tech school that would pop some nice wheelies.
I used to build the rear axle and tcase for those. Some of the ones with the planetary axles have a final ratio of 128:1
not quite enough to drag my ex's fat *** around though
Somebody needs to put that in some kinda rod.
I think the 600hp v12 (also an outboard) would look great in a vintage indy car. Dry sump, oil drain back holes and adaperter it could lay down.
OMG!! that reminds me of a story. When I was in the Navy, I was TAD to a helicopter squadron, Sikorsky SH3H. To move those you attach a tow bar to the single rear wheel. And to tow them we used similar but different tow tractors, real heavy, real low geared, REAL LOW. And a ford 302 engine, with a governor . When I was in charge of the mid watch, a few of us hot rodders would get 4 or 5 tractors out on the apron, and remove the governors, and race them! now, they weren't real fast, BUT got rolling right now!! Any way, when finished put governors back on. WELL one day, a certain dick head lieutenant, was going to beat the rush and get a bird he was scheduled to fly, to the flight line early. He has no business moving the birds, AT ALL!!! He got on a tractor, one that everyone liked because it was just a little bit quicker then the rest. Hooked up the tow bar, to the rear wheel, Gunned it to take off. Well, someone forgot to put the governor back on. Off it goes, With the birds wheel firmaly attached to the tow bar, BUT no bird!! It had ripped off the wheel!!! OMG!! No more races after that!!! **** hits fan in a big way.
