ooh shiny metal:drool:

The headers were chemically polished. Takes about 1/1000th off the pipe. Will turn kind of golden after some heat.

The headers would look sick even if it turn goldish. :thumbsup:

Also, how much torq that engine make? Any one?

Here's a video of the 565 on the dyno:

:D nuff said!! :thumbsup:

Wow that seemed like a very long run. If it will survive that, it will surely handle Charlies lite foot.

Are the results being released?

It is a very mild engine for being a 565" I think the hp was 575. I thought I had the dyno sheet on my computer but windows Vista has managed to make doing anything a pain in the ass. I emailed Kurt at W2W for the info. It has been over a year since it was done.

Man! that is going to be a sweet ride:thumbsup: Keep us updated.

Tq was 594@4500 and hp was 569@5600. Nice torque engine. I will email Scott the dyno scans to post.

I guess you can shread the tire easy. :D

was the motor tuned for drive ability or just a number?
looks good!!!

How does this compare to the old motor...power wise?

Does The Mule need a driver for HRPT? ;)

I'm sure they made it driveable and able to live on marginal gas. If they would have built it to make a number it would have made a lot more peak power.

It does have nice torque doesn't it? Over 570 lb/ft all the way to 5000 RPM.

Cool as usual Charley.

I'm not sure how it compares to the old engine. When I bought the car off Ebay the seller was saying the 532" was making 630 hp. Mark never had any real #'s for it. I would assume with the bigger crank it will make more than before so I have to assume it didn't make 630 hp before. I know I ran 12:15@122 starting out in second gear. I'm just a sucker for torque. This car never cares what gear you are in, it just pulls. I can't wait to have my old friend back.

i am not so sure.. i guess we will see how much tuning it needs. it does look awesome.!!!

I'm a big sucker for torque also, cool car and I sense she is your favorite. Looking forward to coming up for a ride some day.

It's a 9-1 compression engine so as before, it could probably run on beer without pinging.

You got any? I'm out.

Here are a few pics of the Carbon Fiber hood with paint. Looks absolutey amazing, Charley!!

I really really really really want one. :thumbsup:

Looks awesome!! Tell that guy to get off the phone, they have a car to assemble!! ;)

I'll try to get some updates as much as possible.... Power tour is coming up quick... :cheers:

Looks great, Joe! :thumbsup:

Motor sounds killer....!:yes:

We have engine, wiper motor, brake booster....Adding oil might be a bitch...

Sweetness!

We hve a gas tank....Thanks Rick's.......

I'm glad you're bringing her on Power Tour this year, Charlie. Me and a few other board members will be in Kalamazoo in June. When I saw it at W2W a few years ago, I thought I'd never get a chance to see it in person again. I think a lot of us (especially the '67 and '68 owners) have a soft spot for that car, and always will. I'm glad it has an owner that knows that a great thoroughbred would rather stretch her legs than sit in the stall and be pampered.

See ya on the 3rd. :thumbsup:

I sooooo Cant wait to see this thing in june! looking good. :thumbsup:

Yeah rub in the fact that I'll be sitting here in Oregon while once again you all have fun!! ;) Damn I love that car!!

that hood brings back memory's, i used to make hoods for the guy that ran in the scca in a miget except we used to put kevlar in the center because he liked the yellow and it kept it intackt when it flew off the car

Car looks good

But I can't believe Rick's would send out an un finished tank. They should have atleast taken some scotchbrite to it...

:question: have you seen the other stainless tanks made out there? Ricks is the nicest by far. Not sure what you mean by unfinished, his looks scotchbrited to me, none of the others are even close to an even finish.

Here's a pic of the competitions tank as received.

Charlie can't wait to see and hear her on the road! :thumbsup:

Man that doesn't hold a candle to Ricks! Thanks for the comparison pic Jody.

Those grind marks are all over their tanks, to grind down weld marks. I am not bashing the other company at all, I've used several of their tanks in the past. But I feel Ricks is far superior in the looks department, so was a bit confused by the earlier post.

My guess is that the last picture is a Rock Valley. I always just figured the shop boogered mine up putting it in.
