I am like the class clown here huh. :lol:

OK something of an update but only ran the ball up the middle for a 4 yard gain I'd call it. But it's some progress.

--Pistons are back and skirts coated
--New oversized pins are in
--Crank is being keyed and the bad snout has been repaired, should be on its way back from Marine Crankshaft soon
--Oil pump rebuilt and dyno'd and en route back
--Larger Braswell carb arrived and once final engine specs (cubes could change) I will have it sent to Braswell for freshening and road race float install
--New Dart main caps - they are out of stock or something so Mike is waiting for those to arrive so he can get working on the block

Should have my hands on the control arms from Jake on Friday. Looking fwd to that and starting to get things laid out for mock up then off to powdercoat.

:lateral:

Brett,

That's the highest profile, most expertly carried out snub I've ever seen.
Glad you like it. :D

A little back story... IIRC the snubber wasn't played much by the snubbee. I'm guessing that's what that was about.

It's going to work out fantastically just as soon as I back charge Charley (and then try to collect)...


Funny how these race cars actually cost real money.

Flash68 12-04-2012 11:16 PM

This thread is just gettin started.

All remaining parts needed are shipped from manufacturers to Watson.... he should have everything by end of this week and can start working his magic.

Hopefully it results in a Sideoiler Killer.

He agreed on a reasonable target for a motor completion and dyno by end of January ... assuming no more hold ups or red flags.

He kinda liked our idea (Our being Rob and me... well, mostly Rob) of running 2 different ignition setups like Nascar does... only not for the same purpose.... our purpose would be to switch from Tune A (pump gas) to Tune B (Sideoiler Killer) with the toggle switch. I thought it would be a cool idea.
