Oh no! No street anything in this build. No headlights... no signals... VIN... Title... insurance... no pump gas... It's a track car for sure. I like it that way. Not to mention I'm not driving around any cones! I've chased enough of those damn orange things!! If I had to drive around them - they'd have to completely re-set the entire track after every lap!! LOL

Ouch, it didn't sound good on the day.

No it didn't did it Greg. Motors aren't supposed to be making knocking noises! Rowdy as they may be... That metal thumping isn't "music" - unless you're a rebuilder!!! Then that's the sound of money!! LOL

Kinda takes the track out of the title"track car". Bummer.

How many hp?

The current 356 cubic inch Ford has been making 590 HP... on 110 octane race gas. It's pretty rumpity.... and revs super quick. Nice motor - that just has issues. Sometimes it's just something stupid that doesn't get caught during the build. Thus the new eyeballs this time around.

That is a healthy little chit.

What did Ron and the new engine builder say about that oil pressure?

I sent this dyno sheet to Tony Borello and asked him about the oil pressure..... But I just sent it today so don't expect a response yet.

The "quote" did list a new oil pump and pick up.... He also doesn't use Oliver rods - the current rods in the motor - and asked if it was okay to change them to Carrillo Rods and a stronger bolt... That added 2K to the build but I said sure... I want it to be a Borello motor... so whatever he wants to change is okay with me.

My build is about 8 years old
Don't track as much as I used to but
About 4 times a year. Run it to 7000 rpm
all the time. Oil pressure is 58-63psi all the time

Best motor it have ever had
Pontiac has motor #9 but some
were junkyard dogs

Mustang motor (Chet's car lasted me 11 track days

Builder says attention to detail is the thing
Good oil pan and cooler. I also run -10 supply out
of an aero motive pump with a -8 return. No starving
the motor ever even with a carb. Keeps the fuel cool
Only run 30% leaded gas to as my builder says lube the valves
On a 9.8 to 1 motor

Works for me. But as my buddy says I will never have a motor like it again

Wish you the best of luck on yours Greg
