OT: Nice 69 in your sig! You think Big Red is running a factory spoiler @ 200 mph?

Thanks Ronnie.... Yeah, Big Red...can't go wrong there...

And Big Red can run whatever spoiler it wants. It can't not go fast.

They are a top notch machine shop for as far back as i can remember, my family lived in that hood for 40+ years. I dont know them personally, but they did the machine work on my engine for my boat through a machine shop.....

Do they dyno and tune?

Mike Blackstone (Watson Racing) has known Rick Santos (S&S) a very long and Rick is one of the few guys Mike trusts in the bay area. Mike has a dyno but because mine will run E85 he prefers to dyno it over at Rick's since his fuel system is more beefed up and set up for a lot of the alcohol motors they do over there. Makes no diff to me. I am in good hands.

Carb or EFI size in CFM
Compression ratio
Rod length 6.0" or ?
Are the heads SB2 or SB2.2
Are the cylinder head intake runners 286cc or different ?
Header primary diameter & length
Collector diameter & length
Cam degreed at ???
Is cam a roller or big lifter flat tappet?
Also: Is this a 4.4" or 4.5" bore center block & head combo?


If you don't have it all, just get me what you can.

Carb is Holley HP950, but as you know Ron, factory ratings (especially Holley) are not reliable with respect to cfm.

Compression is 13:1

6.0" rods

Heads are SB2.2 worked by Curtis Boggs @ RFD in Virginia. I am guessing you know of him or have heard of him. Peak is 410-420 cfm at .900 but around 395-400 at .700 closer to where my cam net lift ends up. Low and mid lift numbers are strong. The work done was intended for road race (vs the Nascar CNC programs) and not max hp at high rpm.

Header is stepped 1-3/4 to 1-7/8 to 2.... 3.5 collector. Do not have length. It is a Profab Nascar type take off I believe.

Do not know cam degree number.

Cam solid roller.

Block is Dart Little M -- not a Bowtie/SB2 block.... so that must make it 4.4" I am guessing.

Thank you! Me too.

That's great DG all you had to do was tell Ron look back at last Octobers posts for engine specs.

Any real updates?

And the car is one the ground off the lift for the first time in probably 6 months. That's always a step forward.

Now that's a real update!

Thanks Ronster. Real updates are fun when they happen.

I like those.. pretty optimistic I think... but I'd take your guesses over Rob's.

My guess is 790 hp @ 6800 and 625 ft lbs @ 6000.

No wonder yer phone has been ringing non-stop. ³

Rich has been working on the fuel cell cage and I am really happy with how it's turning out. Just needs some top bars/straps and powdercoating. I gave Rich the "blueprints" for the cage found in Circle Track magazine. It uses about 50 feet of 1x1 square tubing. Heavy and a little overkill but about as safe as I can get I figure.

And I thought the front of my car had stupid amounts of camber when I was looking at it the other day. BMF looks nothing but serious business now. And those wheels... I kind of really want some now.

Well this is only 2.5* actually, which is what Jake specs for my setup. I don't consider that too extreme. But maybe that's part of my problem... since I don't consider this car too extreme.
