I think that might look kinda cool

I just realized I hadn’t updated this thread...... I must be getting old!


Motor dyno’d and is shipped back to SpeedTech already.

This is a proven combination of parts etc — seems Brian Finch - Chris Smith (Smitty) - and I have the same basic motor. Smitty and I have the same exact cams even and his dyno’d the day after mine — Here’s the dyno sheet.


THIS is not the final dyno sheet — it actually made 666.7 when final tuning was done

The body has been painted — most of the mechanicals re-installed and now waiting on the motor to arrive......

NOTE the nice work SpeedTech did around the taillights — if you remember from my YouTube video about the crappy work on the body that Ron Sutton and crew did.... the taillights were barely even attached (maybe a Sheetrock screw holding them) — and the holes they’d cut looked like they used hedge shears..... WAY BETTER NOW!!

Yeah — I suppose I should have posted up that data Austin....


#RonSuttonRaceWannabeBuilder —- 2 gallons per 3 laps

#KurtUrbanSDRaceShopMowerMotors — TBD


Bets being taken now. Odds are - I keep all the bets.

Funny enough I bet one "engine" builder will tell you how great it "is"
The other wont say much of s@#t and let you figure it out on you own
Weird how sometimes your work can speak for you .
Nice dyno sheet btw

Fact Austin!!

SpeedTech is moving forward constantly —- no moss growing under their feet!!

Motor came back from Scoggins-Dickey and it was back in the chassis the next day - with some additional modifications to make things better. They moved the engine forward just a bit to get better clearances between it and the firewall. And made the motor plate work with the new Comp Cams front cover —- and added some more connection points to hold the motor. Suttons crew had it hanging on 4 10mm bolts holding the water pump....
