Safety Car
A friend of mine has had one in his chevelle for a couple of years. His has a King Demon carb on it. So far it has been a strong running trouble free motor.

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shafiroff has been building engines for drag cars for years. I've seen a number of them in cars at the strip. Must be pretty good.

Here is ours. The Shafiroff team is GREAT! We have had nothing but the best service- when we ordered our engine & with questions etc. Would definitely buy another. We have the aluminum block 540 ci - 786 hp. It's in our 1968 vette.
here is a small video of car.

DOIT,
That is extremely nice. Lots of attention to detail. I noticed several engine compartment mods that I have had to do as well. I like the radiator setup. Where did you get the air cleaner? I saw one similar at a place called Spinners I think.

Thanks everyone, Sorry so long to respond. Troy doesn't do computers so I am trying to help him. He would really like to talk about our vettes. Our email is correctcable@msn.com. We would even consider flying to Texas to watch you guys run. And check out your cars. Outstanding. Here is a link to our photosite on the web. Heather Le Donne

Wow. Lots of planning went into this car. I hope mine turns out as nice.
Wish you guys could have made our Fall Extravaganza last weekend. Was a blast. Maybe you can make the CF CI Vlll next Spring.
