thanks alot!!And no i don,t...but a buddy of mine has it,he is about 5 miles from my place,he,s very reasonable and it beats driving onto the flat bed type setups!!!! I plan on returning in the spring,but it was very usefull..i found out that i was running out of fuel around 5500.The motor stopped making power at that RPM,in the video you can see a buddy of mine shaking his head because the float bowls are pretty much empty..It was alot of fun and alot safer than doing a high RPM run out on a back road or highway..Over the winter months it will get a new braided fuel line and a larger fuel pump,this should help it rev over 6000 without a hiccup.

Thanks man i appreciate that!!! The DYNO is cool and i,m glad/lucky to have a friend who owns one,but in the grande scheme of things(building/assembling)it was just one of the fun things to do after it was finished....I started it in april 2008 it was on the road July 2009,as for actual hours i really don,t no,i would pick something to do then complete it,believe it or not the list kept getting smaller and smaller..It also took alot longer because i did 95% of the work alone usually while the kids(i have 4) were in bed or after work (3-11s alot of late nights)Believe it or not i just followed old posts and their pics and i was able to get her back to life...i say finished..that,s kind of funny as we all no they are never finished!!!

It,s a 489 aluminum headed (edelbrock rectangular ports with 2.25 valves installed )hydraulic roller cammed (294 extreme energy),with Ross pistons total seal rings,H beam Eagle rods 6.385 and a Eagle crank..The carb is a 850 mighty demon and it has a single plane Torker TMR2 on it during that run..I have a Rpm airgap but it is on the bench...As for the numbers..it made 419 Hp and 398 Torque however it stopped making power at 5400 rpm,in the picture/video you can see my buddy shaking his head while leaving the shoot ,he was letting me no that there was no fuel in the float bowls..i have a holley 150 HP pump that i plan on installing in the spring.i hope it makes a little more power in the upper rpm,s and if not it still is a blast to drive,i will post the numbers and new video after i get back to my Buddies dyno,if the snow holds off i might try next week,but likely will have to wait until April/may...
