OK, it is still not running, but should be this weekend,
too many "Honey do's" already this spring.


Well, here is my SR "theme" so its a little of the polished look and a little fo the Powder Coat look! It's not as Clean as Caboboy's but, hey, here it is!

EDIT: Mirror polished by Mike at www.polishinginc.com
Powder coat by Chris at www.cecoatings.com

I traded a guy my Miniram even for his SR, he had a Supercharged 355, making 600+HP.

Thanks Cuisi ! I should have it on the road later Saturday.

If that baby runs as good as it looks, you'll need to invest HEAVILY in a tire company

First class motor.

Very cool!
I wanted to do my engine bay in a red theme and was thinking of several ideas, some similar to yours (the lid). But mine does not have the polished box. I like it!
Man, you guys sure do put the bar high!!!


Did I mention how great it looks!!!

Thanks guys, I guess I will find out how tough is is to keep the polished area clean as time goes on!

Tim, the small distributor is very nice clearance wise, I have yet to drive the car to figure out if there will be any spark issues, but I must say it is a nice setup, the Billet distributor comes with an oiling hole for the cam drive gear too. Keep an eye on eBay or look at the Mallory distributor too.

I dont know really, I will hit the dyno I hope in 2-4 weeks from the time it actually hits the road.

I expect a decent jump in RWTQ, maybe I'm guessing, up to 35-45-RWTQ and a the same or less RWHP @ 380 RWHP but I am basing this on the untuned dyno numbers seen in my sig.

I was told by Dynotech that my Miniram would hit at least 415-425-RWHP with a good tune, but it never got that far.

So time will tell. Mainly I am hoping that my ET's are the same or better.

Thanks again guys, I am so excited to "maybe" get it off the ramps this weekend, we'll see, coaching 5-6-7 year olds for Little League and other things have pulled me every which way!

But it is so so close!
