436 big block. Just had it rebuilt it. 9:1 compression. Hydraulic roller cam. Made 515 on engine dyno at 6500

When I bought car the solid lifter cam had went down. It was 13:1 compression.

I bought a D3M Procharger that's going in this winter with the FITech fuel injection system.

It's a torque monster as it sits.

I'd make some smart *** comment about needing to have a yard sale, but my garage is even worse.

Lol. It's mostly the kids toys they have outgrown. Maybe this fall a yard sale.

Other side of garage is full with mowers and other junk.

We're remodeling. My garage has my Corvette, and everything that used to be in the house.

I'm still tinkering with my 1979 Z28, building a garage & getting her ready for the strip

thinking about something like this before it is finished, maybe adding a Gold star above the lower stripes for every event win


being a native Pennsylvanian, I've always been partial to Bruce Larson's line of USA-1 Funny Cars
