I might "Step it up" later and pull the engine (reset the ring gaps, etc) put the old gears and converter in. Never say never right.

First gotta get it tuned with the E-heads being done by Chris Sikorski. Worked out a swap deal and he' is redoing a set of 1994 set of E-heads that I plugged the pushrod hole and widened the port, (The bare no pushrod head wasn't available back then) ported back then and let someone else phuck them up after telling me back then he could get another 20 cfm out of them. Flowed less after i got them back, dropped the valves .100 and almost had a fist fight over the deal. But jail didn't seem like a viable option at the time
Anyway. He has risen them from the dead and will be trying them out with the shortblock I currently have. Hope to have it running by then end of April. Cold weather has the money tree slim on pickin's. LOL.

I'll say never you dusty old fart! So now you have bigger compression and 200 lbs lighter, so you're ready to race! Don't you and others start this crap every year about this time? Go back under your rock and come out in the spring. (seriously hope you get rolling this year Ken)

This is what your ad stated when you had the car for sale:"This car has been 8.90's back in 2003 with BFG Drag Radials, single stage fogger and weighing 3690 then. Now around 3250 with 200 lb driver. Set up for Stock Suspension Real Street classes. Have owned it since the mid 90's." So I don't have my calculator on hand but I think 3470 minus 3250 equals 220 lbs. When did you take all the weight out?

I think Dude is an honest guy...but...he is an old street racer and as such they've been know to camouflage the facts a bit when it comes to setting up a race.

Again, 325 with a 200 lb. driver. Again, no calculator but 3250 minus 200 would mean car weighs 3050. I don't believe a misprint. You see me and Ken go back further than he even knows. I've seen him in action.

wow...
so by simple math, you now weigh over 300lbs at 5' something tall??
hmm,
perhaps you need to be more concerned about those personal stats instead of your trash talking .. just tryin to help... those rodeos you speak of were a loong time ago.

speaking of loong time ago...

during our joint venture testing program with cv-1's, i asked you to:

1. replace your 2 speed with a th400
2. replace your hydraulic cam with a solid roller
3. install the FREE intake turtle i sent that had shown 25hp increase on the dyno

ANY of these suggestions could have pushed a 10.015 car into the 9's,, IMO... but NONE were done
the one that sealed the deal on my and keefers demise was #3.. which i pressured him on-

'if my car runs into the 9's, ill get tech'ed for it... upgrading the chassis costs $$ i dont have.. i think its better for us if i run the 6.50 index class" pdud said.

i expressed my disappointment with that decision..

then, is when keefer came up with the big dog nitrous class race deal, and wanted my support... he had heard of how the race shop had sponsored robin a free set of heads... and keefer wanted the same..
he called me about it, i agreed to try to and get him sponsored too..

didnt work..

did my best to try and help my people,, but got blasted cuz it didnt work out..
another chapter in the book... done with all this

I was crewing for Ken back in 98/99 and we were running 9.40's on BFG's LEGAL then.
The car went 8.90's around 05 and was LEGAL and passed tech.

You can say what you want but Ken's never been afraid of qoing quicker, and the car was always legal to do it.

I had to run the 6.50 index as that's all I was left with and the CV-1's. Or why would I then recommend to run heads up with another set of worked CV-1's later ??? It just doesn't compute Jim.

Yes. David. Legal. Faster. My Avatar pic is from 2005.

8.90's Orlando World Street Nationals. Time slip below with BFG drag radials 3600lbs plus

Just to show how hard it was back then to load up those tires. I came out on motor, with a progressive, hit it at .5 then 10% to 100% with 1.5 delay. 40 pills. So all finally in 2 seconds down the track. Hard freakin tire compared to the Pro Drag radial today.
