Must have hooked up.

Octane?

The engine is out of the white T-Bird.  The car went 9.70 @ 138mph a months back at Bakersfield. The 60'ft was off .08 hundredths from Sacramento, after chasing it around we figured out it was slipping forward clutch in the C4.   The cars will be running C Gas which is a 9.60 class.  We've made a few skunk works changes to the chassis so I think it will cover the number without any problem.

 The engine is running on VP Q-16

Will the Mummerts be offering this as a crate engine?

Don't go pricing MR-12, I've always thought of Q-16 as mid grade race fuel.

There is quite a bit of information on Speed Talk under the Vintage section about this 355Y build.  The carbs are custom billet three circuit carbs.  You can read on Don Terrill's Speed Talk without being a member.   Joe-JDC
