Charlie,

            Factory key, no advance, no retard. That thing sounds great  Young'n!

Stake,

I wanted to install the cam straight up but the keyway is off enough that I could not.  I probably could have played around with the cam chain to get what I wanted but I didn't think of it at the time.

John,

I plan to be there again this year.  Hopefuly the truck will make it this time.  I made it to Tennessee last year.  I have a lot of work to do between now and then -  a new wire harness and replacing the cab mount sheet metal are at the top of the list.  I'd like to have a 5-speed in too.  I may just try to trailer it there.  I don't normally like doing that but it's 600 miles, one way.  There's a lot of stuff on it that's still old - it wouldn't be good for it to break while racing that far away.  It looks like there may be a good number of trucks there this year!

Hoosier,

What's a straight key?  Is that what I'm calling straight up?

I will be there for sure. I admit it I'm hooked.

Stake bed:

I'm not running the same cam as Charlie, and I'm running mine with a straight key.

John F, since you are looking to see Charlie at Columbus next year, that means you'll be there again.  We GOT YA.

Hey charlie, it looks great! I'll bet it sounds as sweet as it looks. I'm looking forward to seeing it run at the shootout. Keep us all posted.

Thanks Charlie.  2/5 Degrees Retarted?  Was the s/c cam built with alot of advance or something?   I think I read that Hoosier H. sets his back a degree or two... 

The master cylinder is a corvette unit.  I think 1968ish.  I made a mounting plate to mount it.  It's about the same as the stock ford plate. The bolt spacing is a little wider on the chevy mc.

Y-Guy: I'm jealous!!!!! Thats a rightous ride man.

           While admiring everything, I have a question. What is the

            mastercylinder from? (I'm about to tackle that job soon.)

                                       Thx Bill

Sure! There are no machining secrets or anything in this motor. I did check clearances and I know where everything is.

It is a 318 stroker kit from Mummert. The heads are street ported G's with 1.6:1 Dove roller rockers. Compression is some where between 9.4 and 9.6. The cam has .295 lift, 226@.050, 274 advertised, 112 lobe separation and installed about 2.5 degrees retarded. The headers are Red's stubbies, 1 1/2" primaries and 2.5" collector. The exhaust is 2.5" from the headers to the outlets which dump just in front of the axle. The carb is an Edelbrock 600 with a K&N filter, housing, and stub stack. The intake is Blue Thunder. I think that is all of the important specs.

Sounds & looks fantastic!  Maybe a ride-along video next???

What heads did you end up with?  Any other specs you willing to share?
