One thing more I'd like to add. As much as I have always liked BG carbs their quality control must have been non existant towards the end. The carb I bought before this one for a customers engine had the wrong gasket on the power valve and was dumping way too much fuel till I found the problem. This carb was purchased the day they shut their doors (although I'm sure it was sitting on a shelf at Jegs for a while) it was jetted so lean that it would almost not run, watch the first run video and see how I have to feather the throttle to keep it going. Runs great now with 72's, it had 58's out of the box.
Point is they are good carbs but not right out of the box so if you have one don't be ready to through it away just cause it doesn't run right. bla bla bla

Tim that Y Block sounds healthy..and this is not even your "good engine".
Don't you just luv that old manual steering on straight axle trucks.. I enjoyed your turn around .. brought back memories. When my dad bought a 74 F-350 to replace the 66 and got power steering I thought I had everything

Tim that Y Block sounds healthy..and this is not even your "good engine".Royce, this is the "D" motor. Just a .060 292 (301ci) I want to do testing with this one then comes the bigger (350ci) "C" motor. If this one performs well I may try to push it to a record but the D record at El Mirage is 158+ mph, we'll see.

Love the matching backing plates, sounds awesome. You are definately the talk of the neighborhood. Good thing that car that turned the corner behind you didn't have blues on it.

I was wondering why the front dump exhaust and not rams horns or headers? is it just because of availability or you need to use those because of the rules??

The fuel shut off valve needs to be within reach of the driver and the "Brick" had a setup that was similar. That being said the new 2011 rule book states that no part of the fuel system is to be inside the drivers compartment unless pre-approved by the technical committee. This is a new rule for this year and I will probably be moving the shut off valve a few inches down with a push rod to operate it. Bill, the exhaust is temporary.
