You're racing. Weight does matter. I might have one. I'll dig through my stuff tomorrow. If I have it, I'll send it. I don't think your current turn signal switch will work, if you're even using it and I know I don't have a spare switch.

You guys are doing some great work, going to be a shame to get it dirty.  Perhaps you should do a few car shows first, that thing would really draw a crowd.

Looking good, keep up the great work.

what heads are you using and what all has been done to them, port wise and valve size, what size headers, what cam, thanks, wayne.

Thanks Charlie, but the column is already installed...don't waste your effort, thanks for the thought though.

Wayne, I'll let Tim field your question about the heads. Seems like he did a post with the tech info. I'm just a fab grunt, he's the machinist...

This is just a practice engine if you will, the heads are modified C1TE heads with 1.85" in and 1.54" ex I have done some port work and it will be going trough a set of home made headers with 1 3/4" primaries.  The cam is a special grind and that is all I will say for now, this whole engine is a bit of an experiment to see just what can be done with a modest bunch of parts.  Once I have a timing slip on the truck with this engine and it looks good I will share more details.   The real "race" engine is coming together right now and will be 350ci, more details to come.

here's a link to the head work or something close to it, the heads on this engine have a little more time in them.

Let me know if you change your mind. I'm almost certain I have one laying around here somewhere.

Todd and Tim, and anyone else involved, all I can say is....

WOW!

 

Bring on the Y block powered race truck baby!

Something like this needs to be in one of the TV shows on cable/satellite. You know. The kind of show where a couple of guys are building something that everyone has seen before, it's so generic and run of the mill, there are 2 or 3 on your block, etc, etc. Hey! Not your truck - this thing is going to be awesome, man. NICE!
