As far as Dynamic goes we didn't worry about it too much seeing that its not a pump gas engine.

We may do some testing with some other fuels later that have proved themselves in the ATV world. But for now she just had to get running. Sunday was the last racing weekend before the SHOOTOUT.

Theres more weird stuff but this should get things rolling.

"Not speeding Officer, qualifying!"

"Oil Pump: NOS Modded to drop oil through cover do to the fact that oil filter will no longer fit."

John, Sounds great! I'd like to hear more about your above statement AND how did you get 14 lbs out of the block? Not trying to steal any secrets just curious. Any pics of the oiling setup??

I thought I'd throw in some pics of the engine and car

Part of removing weight from the block included the filter mount so it had to be done this way.
More weight reduction in the pan rail

Crower rods and Racetec Pistons


More weight reduction from pushrod openings


Checking the new rockers for fitment. Steel shims added to protect rockers later.

Gee John all this time I thought you were fired up to help us support OUR passion for the Y. But look at you now! Wild looking coupe. Is that time for a 1/8 mile or does John H. now have the worlds fastest Y? Now, no more excuses, you guys HAVE to come to Columbus this year. Chuck

Just another thought, didn't one of our member show up with a car transporter one year? What if we could get a group of cars togather and trailer out. Combining cost would be a deal maker and the trip could be made with several drivers. Just a thought!

When I was a kid we had fast cars and hot rods in the midwest but it always seemed that the real action was on the west coast. Long summers make some of the difference but here I am again, 70 years old and all the action seems to be on the west coast AGAIN! Chuck

Chuck, definitely 1/8 mile. At present our 1/4 mile time would be 10.20 more or less. For now a weight reduction plan for the car and some new rear gears. Trying to get to 9.99 1/4 mile time.As to Columbus: That's up to John Hildebrand

People are always talking about their "Bucket List" today. I can't imagine an avid Y's guy that wouldn't have Columbus on that list. On the local tracks you find a few "I used to run one" and even the occasional Y's guy in arms but at Columbus "we are the world". Full immersion in the Y-block passion for 3 whole days. Surrounded my some of the best, and fastest, Y-Blockers in the world. I put it right up there with Bonneville! Chuck
