Yup,,
best thread ever,,My local racer friend turns his engine 8000 on a regular basis,430 ci,shelby block with reworked 391 cranks,bbc rods , lightened etc,Dove tunnel port heads,runs on alky,the only problems he seems to have are valve train or dry sump related,I would love to see him dyno the engine,it's a screamer but hard to hook with all the torque, everyone thinks he's crazy to try and compete with an fe,,but he is washed in the blood,raced them for 30 yrs and wont have any thing else,he always puts on a show ,carrying the left front 18 inches at 130 mph on dirt,he rarely wins,but its sweet when he does,builds everything him self ,hes 65 yrs old and no signs of slowing down,I just think it's cool as hell,2100 lb car with an alky fe ,has to be a thrill for a senior citizen,I wonder if he ask for the senior discount at wendys,,hahah,just rambling,,Tim
