Thumbs up Its Alive - Southern Pics

Thanks, Southern, another masterpiece:

The 396 comes to life...


Lewis and John make a few adjustments...


Looks like Tony R's signature line.....


(I have a wav file, too, but its 22MB ... anyone know how to edit that down?)

Thumbs up

Looks great! Congrats! The block almost looks "big" in that first photo. I know you're stoked. I'll look forward to seing that thing on the road this spring.

I noticed the carb is silver. I am used to seeing gold Holleys. Any story behind why this carb is silver, or am I totally out of touch with something (...and that is very likely!).

P.S. I think the starter is robust enough. Just stick it in gear and use it and say you are an electric powered vehicle!!

Default tu-tone engine?

I just wanted the carb to match the rest of the engine, tu-tone just does not work..... ...or, uh I dunno.

It takes a big starter...these small blocks have have more then 5:1 compression like them bi-gap-blocks and it takes a bit to spin them up!!

My starter needs a starter on my big block I have a 289 hanging off my bellhousing Looks just like the pic you posted in the first shot without the camera lense trickery!

P.S. again: I like the silver carb--it's different.

Sounds like you're compensating. See Dr. Tony.

I confess, I am compensating. This high compression/high cubic inch stuff is a world without compromise, and if we need to use a small block as a starter motor, we will FIND A WAY.
