The t56 magnum pushed out the rear seal. We had bought a set of measuring cups to mix the octane booster. The 3/4 cup worked perfectly as a seal driver

It was definitely a challenge just getting there this year, but I'm glad that we made it and stuck with it through a few challenges! Completing the event, and coming in second in class was very gratifying. The early start, one and done formula is a safe way to go because it allows time to solve problems on the road when things go awry. But, a consequence is that most of the social interaction and checking out other people's cars and activities is missed.
Maybe one of these years I'll do drag week in the parade car again so that I can absorb the entirety of drag week.

You probably want the real Mickeys, but if you just want a Hemi head on  a pushrod FE, it probably wound't be too crazy hard to adapt early Chrysler heads to fit. The bore spacing is about the same. You can buy them in aluminum from Hot Heads. Maybe he would sell them with the head bolt holes undrilled.

It has been a long time, but back when I rebuilt my 428 CObratJet I was told that it was important to drill out the oil gallery from the oil pump to the filter, and also to grind the oil holes in the main saddles so they aligned better with the holes in the bearings, and to run a high volume pump and add extra quart of oil in the pan if you want to rev to 6000 RPM.

Now why can't the 65-67 427 Cobras run in FAST? There were a total of 206 427 Cobras built.  There were only 216 L-88 Corvettes built from1967-69.  Only 2 1969 Z-L1 Corvettes were built.

The Cobras are not considered a muscle car by class rules. There was a lot more than 2 69 L88's built. 214 between 68-69. '67 was the year of only 2
I don't understand why the Cobras are barred from the series,if it's not considered a musclecar why is the Corvette?They raced in the same classes in drag racing and road racing.The top end Corvettes were no more affordable than a top end Cobra.If the Corvette were excluded then I could see the reasoning,but singling out the Cobra makes it appear as if they are just ruling out a car that they know has the potential to dominate the series.kind of reminds you of Nascar in the Big Bill France days.

Because it for American cars only. Foreign built cars do not qualify as muscle cars in the FAST rules.

Corvette L88 breakdown is as follows....,

1967 is 20.
1968 is 80.
1969 is 116.

Total L88 production for 1967 to 1969 is 216.

1969 ZL1 production is 2, this is the aluminum block "L88".

How are we supposed to mess up the internet with flawed information with you here? ;D

Royce, that's too much of  project, even for me.

Frank, the tires are right out of the Coker catalog.  It is so fun to go to a test and tune, or bracket race with a FAST car, that looks 100% stock including exhaust to the rear bumper and G70-14's, then at the 1000' drive on past a race car on slicks with open headers, that has the whole Summit catalog thrown at it. Then leave the hood open in the pits and watch from afar as racers look it over, look under it, and get a puzzled look.

That is the magic of FAST!
