Wow!  what a saga!

Jay you should collect all your "Road to Drag Week" postings and publish them as a book... There are more twists and turns than a Tom Clancy novel

Wow the drag week participants are sure doing their part to stimulate the economy..

If I had lunched an SOHC or destroyed my one off radiator I would probably be curled up in a ball sucking my thumb..

Great perserverence  I hope both of you make the show

In my browser under view there is a fit to screen width option.. I have the same problem with a lot of web pages

Sold

Joe is being modest..  He ported those heads, the 4th set he has ever done ... along with the dual plane intake, and kicked all the other heads' asses that were tested that day. I am sure glad he likes Fords.

This engine has about 40 dyno pulls on it from 2 different sessions. Testing was performed at R&R Performance in Spring Lake Park Mn
First session was with the Edelbrock Performer RPM cam. This cam did not produce the expected result, so I ordered a Crane profile that proved to be much better. Best hp with the Performer RPM intake was 488 @ 5900 rpm. (see dyno sheet). I installed an Edelbrock Victor and made just over 500 hp but lost a lot of torque and so I settled on the Performer RPM.

My intent was to put this engine in a Cobra replica, but my interests took a turn in a different direction. The engine has been sitting in my rec room on a stand for several years. Time to sell it and move on. The Art Deco engine stand goes with it.
