I went to the PRI show this weekend with the Drag Week gang. Saw a lot of very cool stuff, but a couple items caught my eye. First was the Ernie Elliot FE in the Borla booth:
I don't know what the story is on this engine, but it sure looked good. While at the Borla booth I also asked about their progress with my intake adapters; some of you may recall that I did a special one for them a few years ago, where they were going to convert it to a sidedraft individual runner manifold. Some of the drawings are posted in the FE intake adapter thread. Anyway, according to the guy I talked to they keep thinking about releasing it as a product, but so far it is still stuck on the shelf there. Bummer...
Also got a look at the new Comp Cams FE rocker assembly. They have gone away from buying their parts from Dove, and are doing their own now. Pictures below:
We had dinner with Barry R on Friday night, and he couldn't understand why Comp would split the stands, like the early FE rocker shaft stands. Other than that, though, they look like a pretty nice part.
Other than sore feet from walking mile after mile of exhibitor space, and sore arms from lugging around huge bags of product literature picked up from all the booths, we all had a pretty good time at the show. It's a great place to see what's new and get new ideas for your projects. If any of you get the opportunity to go to PRI sometime, it is well worth the trip - Jay
