I can supply you with a pan too, if you need one. I have a miloden I bought for it along with their windage tray and the pickup for their pan, I'll let it go for what I bought it for. it's a 67camaro/chevelle pan, but if you have an aftermarket K member it should fit fine.

Good chance I'll have it, it's out there for sale, and I've had a couple bites but all street car guys that are crying about the compression... you want a race motor, and believe me it's that for sure. Probably be perfect for what you want to do.... just have to plan on the car heading for the bumper with the power this will make LOL. And, you'll be able to spin this to 8500 all day long NO problem with the valvetrain this has on it.
Now you got me day dreaming

The guy came back over today asking for a price on my motor so I'm sure he wants it. I just have to pull it out once the season is over. Yeah that compression is perfect for what I'm looking to do.

I'm still used to using those Rons toilet bowls on my old 355 SBC lol.

Sure would help if I could win that 10 grander coming up this weekend

Well the 2010' Season is finally over for me and what a better way to end the season with a win in Super Pro!

TRRP had an Electronics Extravaganza last night and I ended up putting out about 6 or 7 dragsters and about 4 other door cars. Went a total of 17 rounds (including 4 time trials) to get the win.

Looking forward to a bigger motor, less weight, and a bigger tire for next year to make this thing a full blown bracket car. I gotta keep my stereo though

Was looking at the MT 31x13's or 32x14's for next year. These 10.5's aren't enough on a halfass prepped track. Finally tired of trying to look "cool" on a 10.5 tire, doesn't cut it when you're bracket racing especially against them "pipe racks".

Looking at 408+CI's for next year. Still trying to decide.

Thanks. The backspacing was a 5.5BS with the 10.5 slicks. I got by with the 275/60 Drag Radials because they weren't as wide with a 6.5BS.

I believe the rear was shortened 2inches.

Car was traded off to a guy in South Carolina not too long ago though.

Yes, it is in South Carolina, Charleston to be exact! The car is actually for sale right now but I haven't put it in the classifieds yet.
