any reason you didn't turn the carb 90 degrees..... it probably would have made for alot less cutting to get it in there. That's how tim tosto had one mounted up at one point.

JL: We thought about mounting the carb that way but I wanted it this way. I had no problem cutting the cowl a bit, because during the off-season we're swapping back to EFI, putting some more bars in the car, lots of sheetmetal/carbon fiber & going with a 4bbl throttle body that I have some design ideas for which would require the cut anyways. The only reason why I put a carb on here is to try it out. This motor is not going to see nitrous, the plan is to race out the rest of the season and then you will see the complete assembly for sale oil pan to carb.

Jay and Rob have been cranking away this entire weekend working on our car. I can't thank them enough for all of their assistance. They are taking care of the work, I'm taking care of the food and beer

JS: I have a few buddies running the BG's and they like them out of the box.. They are a very close design to the Holley's but with their own specifics here and there. Once again like I said this carb is just to do some R&D with it, this combination is not what I'm going to make the goals for next year's e/t with.

lol Noyzee.. I'll UPS you up some of this special tape. Then you can fix your heads

Somewhat of the same motor from when I stood it up. 417ci, 13.2:1.

What was replaced? New block, starter, oil pan, headers (New set 1 7/8 to 2" stepped 3.5 collectors, Thanks Kooks!), different exhaust, trans case, trans output shaft, reshaped frame rails, and sportsman cage installed.

On top of that I added the BG carb setup, Edelbrock victor jr, removed all wire harnesses from car (Only harnesses we're using are the taillight and headlight harnesses), MSD 6ls2 box to control timing/rev limiter/two step, carb bypass fuel regulator, remounted fuel cell, built & mounted parachute mount, built & mounted wheelie bars (Out for paint right now), changed front a-arms from poly/rod to rod/rod ends, new travel limiters, m/t et fronts, and some other random stuff like fabricated new seat mount, new cover for seat, etc.

All motor for the rest of the year, then the 417 is for sale. We're working with ET Performance on a new cylinder heads/motor combination over the winter.
