That looks like an awesome setup. Those pistons have one thick crown on them.

But, we all have to know: Does it have ROLLER CAM BEARINGS? (inside joke).

Can't wait to see her run.

You guys crack me up.
BTW, when I took the belt drive off C5R #2 from the Crawford Racing Collection, it only had roller bearings in the front and rear. Oh well, it looked good in there though. The C5R Jesels showed up today, and the AMS1000 was waiting for me when I got back.

It fits nicely where the passenger seat would go. My kind of ride along!

The 370 here uses a Cloyes timing set. LQ9 coils that are relocated and GM sensors.
The 388 C5R uses Jesel Belt drive and a distributer with crank trigger.
Should be testing some time this winter. Track is open year round around here.

Does that mean # 2 is "number two"?! Let me know when you take out the trash.

I guess you don't need Viagra when you come home to Goodies like that. How much to walk thru the Crawford Racing Museum? LOL

Weekends vary depending on the racing and engine purchasing season.

It is is sitting in there with the 4" tubes pointing upright now. I really just set it in there to get it out of the way. It looks like it will work nicely there. I may try bringing it back a little, but the cross bars on the current cage will limit that until that is cut out.
