It really depends on who you ask everyone has an opinion on it. I like methanol better, in my opinion it has hands down better control on detonation then ethanol fuel. It also has a far better cooling effect as well, hence why you never see ethanol injection kits. To each his own.

another thing with running methanol is, it mixes with nitromethane!!!

Coming along nicely!
I was at Chris Chow's GN dyno session where he smoked the tires on the dyno.
It was a spare motor that Bob Reiger raced 394ci Duttweiller built with twin T76's. He went high 7's on stock style front/rear suspension. Eventually it flipped over on its lid at a high speed and luckily he wasn't hurt.
Anyway.... be careful with that machine. It is going to be crazy.

Well things have slowed way down, with very little getting done lately. Up pipe is now complete with BOV installed. Also finally got the valley gasket, so that is all done and installed. Last thing completed was the steam lines.

Sorry to be a douche and not look through the thread (but I'm at work and shouldn' tbe on here anyway...lol) but what trans are you running? TH400? Glide? Those are some wicked wheelstands you're pulling and wondering if a glide would calm you down a little bit on the launch.

We have glides in all of our other cars, 2 Vegas (2300 to 2450lbs) and a dragster (1688lbs) and they are great but very light race weights.
Here's a list of trans and their weights I compiled years ago. (no converter or fluid)
P/G (w/ Cooling holes 95lbs
Turbo 350 124lbs
700r4 133lbs
Turbo 400 136lbs
4L60e 161lbs
4L80e 179lbs

YES!!!! Goddammit!!!! 
Someday...I make a little bit of progress every week. My pops is getting on my case to start restoring his '68 GTO so that will be pulling most of my available time for car stuff...could be worse I guess!
Always in for updates on this!

The solid mounts were reused from the SBC (Moroso pt# 62630 & 62510) and the adapters to LSx block (and any other ls blocks) are Edelbrock pt# 6701.
