Damn good deal, I paid just about that without an intake!

Okay ya'll heres the latest and greatest from Joe @ G&G...Joe found 2 pistons that needed to be replaced. I could go ahead and just replace the 2, have them re-coated, new rings but he felt the block really should be honed with a torque plate and go to a 4.110 bore with a brand new set of pistons. Well, I guess I could go the cheap route, replace the 2 pistons and it would be just fine but I've decided to go with Joe's advise and spend the extra $$ in order to sell someone a virtually brand new short block! Not sure what the 4.110 bore/4.100 stroke will make for final dispacement, probably around 424-425CI, but someone will have a very nice, very fast piece for the $$$...I'll let everyone that has contaced me know when it's available. I've already posted the asking price so it looks like I may be eating the extra cost of pistons, rings and additional machine work unless it's just way more than I expect, then I'll have to see about a mutual agreement with the buyer...

This thing is a monster, and the price will makes it a super deal....
I can't wait to see whats next....

I raced a Billy Glidden built 422 and was not all that impressed, but he wasn't spraying. His car was really strong from a dig because he had a power glide, 5000 rpm stall, and four link suspension; but from any race that started from a speed where I could hook up, 25 mph on up, it was no contest.

6600 rpm clutch dump of death Administrator
Dennis can comment on what size shot. I think it was a 200 shot. My understanding was the car made ~700+hp/850+tq on gas.

As for a roll race, Dennis' car is a 6 spd. Racing a big stall auto on the street from a roll is no contest. It's like dropping 100 HP.
I promise you, the big single he raced was no slouch, and Dennis soundly beat him. But, the Supra was a strong car, just not strong enough... Of course when Gerald pilled up to a 300-400 shot on his Viper it changed the outcome....
