I bought this as a roller a couple a months ago. It's got a 383 stoker now.
Here are a few pics. It's still a work in progress but just got the motor back in it 2 days before Christmas.

Hey Micheal.......stop by one day and I'll give you a test ride. It feels really strong. Can't wait to get to the track. As for the PHATBOY......it's almost at a standstill. It should be ready to dyno soon tho. Hope you had a great Christmas.

Sounds good to me, I'm off Wednesday so be on the lookout. Yea Phatboy is a pretty extensive build, but it will be so worth the wait. I might actually take mine down the track a few times this year. Actually it will be my first time ever, lol.

The IAT sensor is built into the MASS air sensor. It made 550 hp at the flywheel on the dyno.......I believe it was close to 470 rear wheel. I'll post up the sheet when I get time.

Thanks.....I hate the way the stock stance looks like I'm going 4 wheelin.

What is the best way to drop the front and still transfer the weight to the back at the track?

Yeah....I just did some touch up painting then cleared it. The wire tuck makes a huge difference.
