Default New moderators!

We put this forum up a while ago as an experiement and it's done fairly well.

After some serious thought, we asked brady and xxx to moderate this section based on their experience with SBC and BBC 4th gen F-Body conversions.

Now xxx has to post some pictures of his car!

I was thinking more of a new section where Top Sportsman, Outlaw, Pro Street, etc. guys could discuss racing topics. There doesn't seem to be site out there along these lines.

I'll tell you anything you want to know about my motor:

-622 BBC (4.625"/4.625"), 16:1 c/r
-Dart CI block (4.840 bore spacing)
-Pontiac (Ray Franks) 12 degree Raptor ALuminum heads (2.45 I/1.85 E), T&D rockers, titanium push rods, valves and retainers, Manley triple springs
-Bill Mitchell coated aluminum NOS pistons
-Manley steel rods
-Erson roller cam (.921/864., 116.5)
-Gary Williams 1150 cfm Dominators

Congrats Guys. I think they both will make great moderators. I know Brady and trust his insight into small block and big blocks in the 4th gen cars. When I first decided to put a SBC in a 4th gen he was the first person called for in insight into how and what needed to to done to get it in there.

Yep Brady's pretty sharp, I've been working with him and teaching him for years, and he's come a long way, but I haven't taught him every thing I know yet..

So I'm thinking I'll the better moderator of the 2..
