Nice set-up, guessing it will get a steady diet of race gas with that compression or are ya tuning it down a little for pump brand?

Not shure on the type of paint in the lifter valley,etc,but it's supposed to help keep it clean.Something the builder does to every block he works. Yes It will only be fed c16 fuel. I'm not shure yet on race weight but i'm shooting for 3000, It weighed 3100 with the 383 lt1 and a lot more wireing and interior,etc.I have cut weight everywhere possible,gutted,pin on hood,fiberglass dash.This is a drag only car so only the needed will reside in it

The red paint in the lifter valley that you see is normally used to seal electrical motors. We sell the "Glyptal" brand and it is a very durable paint that promotes better oil return

I've heard of Glyptal. I thought that only came in a brush-on. The stuff in the pics above appears to have been sprayed on making me think it might be something else. Wonder where I can get Glyptal over here in the US?
