A little birdie told me it can tow this boat:

[JoeBoomz]

Drool! that engine looks like it can power a space ship!

[babbage]

Looks great Joe. I always thought Jessel was "top shelf"

[CameronVic]

Why such low compression? and what was the lift on the previous cam?

[Triple Threat]

Why such low compression? and what was the lift on the previous cam?

Compression on engine last year was 8.9.This is what the engine builder suggested.The lift on the cam was .730.

[RacerX]

That compression is good for how that engine is going to get air and fuel rammed down it's throat! Look at the 03/04 Cobras, 8.5:1cr. That's one of the reasons you can get a lot of air and fuel in a Cobra with decent timing on pump gas.

[massacre]

Whereabouts in Boston are you having the headers done?

[CameronVic]

Compression on engine last year was 8.9.This is what the engine builder suggested.The lift on the cam was .730.

Well this should be very interesting with a cam that has .100 more lift!

[Triple Threat]

Whereabouts in Boston are you having the headers done?

The plan at present is to take the car to Tubular Automotive in Rockland,Mass.They said that they could do it in 2-3 days if I leave the car.

[massacre]

Awesome. Tubular Automotive has been around a long time, and they do fantastic work. Great choice!

[clintons4]

Hey look it's built Ford tough, with Chevy stuff. lol

[Triple Threat]

[RubberCtyRauder]

Well, where are the phasers and photon torpedos? cause I think you're new set up will launch you 1320 in lickety split.

[RacerX]

Well, I guess this isn't going to be a restriction. This setup is going to breathe very easily.
Any bigger Joe and you'll be able to reach all the way in and feel the tops of the pistons. ;)

[nh muscle]

That looks like a 2 mile per gallon setup!

[chief455]

That looks like a 2 mile per gallon setup!
measuered in track passes, not miles ;)

love the wheelie picture as a background to the carb :eek:

[Triple Threat]

That looks like a 2 mile per gallon setup!

I wish.Last year we used about 1.5 gal.for each 1/4 mile run.

[LOWBUCKMM]

That looks like a 2 mile per gallon setup!

You know this matters cause he built this for gas mileage. :D
