My wife & I have a 2500 pound tube frame altered set-up for a Big Block engine. We Bracket race at a 1/8th mile track with questionable traction.
We do not feel the need to be the fastest guy at our track. Does any one out there have any experience with one of the 502 Ram-Jet factory crate engines, Bracket Racing ? Several years ago I diassembled a 502-502 Crate Engine & Had Chapmans in Salt Lake City Mildly Port the heads and intake manifold. I Squared the Block Decks, Bushed and Bored the rods center to center, Honed with torque plates, Balanced, Reassembled engine complete with G.M. 502-502 Cam, Pistons, Carb & Manifold. It made 585 on the dyno. That is plenty of power to do what we want with this car. The unknown is the Ram-Jet F.I. Unit. Any Constructive Help wil be appreciated.
Thanks Larry D
