brent any changes to the engine planned?

brent flynn · 11-10-2015, 09:22 PM

Im thinkin about a 1/2'' stroker and ported heads

Nah, gonna run the first couple divisionals, Indy and Norwalk, and then possibly put bracket engine back in, for the season... The 400 has about 240 passes on it right now, goin to about 300, then yanking it out... maybe then, i can do some work to the heads, or atleast figure out if my other castings flow better, or not...

Hoping to test this weekend, at Indy, but not sure if the weather is gonna cooperate... oh well.... DIdnt make any changes to the car, except new front runners... I do have a couple carbs to test... Its supposed to be 25 degrees tonight, and its been spitting snow, since 6pm... I did manage to change oil...hehe
