Default Re: It's official :-)

Thanks Jim... Im not really worried about how far under i run, at this point. My goal is to get the car working, round to round, the way it does now, then i can start to tinker with it. Right now, its a pretty consistent high 10second bracket car, with Stocker tendancies... Running the same Qjet that ive had on the car, since the early '90s, and spent some time refining the chassis and driveline. Im really excited about this deal. My engine machinist has built several record holding Buicks and Pontiacs, over the years(Bill SMith Motorsports, Muncie Indiana), so im confident that the shortblock is a good one. I think the heads will be pretty good too. Im goin a little conservative on the cam, on the 1st go around. Its gonna be a blast. This 400 is the original block, heads, crank and intake to the car... pretty cool stuff. I have more 400s, but i thought it fitting to build the original one. Got quite a few things to do, to get ready for Indy in APril , but im gonna try!
