Default Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant

For me it’s an investment because I’ve had the pleasure of building a new engine after a major failure. To put things in perspective the price of the tester is less than a set of lifters for Dumbo.
With the scarcity of parts and no parts support from MoPar I have to be conservative with everything, mostly heads and blocks. With RPM capabilities of the engine I cannot afford a .010 error on the wrong side. I’m just trying to make my stuff last a lifetime. The cost of the tester will be reduced when we quit racing and liquidate parts and tooling.

Before Jerry passed we would sometimes split the cost of something that we both needed for the advancement of our racing.

Just like my old friend would often say “All the experts don’t live out of town” but I need to add “but some of the equipment does “
