Saying Hi to Stock and S/S in Div. 6

FireSale · 04-16-2020, 02:57 AM

Hi, Ron. I fried an engine last season and took advantage of the hole under the hood to continue my quest to get my car legal for something in SS. It's currently legal for SS/CS if it will run the index. I replaced the broken BOSS 302 block with a Dart Sportsman and kept the N351 heads. I switched to a Crane cam with a 351/302 SVO firing order and it sounds really strong. I rebuilt the Holly 750 that gave me fits last year and seem to have it under control. I was a lot more careful assembling it this time and we will see if it pays off. I need 10.30 on the 1/4 and 6.68 on the 1/8 mile to class race.

My usual racing schedule every year is to be putting the motor back in the car three days before Boise so just being ready to race with no time to test. For once in my life, I had everything ready this year way ahead of time including doing some tow vehicle upgrades. Everything is ready so just parked and waiting. Regarding my sideline header building gig, that is crazy busy. I figured a lot of people would cancel or delay but it seems to be quite the opposite, busier than ever.
