Hooking up an A Body Mopar

Terry,

I'm not limited by rules, but I AM limited by $$$$ and the EQ heads flow about as much as the Edelbrocks for about half the price. The reason the stock heads are on there is that I am always cash-poor, it seems, and I have to do this thing one step at a time... being retired, and with a disabled wife who needs 24/7 care, I can't just go out and get a job to make money for this little pissant race car project. So, I have to do what I can, when I can... I'm sure you understand.

I've got a 4" crank and a new set of rods for it... just need a new set of reverse-deflector, 8:1, forged, J-E pistons, so the piggy-bank is IN OPERATION, but there again, it would be an exercise in futility to put the long arm in without a better set of heads.... so, I decided to try to get it hooked up, first. I'll build the big motor next year, with any luck.

There's no end to this... is there? LOL!!! After doing it since 1955, you'd think I'd learn, eventually...

I saw a bumper sticker on the back of a trailer once that said "CAUTION; THIS TRAILER CONTAINS A DISEASE FOR WHICH THERE IN NO CURE." There was an NHRA decal beside it... LOL!
