Down about an inch Dale (on my phone anyway).

Thanks. My PC opens these docs in a spreadsheet that's hard to navigate.

More: .
A friend of mine has a 428 or 429 SCJ stick (not a Shelby) to compliment his T-U/SA Comet. Calls it his "10 second street car". How does Mike's engine differ from the later version of the BB Ford?

Woohoo, got my new (old) car number. Thanks NHRA!
Sent in my request by mail and within the week I had an email response with my membership and competition number. I had to email them back that I don't wear glasses
and they responded same day and it was fixed with a new copy the next day.
Retired January 1st and getting back into drag racing after 20+yr This year is getting off to a good start. Now I just need the car back from paint to start final assembly.

Still in paint jail, did a little bit of mock up to look at colors and fit between various parts. I’m a victim of supply chain back log delays and can’t button up the engine yet.

Lots of options,
NHRA natural A car so AA/SA - B/SA it can also slow down to S/ST.
ANRA I can run D-gas or HR.
Brackets
If I get tired or go broke it can become a street car.

Finish up wiring and install seats and shifter and the interior will be done. Some plumbing work and it will be ready for engine break in.
