A little more info for you Ricky. The glide was behind a 514 powered
Mustang, but he took it out as its getting a Lenco. I'm getting a good
deal on it the converter and shifter. I've been running street class
and bracket II, but will be starting bracket I in the coming season.
For my home track, tech in not that big a deal, but if I start running
other NRHA or maybe IRHA tracks, it will be. I'm getting my cage from
S & W who is pretty good to deal with. Subframe connectors will be done
at the chassic shop as I don't like the ones that hang beneath the car.
I can also get the 514 shortblock as the Mustang guy is going bigger,
but I'll just use the one I have for now. My basic problem is I know how
much money I have for the project, and thats it. If I go over by much,
it won't be running in time for when the points start. Mostly I've had
big block pickups, Torinos, Fairlanes and the like, but this is the first
time I've tried to shove 10 lbs in a 5 lb package. Intakes? No question,
I'm going with a Edelbrock Victor with the Holley 4500 pattern and a
Holley 1050 CFM Dominator. The cool thing about the Victor is it already
had the bosses for a fogger system in it, all you got to do is tap and
drill it. I've already aquired most of the parts I need, as far as the
engine goes. For your amusment, the cam I have is 266-276 duration (@ .050)
with .603-.625 lift, its a monster. My machinist seems to think with
the Victor I should be making around 550 HP off the bottle, but we'll
see. Not for street use:-)
