I have confirmation for Pinks all out in Ennis . I need chassis dyno time and at least 3 or 4 passes . That is the time frame im under and im scared of that 406 . You come around with that thing and i'll be using my new quick straps to haul azz outta there .

That is what I was thinking. My cam is 0.737/ 0.726. Not quite .800 but pretty close. :D

Ended up a 230#'s on seat and 640#'s over the nose . The valves that are in the heads won't handle the seat pressure , so i am replacing them with Manley severe dutys and doing some port work on heads and intake . I also had to get Del west titanium retainers and locks . The springs are the baddest Comp makes and where around $400 . Also going to 7/16 suds and guide plates . Im scared of CT's Big ole 406 and down in my back so i'll probably be slowing down in the future . Looking at a 35TH aniversary Camaro convert with LS1 in it . You better hide that GTO . Anyway project is still moving forward .

Here it is before install . Small base LT-1 Cam with no offset on lifters . It has provisions for the factory cam retainer , so no need for thrust button . Also cast press on distributor gear to run any distributor .

Well guys i kinda been down lately and been advertising it for sale . NOW IM PISSED . I have been offered stupid money and i can't stand it . A guy i work with and former Edelbrock easy street world champ Andy Legg has offered me a set of heads on a pay if you want basis . Now i don't know about where you come from , but that's a get your ass back to the track down here . He offered bare castings with titanium intake valves , I HAVE the rest . I'll be getting this assembled under my watchful eye and bolting 26 x 8.5 on it . It will sell better as a winner and with the best et of 5.97 it will win . Ratt Daddy will shoe it for me . He is MR . HMP . I may not move very well , but im back ( no pun intended ).

well i thought i had just another tire kicker tonight that was intending to low ball me . The guy came out last week and looked at the truck and wanted to look at it again yesterday . he shot me a couple of offers which i turned down . "this is what i want or i'll keep it" i told him . Out of the blue he pulls out the cash . Truck now has a new owner . Headed to the Beamont/orange area . He is a nice guy . Anyway i'll still be hanging around if you don't mind .

It must be a happy/sad time for you. It would be for me. But glad to hear you got what you were asking for it. It won't bother me if you hang around here. :D

Well I kinda figured you were going that way with the back surgery and neck a few years ago. That's ok we will get mine finished and you can make a hit whenever you want.

I got more than the bug . I am completely infected . My whole life revolves around compression of something or another . Job, hobbies , sports . My 68 ' Camaro will be getting some needed attention now and the 49' 5 window is almost done .
