John, it used to leave like a Pro Stock. it is a Pro Stock. LOL There's just something going on in the rear and Stroupe can sort all that out. We've moved the 4 link, moved the wheelie bars, changed the ride height.

91Notch, I only had about $8k in the car I just posted. And it was just a wittle .030 over 460!

**91Notch** · 05-08-2008, 09:30 PM

8k's a lot to me hahaha.

It was to me, too. That's why I had to part it out when it blew up. There was no way I was dumping that much back into it. I worked 60 hour weeks @ $5.75 an hour in a friggin warehouse to build that car.

Not to mention it took like 6-8 months to build it..buying a piece here and there and me and Donald doing all the work.

nice lookin car. I need to paint mine

Lumberjack · 05-09-2008, 11:08 AM

oh shit i didnt see the 460 part. if you build another one you gotta keep it 302 base so us little guys can be half ass'd competitive though.

Ford DNA · 05-09-2008, 11:30 AM

No worries. A 302 would kill a 460 with no piston to valve clearance.

ah chit that blows. did it do it right off the bat at idle, or was it a little high rpm BDDDDDDDATTT!!

either way it makes for a bad day and an empty bottle of Crown that night

if that happens to this motor or anything else catastrophic of the sort, i got a 351 bored and balanced sitting in the corner just itching to be put back in the game.

It idled fine. It was finally going to the track...Donald made a test pass out on 39 before we were going to load up. I don't remember if I heard it or not, but when he got back, it wasn't running right. Took it apart and the heads were messed up, valves were shot, pistons were shot..I only paid $3500 for the whole motor, and it would have close to that just to fix it. So I parted it all out.

A friend of ours has the car now. Actually, I think we're all going to Lakeland tonight with it.
