Jack, I pretty well decide most what is going inside except for rings and cam specs but I do not have a dyno and I have not found but 1 guy in AZ that will listen about B'ville and how it's different and he is the one in Tucson that I lost a whole year with because of his health and meds issues..

my son and I will team up with Al Eshenbaugh and run our AzTex Motorsports LLC as SES.

 I already have an early Chrysler short block that Al was running and we will run his heads and Nitro fuel system and we will be pulling lots of stuff out of my lakester as we will not need it running fuel.  Lots of cooling and electrical stuff.
If we have a track we will run blown and un-blown.

My buddies Francis Van De Putte owned a early DeSoto  300 CID Jr Fuel dragster. 
Al Eshenbaugh was the driver of Stinegger & Eshenbaugh blow fuel dragsters powered early Chrysler on Fuel back in the Day

WELL that turned in to many many Clusters, the worst one was saved for last---lots and lots of work and $---- many brought on by Chi Com Flu and supplier problems--- in the end a failed MSD Pro Mag box was bad and we could not get mag to fire even though we were turning the eng 320 RPM 
Bottom line didn't load and sold our entry.

so back to what we sorta know and have full control over BBC  I have another partnership eng in progress a 438 B and my son is building a 498 A  both of these have heads for their displacements. We will be trying to run Holley EFI

Well life does have it's twists and turns  we will be migrating this project to Texas over the next few months  75757 zip code to be exact.

We have a house under contract outside of Bullard Tx so a house remodel and garage/shop  building will be next on the agenda as well as getting ready to run while praying for good salt.  We move the car after B'ville we are using the car trailer for a moving van in the mean time.
