collaboration on a C/AIR attempt
« on: April 16, 2019, 10:14:09 PM »
   Anyone in the NW that has a roadster that meets the regs  for C/AIR that needs an engine. I would consider teaming up for my 370 c.i. BBC. It is a 3.1 billet crank piece. I have the heads ,intake, carby and all parts to make it a "contender". Or if you want to build a car I can provide engine, trans. and diff. Bill Gates, call me, you have my number  :lol:

I'm a thinkin' that a team with a member named "Bill Gates" might the only way to give competition to the Mariani's, Beck, or Stringfellow. :roll:

    Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I just had a nice talk with Richard about his car and I think it might be a nice fit. I'm trying to get the fellow that bought my machine shop into a BV ride. I am drawn to the C/AIR class because of platform. My post about the C/AIR class indicates I'm not totally in love with the rules package, but can live with them. I turned Bill's money down cause it wouldn't be fair in a "budget" class. Marlo and Desoto Man are teamed up on a hemi powered roadster for the class and I want to give them a fair chance. :evil: I'll be happy just to have an excuse to get this engine in something. P.S my vidio is at 99777. Someone could go to "flat plane crank barn find" and give me a thumbs up and might be the one to get me to 100k.           :-D

It's not common knowledge, but you can just run SpeedWeek for the fun of it.  The Compressed Air Roadster class has a lot of persnickety engine rules, but a lot of them can be overlooked until you get in Impound.

I've seen under-displacement cars run and now hearing about DeSoto, Edsel and others being entered – kinda what the class was designed for years ago.  As to them holding the record – well, we'll see.

    Sparky me boy, i knew you ask. 8 3/4 Mopar. Should be fine, but if any "drama" easy to switch to a Torsen. The car has gone over 200 with out spinning. I think my parts can do the job, but time will tell. The biggest problem will be event gas for the dyno :-P

I'd like to hear somebody who really knows (like if FordBoy would chip in) as to far off, when you're starting from scratch, "this" 110 octane racing gas is from the "other" 110 racing gas.  Like the dyno ain't at Bonneville altitude anyway.

  Ya me too. As Sparky's engine has been waiting at the dyno for 2 months. I think Dyno Room should comment   :cheers:
