Hi John!
We just got the pistons and valves back from Russ Meeks- they are now coated and ready to go!
We're waiting on the top girdle, and front plate, to be Cermachromed-they should ship Friday. We need to make a collector system for the exhaust, and assemble the engine.
I'm really hoping to see you about the 3rd week in January. We'll run the setup we have, and see what the numbers say.
I'd like to be able to dyno it again, before El Mirage, with the roller cam setup, for comparisons sake.

Dale got the port molds done on the Bonneville engine today, and now they go to Woody for comparison.
The bottom, and the left, are the intake ports(#8).It's easy to see, even in the pics, how much the 'restricted' area was opened up.
We'll share all the results from Woody here.

Wooo-hoooo! Now it's time to assemble the FlatCad! We'll put the engine together with what we have, and dyno it. If we have time to swap cams,and install the roller setup, then dyno the car before El Mirage, we will. If not, it can happen between El Mirage and Bonneville, and we can run whichever setup produces the best results. The 'spare' cam may be a good thing for a 'spare' engine! I need a tall deck BBC dizzy with a MSD box, that can reference boost. Anyone have one that they want to trade, or loan us? |

He also made a few tri-power setups, although he wasn't thrilled with some of the casting, and welded them up.

They're being built for "any old"  I think they have a number of preorders. Mike |
