With a 4-5/8 crank 7200 was the big number & we could make multiple passes without even pulling the heads. One meet we made eleven passes then changed the engine on Thursday for a class change to the B engine. It liked to put all the oil in the top of the engine & out the vent hoses onto the chutes so it was a little hard on bearings until I built what became known as the Sidburger oil pan design then the back of the car was always as dry as a popcorn fart as somebody phrased it.

Hello all! I hope everyone is well. Life got in the way and I forgot my password here. Im still driven to build and possibly, a build dairy post might be made in May. Lots have changed with the concept except the desire to run the K class. Plan is to build with a J motor and get on the salt ASAP. Ive been in touch with Sparky lately and he is always a blast to talk to. I might let this post die and start a new one at some point. Stainless, expect me to be twisting your ear soon in PM  :clap
