Buddy,

I am always looking forward to opening new posts on this build.  Good luck on the dyno.  I have my guess numbers posted on the wall here and awaiting confirmation.

Buddy stopped by last night on his way to the dyno session. I'm fairly certain he enjoyed the RODGE MAHAL.  :lol: We had a good visit. Wayno

I haven't had time to catch up on everyone's build thread, but I will when I get home!

Wayno, thanks again for having me at your place-Rodge Mahal was great!

I'm at Vintage Hot Rod Design in Chico, CA., and we just unloaded the engine!

Good luck Buddy, we are all pulling for you and the Flat Cad!!!

Tom Edison (I think) defined Luck as when opportunity meets preparation. If that is true you have it hammered!

A landracing.com hat and two of the new oval stickers says somewhere between 550 and 600 hp.  Go to it, Buddy. :-o
