Starting to think of how to gain max displacement in these 235/261 blocks. There is not much room for an over bore. the holes are already pretty darn close to each other. This part of the build is WAY out of my realm. I am not much of an engine guy short of basic hot rodding.

Basic hot rodding worked for me. But with a turbo on it. That old 270 was a fun ride.

Well, I have the turbo part covered! But our class limit of 325 cubes has me looking for more. I need to investigate pistons to see if there is some off the shelf modern hi-po fancy shmancy piston I can use. Doesn't Noonan deal with pistons? I don't have my rule book at the moment. Also thinking about stroke. I know nothing so I have a clean slate!

John Noonan is the US rep for Wossner Pistons.  He's an occasional poster here on the forum - can't remember his online name right now.  Somebody will give it to you soon if you don't find it yourself.  Try the search engine here in the Forum.  I would but I've gotta go light the gas grill for the lake trout that'll be tonight's supper, and with the temps so low out there - about +10F - the grill takes quite a while to heat up :-o.

Yea, I just couldn't resist... oh like this one as well  :evil:

Yea... I was at the next urinal when Slim stopped at the Truck Stop.... if you think his memory is short, you should.... well there you have it...  :-o

Sure hope this doesn't sidetrack your thread too much, but maybe it will add to your views... now get back to work, August is here before you know it.

Trent, you're a fighter.

All the strange stuff made you tougher, you never gave up and you're better for it.

All the good things are coming. :cheers: :cheers:

Stainless, I thought you were in therapy for a twisted neck after last August.  If so -- how come you were able to bend and twist and peer over that little wall between the urinals?  And then, with your upper body being all bent out of shape -- when you reached into an inside pocket for your magnifying glasses I really did get worried that you were going to hurt yourself.

Trent, I know you've had other things to deal with but when do we get to see a few photos of the car?. :cheers:
