................ I guess the Judgement date will be when I get Priscilla lined on up  a 1/4 mile :grin:

You wish.  :bouncesmile: I guess you haven't heard.  My new bench mark will be the Dodge.  Presently building a try power (or a six pack as we call them in the Mopar fraternity) weapon for it. Indy allow heads, Mopar block and 540 cubes of cam lumping, revving grunt. Target minimum is 600hp at the flywheel.  Already got the Gearvendors overdrive and molly tail shaft and yokes fitted ready to take the new heart.

Jethro
I didn't think you would be that keen to be seen in the revision mirror at the drags

Cam you can mount the camera on the front of the jethro machine  to video the performance car in the others lane
ffs lads it's not only HP  that wins the day

Who, me?  Naaa.   :smilegrin:

It's not a Hemi.  Magnum big block 440 bored and stroked.  Hence the new Mopar block as they are already cast to allow for stroking


Anyhow I'm hi-jacking Jethro's thread here.

Get the thing done and in Jethro.  Forgot what the beast looks like, as I only have a memory of it in Priscilla rear view mirror. Sorry, couldn't help myself  :bolt:

Nothing like the sound of a big block on full song  :drool:

LOL   The thing is not even built yet.  Heading over there tomorrow, Thursday, to check out the progress and take some snaps of the bits and pieces.

Don't worry, I'll be posting a video when we do the engine Dyno run  :evilone:

Looked very hard into that.  But I wanted it all to fit under the pop up airgrabber and it just became too hard so shelved it..... for now

Had all the machining done in the states by some drag racing engine builder buddies of my friend and engine builder John Kuiper.  I'll post some pics of the block once it's in the clean room and unwrapped.

Not many specialty Mopar guys here so got everything sourced by Johns mates for me and had it shipped over by US Muscle Cars, (Mick & Yvette).  It all turned up in a big wooden crate.  Best parcel I've ever unwrapped  :grin2: I'm getting excited  :pepper:
