Thanks.Have a look on my racing junk profile at the Monaro if you wish.
WOO,WOO, my friend, i only assumed you're running alcohol because of the bird catcher. I meant no criticisium, Jesus i've been running alcohol for ever. We run 3 cars & 2 rails on alcohol the cars run in the 5's and the rails run in the 4's, i only meant to offer advice as my own experience. I also have a blown S/BLK. alcohol motor that's been 4.60's @ 2600lbs. My first blown car was 44 yrs. ago which set a world record 42 yrs. ago. My fastest car ran 6.71 @ 217mph 20 yrs. ago.
I now go a little slower, but i'm building a S/BLK 1471 blown alcohol 48 Anglia that should dip into the 4's.
Again i appolagize if you mis understood my post, it was not to be accepted as negative of your setup.
With that said i'll bail out with further advice or comment on this post, i donot want to make enemies, nor do i ever want to be accused of critising someone for what they have or trying to run with their setup.
With that said here is my 358" that went 4.60's @ 2600lbs, don't worry about the smoke it's just a valve cover leak.
And yes i wish you the very best luck and i hope you run as good as you want too, your friend
Zip.
PS, Tod74 you know you're right i have never critised anyone and will never do that.
I'm behind the camera on this vid, my motor is in my friends car Jeff Russell's ugly Dodge @ 2600 lbs.
