I work on the car between October 1st and May 1st. I work at least 1 more like 2 hours every single day and sometimes more. I spend alot of time riding horses, shoing horses for money on the side but I always find time for the car. I live a balanced life with the house, horses , wife and the...

Thank you but I already have plans for next year. I will jack the top end up and drop a 565 short block under there. I was orginially going for a 632 but that requires the tall block and that makes the engine too wide for our vets and makes nearly every part on my top end useless. With a 565 I...

I bought a romote tank to go with the pump but didn't like it because the outlet was at the bottom and the tank needed to stand straight up. I got a canister from a air conditioner and using it and the bought oil resovior I cut and welded the 2 together and built this lay down version. A single...

I don’t know why but I went through a stock pump about every year. I finally decided to go with a racing style of pump . A KRC pump from I believe Sweet or something like that. I got it through Coleman racing. It is a light weight small pump with a large inlet from a remote resovoir and a...

Mac the idea behind the 3m weather strip adhesive is instant sticking. You put the end rubbers into place, push them tightly into the corners, angle the ends where they meet the side rail gaskets and everything stays put. When you take your hands off the gasket it doesn't move. With silicon the...

I installed my 10 quart oil pan this weekend and decided to share for those that don’t know the tricks. While I was doing a big block this method also covers the small block. I was also doing the pan with the motor in the car but this also works with the engine on the stand. You don’t want to...

Had a good weekend. Got the pan installed and Doug came over and helped me lift the blower on.. It is a two man job. The motor is almost done, just a little work on the carbs and they can go back on. Carguy4sure/Doug and Brian/Vettr talked me into these valve covers. They are morosso with no...

Mac it's a position of respect. To be a rcmp officer is impressive. You have a position people look up too. I'll be impressed right now.

I am not re engineering a wheel. I am just saving myself $400 by building a pan. I have seen 2 bought ones, that gave me the push. As far as internal baffling I have done more then the bought ones towards controling oil movement. I have a 50 pound warning light, big red thing you can't miss...

Mac you wouldn't know the place. It seems to have doubled in the last few years. Where there was open fields is now thousands of homes. I actually live is St Agatha , about 4 kilmeters outside waterloo on Erb street. It is still the same small village, I love it but all aournd us is new housing...

I do road running, hard corners alot. I tried to direct the oil on slosh so it is driven into the pickup. I tried figuring out how the oil will react to braking /acceleration and cornering and put obsticles in it's way when it tries to run away from the pickup. While it looks at times like the...

Mac I am impressed. St Jacobs is just around the corner. I go there to buy my horse shoing supplies. I buy Kegs of shoes. A Keg is about 100 or so shoes. The going rate for a pair of shoes is $20. I pay $1.85 per soe or $3.70 per pair and resell them for a more reasonable $7.00 I am not...

Mac I will spend $5000 on heads but hesitate to spend $400 on a oil pan. If I can do it myself I figure " Why spend the money" I shoe horses on the side to pay for the car, that way the wife never asks/complains about how much I spend. If I have to work x number of hours shoing and I can build...

These are some shots of my new homemade pan. This is some of the internal baffling I added. The front hoop is for hard breaking and cornering and the slanted rear is for hard acceleration. I am using the principle of fluid flowing and trying to direct it’s escape route into my sump. Only...

Mac I don't melt tires, I am very good to my equipment. Yes I like to drive very fast but smooth at the same time. This flying into corners, hammering the brakes and flooring it out of the turn is not my style. I will not do burnouts, yes I will lightly haze the tire but nothing too aggressive...

For 12 years I basically dominated the obedience trials, the tracking trials and the guard dog competitions with my dogs. I got tired of the show schedule and gave it up but for 12 years I had fun. I was once featured on Kids World and about twice a week made appearances at local functions. My...

This is my true passion. I love a good horse between my legs and put as many miles on my little Arabian gelding Strider as I do on the vet. If one had to go I would get rid of the car before him. He has carried me faithfully for 15 years over 30,000 plus miles

I am hoping for about 680 cfm with 12 pounds of boost. In theory and this is theory only not possible horsepower but the heads under perfect condition should support over 1300 horse. But again losses really subtract from that.

Well it is still the same block but the heads are new and the intake lost many pounds in porting. I am hoping for at least 85 more horse out of the setup. I have about a week of work per head and the same for the intake. So 3 weeks into getting them ready. This is a look at one of the ports...

I started putting the motor back together this week. The heads are BigBrodie 350cc intakes with extensive work done to them. The custom oil pan will be finished this week and I can get the bottom end closed up
