Ken,

The motor looks like a good value for the $$$$$$ carb to pan.
Ya, i sold my dragsters i only have the camaro now..Keep me posted

Sid

Thanks

Ken,
I think it is around 15degrees F with a 30 MPH wind MAN IS IT COLD. I have BF Goodrich TA on mine, if were you I would try to get all i could in the crate from Hurricane to save shipping cost.
Is MAS here in the US?
What trans will your be going with?

I have a 350 TH in mine and love it, I did find somthing out i ordered my kit with a 3.50 gear and found with a 3 speed and short tire that it was to much gear so i changed to a 3.00 gear and I LOVE IT 60 MPH is now 2400 rpms compared to 3000 rpms and man did it ever open up the top end. I took the car to the drag strip and it only hurt it 2 tenths in the 1/4 mile in a street car you can't feel that.

Yes i build all my motors, if there is a problem i don't to go far to get my hands around the guy neck  .

Yes, we racing this yr my daughter will be racing her HEMI powered Jeep in the street class and i will be racing my 70 Camaro (496 ci) in Super Spro.

Here is a picture of my Camaro

Ken,

It is good to hear from you, and it is also good to hear that you are close ordering a car you will love it, i found it easy to put together and what little problems i had were quickly solved.
I have not heard of MAS engine I am sure you have checked them out. If you lived closer i could have helped you with one (SBC or BBC).
Yes i still have my car it is covered up waiting for warmer weather.

Keep in touch,

Sid

Doug,

Front 15x8

Dan,

Yes that is me at the strip... the front tires are 245-60R-15 and the rears are 295-50R-15.

I think they all are COOL with what ever is under the hood........ driving down the Inter-state at around 85 mph there is not another feeling like it (now 120mph is also pretty SMOOTH but i am not admitting to anything )

RUN WHAT YA BRUNG AND HOPE IT IS ENOUGH

Sid

BOWTIE ?
If you had a REAL Shelby no.......but a kit car?...remember the only SBF Shebly put in was a 289 not a 351 or stroked up to 427 OR a alm block 482 BBF......sooooooooo

I think thay all are cool......and so does everybody else when you stop to get gas.

Sid

Dan,

I took my HM out for a little drive yesterday and you could prolly guess there might have been a few hole shots,i have drag race for aobut 20 yrs and i will say i am surprised how well the HM plants the tires when you get on it.......the drag strips will be open in a few weeks here in IN i am sure it will find it way there......

I have a 9 in ford with a 3.50 gear in mine.

Sid

Phil,

Sid
