It's getting exciting. We should start the block machining next week. I wanted to wait until I had all of the parts, in case something came up. I wrote a long post here last night, to start the build blog. At the end I clicked on the spell check, and must have hit a wrong key, as it erased the entire thing !
Oh well.
Here is a parts list of the sponsored products so far. I still,.... have to make my mind on the type of cam. It's been 50/50% here on CC if a solid roller cam will make it o the street. Some of the thought is higher HP & RPM, the other is the unmistakable sound of a solid roller.
My two best buds that have the auto shop and chassis dyno and, that we race 360 winged sprint cars with, all along have said the solid roller. I'm hoping that with the Isky EZ-Roll lifters will not have an issue !
What do you think ?
The Cobra God has been very good to me, supplying me with top quality manufactures and their parts. Again, what do you think ?
It's been a long hard road but, I'm very pleased.
