Gonna run this on in the Race Car for the Bash and see how it does.

Cool beans Dave Congrats

X2 on buying from trusted sources and being educated and know what you want and what you're getting into prior to the build

I think it's gonna run like crap, you should just give it to me for scrap now to save the embarrassment.

These kinda negotiations can take awhile.........

OK Dave I give you $100that make you fill alittle better

At a $100.00 I somehow doubt that you're any where near the reserve (LOL)

Hey Dave. We should put Cheap Skate in my low buck dragster and see what it'll do!

Might be fun !! Gonna run it in my car for awhile and see what it will do in a full body car.

Will it be at the Bash?

Yep. Thats the intent.

so much for that Idea.........

SOooo, you're saying it won't be at the re-scheduled bash...?

Probably not...... No more Vacation time and work is going to get heavy for the next few months.

Are you still thinking of selling the engine? Do you have a price?

OH! Hell we know your gona go EAST and see for your self if old Badlama is realy gone.

I'm Looking at building a similar combo. Was there much porting done the the heads? I'm looking at using scj heads! Do you think they would make 600hp out of box? or is that unrealistic? I was thinking 11:1 comp and maybe a hydraulic roller think it can be done? Any advise would be great!

I would strongly suggest a solid roller rather than a hyd. There are a lot of issues that come into play with valve train geometry, let alone the weight of those lifters. If you want a hyd for ease of maintenance, just do a flat hyd.

Thanks for the advice! Might go with a flat tappet cam then. Do you think high 500's-600hp is doable with out of the box super cobra jet heads from lem?

It's possible IMHO, but that would be leaving a lot on the table for what they could be. Have them ported and you will be happier.
