I'll say 2,730 lbs.

Later Mark.

Half as much as the '58!???

Last year it was 2740...put in 2 optima batteries and a A460 block and put me on a diet...It's 2630 now. I was actually surprised it was this light.

BS how did you guess that close? you holdin out on me! Did you know what the answer was?

Justin: It's NOT BS, just plain dumb ass luck. After having one or six Colorado Cool Aids, I just took a stab at it! I wish I could be that lucky with the state lottery for a couple hundred million - sigh !

Must have been your lucky day then. Crazy how things work sometimes isn't it? I was just kidding with you anyways.

Ok...was that before...or after a trip to the Port-O-John?

After an 1/8 mile pass Keith , so it was about 2 1/2 quarts low on alky....

Thats just (one full 1/4 mi. pass) at Norwalk

Thats about what mines gonna weigh it was 2735 with 4 gallons of gas but now its getting scj's and a small converter instead of the iron c8's and the big tci 11' breakaway converter so i figure about 100 lbs lighter.

Rick ,I had the 466 in it at Norwalk . It got alot better fuel milage than this 557 does

Dan what have you run with the 557 ?

5.52 is the best so far...kinda disgusting after the 514 cast crank deal went 5.50..But i think it's needing more carb with this engine. It was deadly consistant last time out, but just not where I feel like it should be. I haven't really got to tune on it much, something else has went wrong about everytime it's been to the track. I'm putting a Enderle Birdcatcher and tunnel ram on it this winter. If it's not any faster ,at least it'll look cool

I think that air thingy you got on there is why its not putting out any mph , it takes a certain amount of fuel to feed a certain size engine , if you put a air restrict-or on it that's the only way you can burn less fuel and not hurt something with that kind of compression.

I say you are correct Ky Jelly We'll find out when we change this thing to injection

Still bad azz

Yes Erv...starve yourself and lay off the beer...REAL FUN STUFF!!! It ain't bad being a little over weight
