and don't forget the right equipment! the front-loop gave instead of the driver giving! kinda like the crush-zones the engineers design! if i was racing for points this year, we coulda made it drivable tonight!

some duct tape anda hammer and she'll be good as new!!!

Backoff: closer to a porta-power and a welder! lol and we need to throw in a couple of rims and a tire too!

ooops, was a big one then. Jerm done well LOL

Stevie: he managed to get a "little" loose off the 4rth turn, found the concrete wall on the front-stretch (rims,tire and flattened right side of car) was trying to get to the pits (pit entrance is off of turn 2) another car was trying to pass him on the outside, he got clipped and fount the inside wall on turn 2! that got the front end of the car! you have toi remember that he's driving in a class that is only kids! it was his first wreck! lol i hope it's his last! he did manage to drive it back to the pits! or should i say limp it back!

Ive just seen picies :oD

Stevie: you did? lol i guess i see who rates around here! oh wait a minute i was there! lol gawd i hope you didn't get any pics with me in them! lol

yep you in them LOL in your black shorts LOL

Stevie: OMG! and your computer is still working?

needed wide screen LOL

Stevie: lol on the phone with the momma, she's laughing about the piccies!

Stevie: are we the only two on this site that actually do something in the performance world, and not just drool over pics and specs of what everyone else is doing? not meant to get on anyone, but it would be nice to hear about what anyone else is doing!

for suree, would be nice to hear some more

I'm still working on my project car. I've got a '69 Pontiac GTO that i'm restoring. Give me a few more months and the monster wil be reborn. I'm eyeing a 502 create motor for it....

what sort of fwbhp you expect Bob?

Backoff: any pics of the progress? and is it a show restore, or a drive restore? it would be shame to not drive one like that!

I just installed 2 500EFI's in a '42 Lightning (Fountain Boats)
these are 502 blocks with hp rods,pistons,crane roller cam,roller lifters,rocker arms,and a tunnel ram intake.
one engine sounded great...the other had a loose lifter. Mercruiser Raceing autherized me to readjust(had to cut a security tab) and I found # 8 intake lifter would not compress.
I ordered 2 new lifters,and 1 wouldnt compress,and th other barely would. that one I installed,and still rocker arm noise. Mercruiser Racing then sent me 2 more lifters,and nieher of them would compress.the adjustment on a new hydrolic roller cam is zero clearance and 1 full turn.hard to do with a non-compressable lifter.So the guys in Fondulac were going to send me another engine.I decided to dis assemble the lifter...dumped the cleaning solvent out of it...volla...it compressed!!...reinstalled and redjusted the lifters...VROOM!! problem solved.

bwildman: and the lesson here is, don't be afraid to dig in!!! lol

Steviefwbhp=0 rwbhp will be 502hp @ 5200 RPM and 567 FT.LBS. of Torque.

tazman7474I will drive it most likely. I'll have to get ya some pics.

I meant FlyWheel bhp :o) rather than Wheel.
So do you not call the fly wheel the flywheel over there?

good amounts anyways mate :oD

Stevie: most engines are rated by what they'll put to the rear wheels now! at least over here!

we call it the flywheel lol. I just woke up so cut me some slack lol

i only know mine at flywheel, and its a lot less than Bobs at wheels LOL

Chinese cars are planning to flood the market at low prices in the near future!
what do you guys think of it?
For me chinese cars sucks!

Stevie: but if you break it down to hp per pound, i think you'll have a higher ratio than bob! lol

um mine is about 87 bhp to 1000Lbs, 190 bhp per tonne.

ANTICHRIST: what cars are chinese then?

Stevie: i wonder if they'll be as popular as the yugo!

Stevie: what about the trabant? (sp)

i cant believe i got hid by a glob on my own board
Harley, go away

Stevie...be careful what you say.Although most global mods are unbiased...there is one who is out to get you.Dont fall prey to her vindictiveness.

bwildman: OK

Taz.. the Trabant was bloody aweful too

Stevie: i remember seeing them coming through after that wall cam down! lol

looks like another rainy friday night and no racing for me! which means another week of not fixing dents and such! lol

park your ride in one of my tow-away zones tonight, I'll give ya some dents lol!

Backoff: i doubt you could do any worse than jeremy did a couple of weeks ago! from the damge he did to the car he must've been one hurting kid! good thing he's a teenager and damned near indestrustable! lol

I'm lookin for a website that can give me some info (either general on yr/make or specific to VIN nos.) for looking up used cars - everything I've found so far costs - any suggestions ??? Thanx :)

galpal: actually i'd say that was on-topic! but i'm not sure about a free site that will get that specific!

If it's registered in the state of FL I can hook you up, other than that you are best off with carfax.

Thanx for the input - Oregon - bit of a distance from FL - but appreciated just the same :)
