All night we trouble shooting the 6al digital box. still no fire... The box is just blinking about 5 times then quit. Gramz caused that 6al to short out talking about (And I quote) Harold's POS 3000cc going down the track running 14sec on the 8th mile (end quote).

Little set back. Getting brand new heads.. Comp Eliminator 48 by 40 and perhaps a more street friendlier cam not to hard on the valve-train.

I think Richie has the unlimited street class all wrapped up after running that 8.95 at Fontana last weekend -- -- My POS will probably never see the nines LOL

I can only 'hope and pray' to be kicked off the track with my street car for not having a parachute LOL

Here's his engine build

Can't wait to get this 2387cc completed and installed in the car Razz . The engine is to long block with alternator and stuff on. Hopefully the tapered push rods can finally be cut to length & installed. Then put on the headers and the 48 IDA carbs. Then prob we can get a start up on the ground for a break in.

Still waiting on the engine.. Not sure what else is the hold up. But the buggy got some love today. Tail lights, gauges, gas tank, headlight, and furl pump.
