[Dragsinger]

Danny,

I will begin posting engine build photos soon. Just a few weeks away from assembly and checking and installing.

During the project planning I considered all the common SBC packages. While several are proven and capable of winning I settled with the package that uses a Holley carb.

I chose the 327/300 for the 1966 Corvette [and others] that allows the superseded Quick Fuel 585 carb.

I got with Gary Hettler for heads and intake. In addition, Gary has been a key resource for engine parts selection. He has a combination of proven parts that will give good performance without trying to re-invent a package.

I will do the final mock up and final assembly. While dyno testing is an option, the initial testing will be on-track. If it performs acceptably the focus will be refining the package to win races.

The race ready truck will be about 3255 pounds with driver and fit in GT/TC with an index of 11.10.

I expect the truck to qualify well and be capable of winning.

Some of the parts:

*Dart SHP block with BBC cam bearings and .904 lifter bore
*Mile High Crankshaft race prep w/.012 long stroke
*Manley rods
*Bill Mitchell piston forgings worked by REBCO machine
*Total Seal .043 x .043 x 3mm
*Comp Cams special SS 327 grind
*T & D Rockers
*041 heads by Gary Hettler
*Victor E intake by Hettler
*Quick Fuel carb, pump, regulator

More info and photos soon.
