1955 Chevrolet Q/SA Build

Back working on the ol Silver Bullet 55 Q/SA as a long wait for some new engine components finally came to an end. Got the motor back together and made the trip to Larry Allen's dyno in Indiana. The goal of making a little over 1 horsepower per cubic inch was made, so I will probably take the car to the Indy LODRS in 2 weeks. Dyno operator was impressed with how well balanced the new carb was, (typical for a Deano carb) and how the engine responded to timing and other changes. Well we will see how it runs in a couple of weeks. Just hope it is not going to be high 90s then. Check back in a couple of weeks for details.
