The 402 is port injected.

Are you sure?
Do you still want to race the monster motor FS/D against my slow moving elephant ?

Installed a different converter and was pleasantly surprised one day and disappointed in the next day performance. It’s trying to tell me something, I wish I was a smarter listener.

Next step is a change in transmission ratios. Baby steps now.

Starting to receive parts to modify for the valve train.

Santa’s bringing me a better lathe. I need to get a lot done quickly or Mr. Vic will just get smaller going down the track. If I’m not the lead dog the view never changes.

The lathe I purchased is 1970 model and it needs a good cleaning. It’s a 17 X 60 Summit with very little ware. It does have a Buck 10 “ adjustable 6 jaw chuck. It’s a little low on head stock oil so we have some on order.
