Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Well, folks... had some problems yesterday... floated valves just before the 1/8...shifted at 5700, and track wasnt hooking...i believe i was loosing atleast .04-.05 in 60ft...car was real soft on launch...i felt the spin, but it was a gradual dig, all the way through low gear... So , i may have tagged a valve, not major damage. Will leak it tomorrow, and go from there. Will have new cam ground and go to limited travel lifters, if i find out that this is the problem. Im hoping i sucked dirt into the carb, after i did all the new fuel system work...

Re: Update E-F/SA Bird Build...
Congrats Brent!
Sorry test did not go as well as planned, but you have a legal motor in the car, and at the track! Ton of hard work (and money lol) starting to pay off. I will just keep watching and stay jealous! Maybe I will have the pile of parts put together one of these days for my 67 bird. Between weather and work, and son's Jr dragster, I have not even had my car out with the IHRA crate motor, let alone any work on the 400. Good luck! Ken Stock 412 67 Firebird Convertible G/CM |
