I believe the engine will pass a NHRA teardown, parts, lift ,size, stroke, cc's. I need to get a few gaskets,spare parts, and I should be fearless, nervous but fearless, for teardown.

Do plumbing, make travel caddy, get fuel, load and go to dyno. Cross your fingers.

We planned to race it in March of this year, but that didn't happen. We hope to have it at BG in Aug. If things go bad we will put the pink car in service.
