Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I got the solvent changed out in my tank. Installed cam bearings test fit cam and it turned freely. Installed plugs in oil galleys and quit at supper time. For me I’m putting parts together maybe dyno early next week. I’m more than ready to here some 8000 pulls.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The wiring wizard, Bob Toy, will be here today to see about installing my Racepak. Some times it's best to have a pro do the work.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
A little delay had to rethink my bearing clearance. The crank is in, rear seal installed, roller cam bearings lubricated. I building this one on a bench without using an engine stand. I’m going to use a ladder to see where to degree the cam in, all of my benches are tall.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Building it the Glidden way, Mad Dog is definitely the Pro Stock GOAT, all others are mere imitations. Definitely looking forward to seeing Dumbo at Indy!

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I thought it might not stress the block as much and maybe everything will spin a little easier.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Getting ready to check where the cam centerline is.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Cam is where it’s supposed to be. I should be able to fill some more holes and stretch some bolts tomorrow.
Building this on a bench has been a little different. The more I work on it the harder it is to wrestle into the next position. Has anyone looked up ring gap placement for the five different parts of the ring package. Several ideas to look at. |
