Great Point !!
That is what the Circle R was all about on your car !!
You set a National Record........just clicked !

A Big Congratulations !!

That is an OBD (Official Big Deal) :D

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

SHHHHH!!!! Its really a SB2 w/ a sheetmetal and splits under all that greasy LT1 junk!! LMAO!!!

Thanks Dan but I'm almost embarrassed about it. There is no record in D and I only went 12 under. I did it cause the Tech guy told me there was points to be had. (misinformed-no points) I got the motor sealed. To make it official I need to go thru teardown which is a PITA in this car. I plan on dropping to C/PS very soon. Probably before Jackson at the end of the month.

KENNY....Congratulations !! You took advantage of a good thing...

I am trying to get the one in F or G...Just happen to have a lot of competition.
So what if it was 12 under...you have proper bragging rights!!

Think I will come bearing parts and come early.
Lot of guys griping my car is not legal.
If you are there it will be a snap to put it back together.

Need to bug Mike Baker about getting Points for Setting National Records.
Guarantee you will see a few NHRA guys trying to dominate that opportunity.

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

I like the way you think! Main thing I got to do it put the headers on. I havent removed the stock manifolds yet and I PRAY I dont snap off any of the old bolts. Yep, bug Mike Baker. I think some points would be good. From what the tech guy was planting in my head, I would get 20 for setting it in D, can only get those once. THEN I could get another 20 by dropping down to C and setting that one. I thought it was too good to be true as 40 bonus points at the end of the season could turn a zero into a hero right quick!

Nice meeting you too Daran. Don't know if I mentioned it but I work for the Fire Dept down here for my real job. I just looked and I'm on duty on the 22nd. Might be able to get off but I'm already trying to get a couple shifts off the next weekend for Jackson, SC. We'll see.

I noticed that Mike.

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

Well, Looks like I need to get BUSY!! LOL! I was going to go down to C for Jackson, BUT Since the GAUNTLET is Thrown........:):):)

Seriously Mike how much did they want to see when you set it. I'm not real excited about teardown and its OBVIOUS this motor has never been apart. PM me if you want.

Re: Project Pure Stock Debut
 

Kenny,
They will check bore,stroke,deck clearance,piston dish in my case,cc head, gasket thickness,cam lift, look at lifter,runners..... duration,spring pressure?
Jim Woods knows my engine well,probaly has my specs memorized LOL

The best way is take your car apart @ home,have head,intake etc. clean ready to go back together,I always set head,intake,bolts,pushrods rockers etc., all back in place @ home basically put all back together and just start bolts,that way you don't get to track putting back together and find out you left something @ home.
Show up on first day of pro am Friday of Sat. and Sun races,I always call the tech man and see when is good time to be there.
Since yours has'nt been apart this would really be good ideal, in case you have broken bolts or anything else that might need fixed. Measure head diameter of valves,they get bigger after miles,will flatten out 45 and make burr,best description around valve and cause head to measure big.
LT won't be too bad to put back,lot easier than LS,I know guys take heads off LS in the car,but I believe I would just as soon drop engine out bottom, I had to put water plug in pass head of my sons I left out ,I thought I was going to have to drop engine back out to get it in there, finally got it though.
