Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Larry,
The level of "Blueprinting" in this engine is nothing short of amazing. I hope it brings you the FS/D class Wally once again. Frank |

Mr Vic stuff is Bullet fast and the car is a work of art. To have a chance I’ll need everything I can get. And if I try to go to Super Stock that Patterson young man is way fast. Both Chevys run killer MPH.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Got some tooling finished today, will finish one in the morning. Patsy is on her sister trip so my list of honey do?s is real short this weekend. I should get a lot accomplished.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Best laid plans of men and mice. Long story short it blew up in my face. Maybe a 50% weekend

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
The 60mm cam uses straight roller cam bearings that have positive stop location. I don?t know the difference in expansion rates if any between brass and aluminum. I would hate to guess wrong and turn something loose during a pull.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I had two torque wrenches checked today. The Snap-on checked rite on throughout the range. With the non Snap-on wrench, the higher the torque setting the greater the error. The error was almost 10%. Was it enough to pull the threads out of the block? I don't know.
