Len Imborgno - Jim Skelly - Performance Preserves

My little (6'7") brother bought a '64 mustang and started bracket racing in '64. He brought home trophies that were 3' tall. The best I ever got was about 18" with a lot more car in heads up class racing.

Hey Bruce,
I got my first 10 this morning. The track was semi decent and I ran a 10:991 in my 4000 lb hay hauler on pump gas.

Congrats! I would been there but I'm so backed up at the shop......congrats again and give me a call when you want to look at the suspension.

That was with a 1.58 60' time. Think how good it's going to get when we get it hooked up.

Wow....that's making some power...

I put this one together with the idea that it would be the last motor I will build.
The high compression stuff just doesn't live and I wanted a pump gas motor that would get me down the track and be able to haul some hay during the week.
It's a Merlin 111 block, Scat 4.25 crank , 6.385 Eagle rods, Mahle coated pistons, Dart Pro 1 heads, .230-.188 valves, Comp Cams .714, .714, 298/302 @ .050, T&D shaft rockers, Merlin X intake, 1150 Dominator, MSD, 2 1/8" headers, we used all the good stuff.
See you at the cruises.
