THE LEGEND · 08-30-2012, 01:23 PM

I was told that the truck Wong is driving has a Billy Plage Motor in it. Congrats to all.

An Autozone engine could have been #1 with that combo this year.

But congrats to Wong, Marshall, and Stew Pidasole.

Autozone engine may be exagerating a little, but we get your point,it's about like the 4.3 started out..
I don't doubt Jim Marshal's engine will pass unless they have overlooked one small detail the truck has a 72 gram heavier assm weight than the vette has.
I have heard that there will be a piston and rod coming out it,but we'll have to wait and see.

I hope everyone makes it through the barn,but I doubt there has ever been Indy that everyone checked legal,it would stink to go be bounced.

I think thats awesome, congradulations to all involved, so how close to a Dime Rocket is this truck ?

He went 1.55 under going less mph in the quarter than in the eighth!

ron mattson · 08-30-2012, 03:12 PM

now thats funny, probably thru it in neutral and coasted after the 1/8th lololololol!!!!!!!!
Only to conserve fuel of course, so they would have more beer money.

If its so easy why didnt you do it?

Mark Lewis · 08-30-2012, 03:49 PM

I don't think Jim's motor is legal the way it was in the corvette. There is a big difference in head cc's. shortblock should be fine though.

Mike Taylor 3601 · 08-30-2012, 04:37 PM

The truck does have 72 gram heavier assm. weight than corvette so if is on min for vette it would'nt pass.

OK,
Chip is correct, Bill Plage did a hell of a job with the motor.
Jim sold the Corvette with the motor & spare parts .
The truck idea came from Jim I think, I'm not sure but I know we talked about it over 6 months ago.
Bill spent the better part of two months building the 350 !
I'll put a $1000.00 up that it will pass tear down, Bill is a good friend and I know He checked and doubled checked everything on that motor...Because He knew it would go to tear down,,,,,,
Those that don't know Bill should know that He's raced for 40 plus years and has always built his own stuff.
He moved to North Carolina 20 years ago and for a time worked for Hedrick Racing and Bill Davis Racing in the engine shop,, Enough said,,,,,
Is it a soft combo ? yeah, but no more than the new stuff out there...
Can it run faster ? You'll need to ask Paul or Jim.. lol
Congrat's to Bill , Jimmy, Paul and Guy's !!!
You earned that one !!!!
