Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

It started life as a 6.1, 370 cu in. It's now 420" .010 over, +.500 stroke
I do have another 420" engine build in progress, it will be much more " appropriate"..........for bracket racing.This message has been edited. Last edited by: "The Bender",

I changed to the single plane intake that's in the pictures from a dual plane and upped the launch RPM.

Thanks Fern.
That's what I thought too. 9.5# in that picture, I have since gone up to 10#, but also raised the launch RPM 800....
