Nine page thread in 1 day. Purdy' big thread I'd say. Gonna take a big block to pull this 1. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
how about a blown straight 6!
I think a 2 liter civic with a hair dryer could handle it too. NO wait, my mistake, that's my diet pepsi bottle. :whacked:
Decrepitly, Oldman2 comments that I was running my '35 3 window at San Fernando and Pomona 2 years before Dave was sitting in his karts. I think I'll drink some milk and go to bed.

For what it's worth, I was racing karts 8 years before you were born......
Age is all relative, I guess.....
Yeah, 1958, same year I was rollin' around in the back seat of my '47 dodge with Betty Willis :LOL: Ken and I were workin' the dragstrip on weekends. I was techin' and Ken was flaggin'.Quote:

At least you had the luxury of a back seat. It's a lot easier than working around the steering wheel and floor shift. Oddly enough, I was rolling around with Jeanette Willis. I wonder if they were distantly related????

Mine was easy to identify. She had a black and blue mark in the shape of a Ford shift knob permenantly embossed on her right buttock.

That hit the nail on the head. Who said anything about a big block? Reread. I'll finish reading now.Quote:

I think the original posters point was not necessarily between Big blocks and small blocks. 383 or 406 SBC weighs the same as as a 327, 302 or 283. It will also cost about the same to build and modify. The end result in most cases the bigger motor will produce more power. In fact it will generally cost more to pull 350 hp out of a 302 than it will to pull that same power out of a 383. I think the poster makes a good point and did not perceive his purpose as telling others what to do, only stating his personal advice. I happen to agree with him. I have seen small motors out run big motors too, but in most cases the old addage that there is no substitute for cubic inches is true, unless you add in other limitations or factors.
as always, read my sig line
