Default Got a hall pass

After the races this week, Lisa says "We got to get a car to race". So I snapped this up before she could change her mind. Its just a roller, but has a 6 point cage thats cert'd, built rear, hurst quarter stick and a few other goodies. Got it for 800 so I just get to get a 351 and a C4 and it will be ready.

I can find you one. good thing about cars from here, no rust. I have already started making a list of parts. I found a guy selling a DSS 331 kit for 500 brand new, he is just wanting it out of the garage so I may go that route for now till I get the big stroker built.

I was racing my truck and I think she didn't want me to break it. I am gonna get her behind the wheel of the car to let her see what kind of fun it is.

I know someone who did that. He built race cars and thought his wife would like to drive souped up mustangs. Then he got an F150. Now she takes the truck over the sports car at every opportunity.

Default Update

Block is going to the machine shop next week. 331 shortblock with main girdle, looking at some AFR heads, I picked up a Holley Systemmax lower intake and a box upper. Now the question put a hair dryer on it or spray it. I will come up with what I will do in the next few months. My goal is low 10s.
