Hey, thanks for the link! I saw a lot of people coming through from here and thought I'd check it out. The site is just getting started so any feedback or suggestions you can give would be appreciated.

Also, since this post went up I've gotten the dyno video up so you can finally hear it run.[ddev

Thanks

Thanks Bob. That is inspiring. I'd like to build one of those. I'm not sure that I could ever find a good core here locally though.

Gastrick,
Me too... I've been lookin' for several years now but no luck yet!

Bill Mitchell has a new aluminum 409 block for sale. It looks nice but I can't imagine how much it costs!

I can't believe they torqued the connecting rod bolts. How can one build a performance engine with such poor percision?

 

[Huneycutt]

Oh, we checked the bolt stretch on the first rod and when it matched up with the correct torque specs, torqued the rest. I guess I could have stated that in the video but didn't.
