Separate names with a comma.
What are the trans ratios and what rpm do you leave at?
On the empty stands, I will guess it has been that way most of the time. However, I looked at a video on You Tube (1981 NHRA Southern Nationals)...
Hi Randy; enjoyed story on your current driver on your website. Dave Clark
I ran a similar Rodeck/ BBC engine combo in a BB/FC (1978) and AA/DA (1979-80) but had 16" wheels w/ liners and Goodyear 1490 tire. We had a tire...
That would be my guess too. If the timing is way retarded, it could possibly put some flame out of the pipes. Back in the Jurassic period (1979)...
At 1981 Sportsnationals (BG) we had trouble with a bellhousing cover in the staging lanes (TAFC semi-final). Our opponent (Don Gerardot)...
Is there a big difference in chamber CCs? I also agree with starting the cam at even. RE the flames; I have had flames out of the pipe because...
I would have loved a "think tank" like this when I raced alky (1978-81).
Team I was with blew an engine at Indy 1980 (AA/DA) in Pro Comp first round. A TF crew chief said "that looks like a good ten bagger" (ten bags...
One of the few Pro Comp cars you could hear the tires squeal (when standing behind it).
I will guess ~1600.
At times it did, leading to separate classes in 1981. There were weight breaks RE hemi, canted valve, or wedge. The dragsters had an edge with...
Almost 30 years ago (TAD), I found the larger motor (4.0 stroke) ran stonger in 2nd gear than the stock stroke BBC. I had the same blower and OD%...
I was the third owner (1976-79) of Tony Casarez's first FC (built in 1973 for Mike Burkhart). It too was a rugged, well built chassis. He later...
Back when I ran a BBC or Rodeck (Jurassic period) 10.5 to 11 worked best.
That is odd (I guess). Many years ago I ran the same basic combo (~11-1 compression) with a smaller BBCs (441-503). With a Cragar intake, 2 and...
I would say the 80 cu. in. will add some power and torque. I would think you will need to add some fuel to feed that beast. How heavy is the car?
This was my experience too (28 years ago) w/ a BBC TAD. DC
I had the same thing happen to BBC TRWs (after 24 runs) 28 years ago, but I don't think the pistons were really designed to be used in a TAD. We...
I remember Manzo's first win there (1981) and his quote before his semi final vs. Veney. "Veney has beat me so many times in the past, its my...
