Paul,
If it's not up on two wheels it's doin' handbrake turns on the black stuff. You got any pics with the tail on it?

When is the engine back together? I finished the shortblock of mine today.

G'day Brendan
Sorry about the late reply I've been on holidays.I dont have any photos with the tail on it yet,the jury is still out on whether it will remain on the car permently....dont know that it suits it.Still waiting on my engine,but it will be worth the wait.Richards spent weeks porting new 044 magnums and I am upgrading the 45 dells for 48idfs.I've also fitted a msd 6al spark box and coil...should go a bit harder.
When do you reckon yours will be up and running?
Cheers Paul

Paul,
That motor is going to GO! You are right about the tail, it's in the eye of the beholder. How much of a statement do you want to make driving around the streets. On the track is a totally different matter.
My motor is together now, just got to set endfloat (I need one extra 10 thou shim which I will pick up tomorrow). Should be painting in about 3 to 4 weeks. Hope to have it registered for the Nats. That'll be 18 months duration for the project! Check out Angry Gumby in members rides.
