The 59 is far more superior to mine, hopefully not for too long, he has a 1776 with a 120 cam a twin 40 dells, i am just about to put my new motor in with this spec Smiley

8 dowel crank and flywheel
Scat 3/8 I beams with ARP bolts

heads 40X37 mild port with twin springs
Compression 10.0:1
Scat 1.25 rockers

40 webers with 32 venturis

which should be good fun Cheesy (compared to the weedy 1200 i'm used to)

Hi, I am new here too, but have been lurking for a while.
In the picture you can just make out the nose of the black 59 from Big Bang this year.



That was some good racing.

Got a few things planned but nothing major, mainly a tidy up and go thru the back end to try make most of the motor.
Got a pair of AVO coilovers on there now so dropped down for cruising about but can raise up to stock height and stiffen up if i fancy a bit play on the strip Grin
Getting loads of wheel hop now though so looking to tie in shock towers/frame horns and put a mid mount for good measure.
 You got any more planned for yours?
