likely another stock bottom end.

LOL! Glen, the motor was yanked from a '72 Torino, cut-off wheel clearanced pistons and bolted my top end on. Pure junkyard and it ran pretty well. Didn't hit the 9's but got close, we figured it had less than 8:1 compression....ugly but served it's purpose when the 408 cracked.

Backyard style!

New build is a DIY turbo on my '86. It should have the jam to run into the 10's and when the block goes boom...I'll figure something out then...likely another stock bottom end.

my version of the story sounded better...

oh ya...next time I tell it...its going ta be a 250 shot...

& run 8s of course...

Pump gas 408 on a conservative 150 shot...why I rolled out on the hit I'll never know.

Junkyard 351's final ride, every colour smoke possible and 7000+rpm!

A 250 hit would have been interesting, if it lived it would have made a killer 1/8 mile pass and probably sent a half dozen rods out by the 1000' mark LOL!

Oh yeah...it was on a street tire too. Hoosier drag radial and MT ET Street radials only at that point. Only change to the car from street duty to strip was the air pressure in them.

^^ Nice passes. So much more competition in the 10s.
