I looked them over and thought about giving them a try if this last clean up does not work. Thanks for checking out the truck and yes, it is a fun ride.

I love a big cube SBC. I have a 427 SBC that was in my Camaro, but is going in my c-10 now. It's not a wild as yours, only 560-570's HP but still plenty of fun.

The thing that kept killing my brother and why he kicks himself for putting it off so long is it would always ruin a set of wilwood brake pads when it would leak. The worst part is needing to pull the axle and get an inside mic in the tube to verify the ID measurement but on a race car, not much of an issue to have something sit on the stands for a week or two torn apart if needed.

If it leaks after this weekend then I will have time to fix it. This is the last race of the season and the new season will start late Feb or Early March 2025. Hopefully its done so I can just go out and have fun with it.

I used the last two races of the season to test out my new engine. Saturday night was extremely scary. I went to the right lane, set the transbrake at 3500 rpm, shift at 6200 rpm and rev limit to 6800 rpm. First pass the truck wheelied and pulled hard to the right. Came very close to hitting the wall, got out of it. Ran a 6.53 with a 1.39 60ft. For pass 2 I went to the left lane, turned up the transbrake to 4000 rpm, shift at 6500 rpm and left the rev limit the same. Truck wheelied, pulled hard to the right, thought I was going to hit the tree, stayed in it. I hit the rev limit and I thought it did not shift into high gear. Ran a 6.39 with a 1.37 60ft. I decided I would turn it down to transbrake 3700 rpm and raise the rev limit to 7000 rpm. Ran a 6.30 with a 1.37 60 ft.

Sunday was much better. I decided which ever lane I got into I would move over to the left edge of the groove. That was the fix. Pass one left lane, .016 red light and ran a 6.29 with a 1.37 60 ft. Truck left straight, wheels up and no rev limit. Pass two, right lane, .06 light, 6.28 with a 1.36 60 ft. Truck ran straight, wheels up. For me this was a great run. Third pass, first elimination run. Left lane, .027 red light, got out of it. Ran a 6.36 with a 1.38 60 ft.
