Re: New project
Well ,yesterday was the season finally for IHRA . Im on the bracket team with Sealy as my home track . Next weekend is the final for NHRA i am currently 13th in points and need to make the top 10 to get the points payback . We race Saturday and Sunday , then Sunday night we run race of champions which is a ladder of all seasons winners for king of the track . Hoping for the best
Got an update on the heads $750 for the repairs to the hurt head and a clean up around the guides with a basic flow improving polish job and full valve job . Should be don in a couple of weeks . Plans will be to put these heads on my current motor with a single plain intake and my plate . That will stop the exhaust leaks . and i will start next season with this combo . More than likely with a delay box in the truck .

Re: New project
Ran a 7.0 index race since the season was over and i was actually able to do well . I was number 1 qualifier with a 7.008 . My lights were in the .050s on .4 proo tree . 3 rd round i creamed the guy on the tree , but it spun when it came down from the wheelie . I drove it out to a 7.24 loss . Slicks where bald and to the cords . Just thought i had enough left to run on more race . Cords showing . Oh well .
About done for the season . Division 4 bracket finals this weekend in Ennis, Texas . Of coarse i have to change up the truck to try and footbrake it at this one race . I am putting the slicks off the S-10 in it just for this weekend . Plans for the winter are to buy a block and a set of pistons and build the "new" motor that i broke first of season . Looks like im going around 410-412 inch and 11.5-12 to 1 . Also swapping to E-85 with this change . Alot depends on the rules for next year . Im going to ask the Div 4 director at the bracket finals how the 2015 rules are going to be and build from there . Either No box or footbrake . I ought to put a delay box in it and move to electronics for the weekend .

Re: New project

Re: New project
Div 4 bracket finals , ended up finding my footbrake spot . Long story . I ended up brending the brake pedal away from the gas peddle , adjusting the rod into the master cylinder , and geasing that pivot point , readjusted the bars and went for it . I was late at first and was moving around on the launch rpm . I finally found a good spot at 2000 rpm . I could stage the truck with the brakes and they would hold . I also figured out the bump in pretty quick as last year i won a race off the footbrake . Ended up with 3-.036's and a .035 . Lost on a double breakout as i only had 11" to back up . Pretty tough at 100 mph . The more i loaded it up on the converter the less it smoked . Guessing the rings were seating in . Good outting none the less . Had a great time anyway .
Guess the next question is if we will have a footbrake or NO-E class next year . That will decide how things go . Definatly going to concentrate on the S-10 and getting to know it during the winter teardown .

Re: New project
Been more of the usual . Passengerside axle seal leaking . Pulled the rear fenders and mounted a set of 29.5 x 10.5 slicks . Need to remount the rear fenders . Been working alot lately . Not much drag strip time .
Things are not looking good for 2015 . They posted the calender and it looks like i would need to take 16 days of vacation just to run the season . Not good for me as i dont have that much time . we will see . Last year they posted the sechedule , then changed it which worked in my benifit . we will see .

Re: New project
Well the girls were in town and im a pian for them when shopping . "You might as well go racing" . Loaded up and went to the nitro jam deal in San Antonio . Had a good weekend . Ended up breaking out in the final friday night by .004 . The sun went down and the track was less than stellar . Truck started to drift to the right and by the time i noticed i was out of the groove and headed to the centerline . As soon as the driverside tire got out of the left groove it made a pretty hard left , i drove it out and never lifted and it landed right back in the groove and took a set back . I thought " no way i can break out now" well i was .004 under .
Saturday was kind of a different day . Alot more cars and more of a show . Track was better Got dowen to 8 cars and had the truck in a position to be .00? on the tree . Their wasw a young guy on a street bike that was killing the tree . during the draw i was in the last 3 cars and got a challenger , but the rush was on and left the set on kill set up in it . Should have just taken some out . I was .002 red and dead on 8 with a 6.90 dial to a 6.908 . I was my own worst enemy and it was my race to win . I ended up getting into the money both days and had a great time . Came close to free racing . Not bad for the first time out on 29.5 trues and a newly adjusted chassis .

Re: New project
Well we have a test and tune in late febuary , but it will be here and their races until the season opener in March . Motor is fairly fresh , trans was freshed higher up on the page . Belts and cert are new. Could probably use a set of front tires . Im pretty much ready .
I bought this Camaro and got a decent offer on the S-10 , so it will probably go . I have a nice pile of parts to build a street car class Luv if the right body comes along .

Re: New project
Hummmmm..... I don't know what that means . Just thought id throw up an update . I am having Eric @ horsepower Innovations build me a carb for next season . I am also upgrading to an Aeromotive pump and regulator to keep up with the extra needs of E85 . My big cartridge filter will be going away for a stainless screen type . I also have been testing local pump E85 and it shows to be 85% dead on . We will see how this works out . I have exhaust temp meter and im looking into a o2 data logger .

Re: New project
Quick update : I got the fuel system lined out . It is now set up for pretty much anything . It is -10 from the tank to the filter . Filter is on the pump inlet . Pump is Aeromotive SS which is good for 1000HP . -8 from pump to regulator which is a Aeromotive return style . -8 return to the tank and 2 -6 lines to the carb . Fuel pressure is rock solid . Started the truck up on pump gas then drained the tank and did the swapped the new carb . Got the fuel pressure lined out @ 7 psi . I am really happy with results although I didn't get to test Friday night due to a bent pushrod and broken rocker stud . I have no ideal what happened , went bang and lost #4 . Started with compression test which yielded 85# . Pulled valve cover and found this .
![]() Did a leak down while I had it down and all cylinders where low 90's at 100 psi. I had worries I got a head gasket or a valve , but I got lucky . A buddy of mine had a stud and we were able to pull the piece out of the poly lock . Bought 2 new pushrods and got it back together . Just kinda set the carb to the best running settings . Plans are to get it on a chassis dyno with an o2 or temporarily set one up and test at the drag strip . Pretty happy with the whole swap . Went up one heat range on plugs cause it was acting like it would load up a bit . That seemed to stop with hotter plugs . I added a good bit of initial timing also moving the curve to 20 with all the timing in by 2000 with a total of 36 . This took a lot of cam lope out . http://vid47.photobucket.com/albums/...ps178b8013.mp4

Re: New project
Well , went to start it today and it bucked . I pulled the plugs and it had water in a couple of holes . Looks like it got both head gaskets . Heads are off and going to be surfaced tommorow and gaskets are on the way . Also bought a wideband for it and will be moving the gauges around so i can see them better .

Re: New project
One of the heads was pretty bad off . Had both surfaced and got some real head gaskets . The ones i used when this motor was thrown back together were cheap out of a builder kit . Anyway got the heads back on and torqued today . Have the plug out so the pan can drain tonight . Trying to finish up assembly tommorow .
