Yes that is in the plan. That should help lots.

What do you think caused the crack? I have a Alterkation in my 65 Belvedere (yet to be driven). I also have a 540 Indy aluminum engine but, I am sure the car will be lighter than yours. Maybe less stress? Did you talk to Bill about the problem?

No. Never talked to him. Big car. Big HP = Big problems LOL.
My kid is a welder, so he beefed it up. Should be good now.

No, sadly I won’t be able to make it.

 

[Wookie316]

The more I dig into the 572. The more surprises I find.

 

[Wookie316]

-.005 Cloyes chain fixed things up.

 

[493 Mike]

It's nice that a smaller chain is even available. Like bearing under/oversizes.

Fathers Day weekend in the garage.

572 is up and running.

511 will serve as an emergency backup.

Yeah there is a difference. Big improvement.

Yep. I noticed it too.

Wingnut behind the wheel did his job today.

 

[RemCharger]
