It is alive again

[cdr]

Got my car running again after my SFT tool steel lifter fail, went back through the engine, did some more port work on my heads & the Indy intake, new T&D 1.6 rockers, I went hydro roller & used the high rpm Morel lifters, you can set these .020 from the bottom out of the lifter plunger, the old SFT cam was [email protected],.570 lift, ran 116 mph 3000DA,4100lbs, new hydro roller from Hughes is 255in,258ex @.050,,.608 .613 lift, also went from a 2800ish converter to a 4000 custom built lock up converter for my A518 trans from PATC , car feels MUCH better & faster, if the weather is good will go to the track next week,the 14th, will keep Y'all posted.

A good charger is hard to find. The trend seems to be to put a high strung hi $mill in a car with stock rear end and tires drive it for 500 miles and then sale it.lf they had nt of overdone it they would still have their car we all appreciated
