I'll probobly keep the motor and I may need the 455 block...I'll know in a week.....A guy contacted me about trim and glass so if he comes through I'll throw this car into the dirt with the 425 in it...I found a cage, quick change rear and wide 5 huds already....may even have a sponsor lined up!!!!

Good to hear you are healthy enough to actually RACE. that is great. As for the 455 motor, you may want the block, I got a guy that wants the crank, , and I am sure I can sell the heads pretty easy so I just got to find a buyer!

Let me know and I can get one more motor out of the collection!

I also have another 425 that I scored with the A heads on it. In case you pop that one.

Yeah, after years of chasing back problems it turns out my right leg is almost 3/4" shorter than the left....back surgeons tried to cut but it ttok a foot doctor to spot the problem...a$400 pair of shoes and I'm good to go.....should have been an ausiie........tire stagger would turn RIGHT real well.....anywho.....I figure a rev limiter set at 6200 and a good oil pan and it should last a season since it's just playin a few times a year...mild freshen and the right cam....400hp/500tq is enough...i can bring the car in under 3400 easy and maybe 3250 since there are NO restrictions as long as it looks old and uses 30 yr old chassis/body.....DIRT racing rules......ifGod wanted us to race on asphalt he would have paved the world!!!!! later eric
