Engine, clutch, can, and B&J has been installed have a few projects to complete yet. Need to build a new puke tank to enable the dry-sump tank installation. Also am in process of moving my Pro-Mag to the front of the engine.

Getting ready for Heritage race on April 10th.

Chassis all painted and friend of mine did all new wiring, new third member and axles installed, and friends dad machined a new spacer to fit the injectorator correctly.

Got car back together and ready for Funny Car Fever on the 10th.  After getting new axles and third member, ended up having to get new brakes to fit new axles.


Also, had body panels repainted and got a few on and I really like the color choice.

Working on my motor today . File fitting a new set of rings . I took an old piston and cut a notch out of it and put it on a rod for squaring the rings in the bore . It makes the job a lot easier .

Hey there Ricardo how is everything with you ? Not making too many changes just freshening the motor it needed a new set of rods so I thought I would change the rings and bearings while I was in there . I want to change the rear from a 4.56 to a 4.71 . My motor just seems to like power at higher rpm and I think this will help . I would like to be able to run 7.0 pro with it with out using a blower or nitro . We will keep trying ! Half of the fun in racing is tinkering with your car !

Today I bought a short block (freshly reconditioned, not new) and a set of Jessel rockers. The rockers are also gently used. Finished installing the Fire suppression system too.
A long way to go still but getting closer!

Hi Roger! I have a chssis of unknown origin that i had updated and improved over the past 20 months. I'd like to race with swjfa if i can get itto go fast enough. Just getting it to a safe roller status has been a big task but i've had lots of help from two great, talented guys. I'm looking forward to the coming months and making its first pass since i bought the car. Its an older car but does have a tag that expired in 2008! Will be getting it inspected soon then off to the painter. Nice meeting you.
