Matt Shaff's Engine Shop / Looses oil pressure
« on: August 16, 2023, 05:38:59 AM »
I have a Dart little m block 400 Cid fresh build with a melling 10550st high volume oil pump and a 7qt pan. When I make a 1/4 mile pass it looses oil pressure the last hundred feet or so and after I let off it comes back. I go through the traps at 7800 rpm could it be sucking the pan dry?

« on: July 07, 2021, 04:12:08 AM »
I am running a 383 SBC with a 8-71 in a FED and and rebuilding the power glide. Should I upgrade to a 8 clutch pack or will a new 6 and band be fine? I don't think I make any serious hp the car runs in the 8.5 area but I did smoke the clutches in there now.

« on: March 07, 2019, 09:30:09 AM »
We are having a nostalgia drag race on July  6-7 in Kearney Nebraska. This is our first year so we are keeping it simple,  there will be a nostalgia eleminator class that will consist of front engine, center steer, dragsters, funny cars and altered's. We will be running a .4 pro tree and index starting at 7.5 increasing at. 5 to fit the group of cars that show up. No electronics or automatic shifters but trans brakes will be permitted. There will be cash payouts for both days. There will also be a hot rod class pre 1972 no electronics or automatic shifters using a sportsman tree. Come on out and enjoy a great weekend

Front Engine Dragsters / nostalgia eleminator type event
« on: December 18, 2018, 12:32:20 PM »
We are having a nostalgia race at our local track this year and im trying to organize a nostalgia eliminator class, front engine, center steer. No electronics. There are only a couple cars on our local area and am trying to draw some cars from the surrounding states. This will be a 2 day event and im raising up some decent prize money and am wondering what the best format would be to run. Would race both days and payout both days, or do qualifying or a test and tune first day and eliminations the next? Any input on what people like at other events would be great.

Spud Miller's Cave / after blower carb
« on: August 10, 2018, 03:39:05 PM »
I have a new qft  850 blower carb I have been dialing in the question I have is Holley says you need hallow nozzle screws for 40 and larger discharge nozzles will it matter if I run hallow on 35 nozzles?

Front Engine Dragsters / Transmission shield
« on: September 08, 2017, 08:46:37 AM »
Is anyone using a CSR  supershield? I'm needing to update my tranny cover and flexplate shield and was looking at the csr, they seem to be tight fitting to not take up much room. I have a blanket on now and was wondering if this would be better.

Roo Man's Room / Older fed
« on: August 09, 2017, 10:59:09 AM »
Looking at an older fed, last time it was certified was 1994. What should I watch for and how much would need done to get 're certified? It's 4 hours away so I have only seen pictures and wondering if it's worth the drive to check out
