Thanks for the quality replys guys. I really love mechanics and mustang building/racing I'm on my 3rd one. Excellent post Jim I really didn't know exactly what a scraper did or when one was needed. I agree with Chris that I would hate to ruin my engine by installing a scraper wrong. It looks like I don't need one yet. Just started to work on my 331. My goal is hopefully build a reliable 500hp stroker that, with good suspension will hit in the 11's race 2 weekends a month and drive on street some. You guys answer all my question with racing experience. Hard to find in southern Minnesota. We have alot of old Monte Carlos running 16-17sec time slips!! All I want is a quality built mustang engine that will pull the tires, run low 11's and be able to drive to Mcdonalds is that asking to much, haha

Thanks Trent
