650HP stock block

[ultraflo]

Thanks Jim, I'm looking into both a crank scraper and a windage tray for my Moroso pan...

I think wheelie bars are a bad idea ...I wouldn't even consider them on a 9 sec car. I have an adjustable McLeod setup that allows me to adjust how hard the clutch engages... that will be one of the 'bugs' to work out of the new combo when it is completed... along with the strut/shock valving, etc.

I have ARP 1/2" head and main studs for the R-block, and had the stock block studded and girdled... I degreed my cam to the specs supplied with the cam card, and it was the first time doing so, and I did it over about 3-4 times to make sure I kept coming up with the same numbers... and did. This was in '99 and haven't degreed a cam since... so I'll have to go through all of that again when I decide on another grind.

Thanks Kevin for the info on the LE lubricants...

And Eric, it'd be nice to line up with you sometime, either ride will do, but I prefer you bring the Nova, of course.
