Howdy all!  THis is my first post here, just and introduction.  I'm building a 180"FED.  I bought the chassis tacked from John Worm and I finished welded it.  Everything is done but the motor.  I have a 302 chevy that I want to use.  It is the motor may dad used in his D gasser in the late 60's.  I have a Hilborn injection unit that I want to use with alcohol.  I'm having a hard time finding a piston that will make 13:1 with 64cc heads.  I know, I could alot faster for less money using a 350 block.  Its sentimental. 
Anyway, its great to see a forum like this one and i look forward to the tips and stories.
Brian.

I;m building one with a 302 base Ford (331) I ran in a door car with alky carb so I say go for it  ;)

Brian:
Its a 302DZ block and fuelie heads.  The heads were ported by local builder/racer Sam Gianino. I am shooting for 500hp.  This is my first time using alcohol.  i have used racing gas for many years in door slammers.  I feel like i am starting all over with alcohol.
Thanks for the feedback!
Brian
