what kind of tire growth are you guys seeing. 4, 5, 6"

picked up the fed yesterday 9/3/2017. so stoked to have it now. now the fun begins for me. the build i think is just as much fun as going out and running it. i guess because you have something to do, idk lol. been kind of thinking about things over the last year of what i need to get etc and do. now i can see some sleepless nights thinking stuff to order and to begin finishing it off.
i have to say, Bill Comstock is an awesome person. He has done a bitchn job on the car and has been more then helpful answer any question i have, and as you can see in some (well all) of my post, i have lots haha. i also appreciate everyones input here as well. All said, im very happy with what Bill did for me and would recommend him for any fab, chassis, whatever you need help with.
anyways, here it is getting loaded up for the trip home. have to say, it barely fits in the 28ft trailer with 26ft on the deck. have about 12" in front and a few in the back. ill have to figure out which direction to load so its easy and the golf cart can fit, which i think it can.

here is pic of motor with the new heads. when Jeff got the motor, the heads the guy had were not good, they had a crack through the seat/port. they were OG iron heads. so, Jeff opted to pass on those and has been looking at options for heads. He found that Edelbrock makes a aluminum head for the 426. i think they flow like 420 out of the box.

they are only 1300 each which i think is a great deal especially considering the options available on the market. Jeff is going change the spring and retainers. he will blend the seat to help the flow a bit as shown in this article. http://www.hotrod.com/articles/port-edelbrocks-hemi-head-38-cfm/
motor is just mocked up, Jeff is still acquiring parts to do the build on it. he will get different valve covers. this isnt the final, its just put together on the stand so we can sit back and be in awe while bench racing and postulating the future ;D
