Started the above "belly button engine" for the first time this morning and have been grinning so hard I've got a face cramp :D. 370 cu in, Milodon block, dart heads, 8.5- 1, with a BDS 8-71 and bugcatcher, 80A-1 pump on alky. Very simple mild setup with a flat tapped cam and MSD 7AL-2 ignition. Previously have run a mag but had to try this. At 10% over, it sounds like a giant killer. Swapped the pulleys to 10% under, re-fired and it still sounds good. Bad batteries in the timing light, duhhh, will fine tune tomorrow.

Iknow I am partial to small block's but one with a blower is the coolest! When I was younger Dale Hall had the baddest blown alcohol dragster around . He was alway's the guy to beat! Best of luck with yours.

I remember those days. one time at Englishtown summernationals, norm is playing with the buzz box for the mag. he says 'ah, that's close enough'. dale went and set low et. dale and norm were always fun to be around.

You're not supposed to be able to see in front of you.
