I don't know what I enjoyed more...the engine sound or the $h!t eating grin on Glenn's face. Congratulations! Is that a proportioning valve you are using to adjust the idle fuel flow?

Filled the block with Hard Block
Sprinkled it with Holy Water.
I may be making my own balancers -  too hard to find a 5- 3/4" one  except for the ROMAC.
Been too busy remodeling the new building fr Alkydigger.com  to move into ,,,,so the car has sat for a while.
The last pic was with the 6 cylinder JEEP engine (RIP )  sold it to a hungry guy on the West Coast.  :>)

Hi,

   New here, so hi to everyone.  Just mocking things up before final assembly of my FED, a little plumbing, wiring some mounting tabs and a belly pan under the motor and i should be all set.

SBC, 400, 11:1,  Dart alum. block, Dart Pro 1 heads, 6:71 5 under, glide, 4:10, beadlocks.  Roller stuff and one of Spud's mag's.

Been a while since i drove a FED, got bored with the RED stuff..lol.

Great site.

Brian

Finished the launch controller install.  A bunch of accessory wiring (shift light, rev limiter). Made some brackets and mounted a rev limiter.  Finished my new battery box for starting the car.  Looking forward to testing next weekend.
