Well, then, when the stripper comes into the DQ and does a lap dance for 30 min, I'll be taking the tranny out of the car. I doubt seriously if you'll be watching the car!

The 305 heads suck, don't flow, they do raise compression, but the overall effects are negative when added to a 350. Any other gen 1 head will fit depending on the size of the bore and the size of the valves, but any good engine builder checks all that anyway, right. The combustion chambers of the 305 heads is significantly smaller than the 350's due to smaller cylinder volume. You can get 49 cc chambers on the Dart Iron Eagle heads, that bumps the 305's compression up alittle and offers significantly better flows on both the intake and exhaust. The only benefit of the 305 is the stroke, which equates to torque. They work ok, but your still down on cubes for the serious HP freak lying hidden in all of us. Will it suffice for a z? Sure, it'll work fine, spank most anything out there and live awhile. But you still have 2 bolt mains so your power potential is somewhat limited. All in all, though the 305, when properly outfitted can make some decent power, although not as much as the 350 can or anywhere near what the 400 can.

:lmao: It looks very nice warren, I'm sure all the cockroaches, crickets, chiggers, lightning bugs, moths, spiders, grasshoppers, ants and snakes along the road will appreciate seeing their reflection when you drive by. Personally, I like it! I'm jealous, but you'd better sleep next to the car so someone doesn't take it.

I doubt it, methanol and N2O go together like a hand in a glove. Leave toluene for painters. Nothing like 150 octane rating of methanol along with it's high latent heat of vaporazation to cool the intake charge way down to the point of icing the manifold!!!! I use nickle plated steel fittings, anodized aeroquip fittings and I've never had a problem with corrosion of the aluminum. If you leave liquid methanol on the aluminum for extended periods of time, you will have a problem at some point. I haven't reached that point yet.

Your shop teacher is alittle underinformed. Knife edging of cranks is usually reserved for high end motors that are trying to extract every HP potentially available. Crank windage is a big one, and it entrains air into the oil on wet sump systems. I'm not sure if it will make a difference but all those little hp adders add up at some point in time. I think the general point is to spend your money on what nets you the biggest gains first. If your shop teacher thinks it shortens the life of motors then he shouldn't go visit a nascar engine room or watch superspeedway engines do 9000+ rpm for 500 miles plus qualifying!!!

Warren, you've gone over to the "bling" side!

Well, thin thoughts. I saw a guy, Ray Zamora, take a 350 chevy and bore it .125 over to make his own 377" or so motor. He ran it at the drags until a rod let go and windowed the block. Cylinder walls were very thin but it worked. Might of worked alittle better and longer with better rods and some hard block in a short fill.

The closest thing you'll find is a Lenco. At least that's worth a crap.

What kind of Texan are you? Bush is from texas which means you have to automatically not only like him but LOVE him! Geez, you could be shot in TEXAS for saying anything bad about BUSH. Maybe you should switch to beaver in stead of bush. I mean really, poo poo on your political thread and your hurt? What kind of wussy texan have you turned in too? OMG, somebody call 911, Mike is "hurt"!!

I think it's tragic and extremely sad. So much negative stuff going on in her life, only to have this kind of an ending. Doesn't seem right by any stretch of the imagination. Mike Kelly has only spoken with a few strippers. Really, I find that hard to believe. As for the twins, well, all I can say is that I envied her daughter!

Wow, wonder what the reserve is?

:lmao:

That desire will be quickly replaced with "THE NEED FOR SPEED"! Warning the surgeon general has determined that going fast may be addictive. Special treatment programs haven't shown any decrease in addiction tendencies. Side effects may include being broke, unusual dreams, loss of sleep, extended nights in the garage wrenching and uncontrolled buying of hotrod parts from Summit, Jegs and EBAY! May result in the loss of wife/girlfriend. In the case an erection lasts longer than 4 hours, stop and gas up, you'll find a new exwife/exgirlfriend.

The sound of that tank motor was incredible. Mike, if that's the only mistake you ever make then you'll be doing good. Your not the first and won't be the last. Oh, I heard that there was an astronaut woman in Jail looking for a date! And she says it was all a big mistake! Talk about psycho!!! Here awhile back I was talking with a friend about women and how manipulative they can be and how hard it is to be married these days in these times. His daughter came from the back of the store and informed me and him that "she has been happily married for 15 years!!!!" I said "sure, that's easy, you are married to a guy, try being married to a woman!!!!" She shut up and promptly left the store in a huff!!

Well, at least you learned. Call MIKE, beat it into his head would you.

I'm waiting for the popcorn, oh, and a coke.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Me want one!

Ahh, the trained eye of Jon.

Ah, you demonstrate the essence of the untrained eye. No offense taken mike. It's ugly to you but it's been kicking a$$, so it's not what it looks like, it's how fast it is. A body man I am not. Paint doesn't make it any faster but if it'll make you happy I'll paint it.

Like this; and this;

Actually, I was trying to put plexiglass windshield in it. I don't think they let passengers in it anymore, but it does have a passenger seat with a 5 point harness. IMO it would be fun. We'll see. Pic's?!! Your killing me. Hang on.

That is soooooooooooooo Funny!

Not z related, except that working on vehicles in general is good. The 509" motor is in, bolted up and awaiting fuel lines, pulleys and exhaust headers. I got a good deal and got some rewarder headers off a boat that somebody had hacked up, so I'm going to fab me some zoomies out of those. They have nice 2.250 primary tube size, which is what I was looking for. First big race of the season is in Amarillo, TX later this month. Thinking of going there to try it out. It's a 2 day event with mud racing, sand drags, rock crawling and my personal favorite, a topless carwash! All women of course! :biggrin:
