novaman Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Hey Dizzy, hope there aren't any bridges or powerlines you need to go under. Top of your hood would be at about 45'. std powerlines min. height is 14' and bridges are about 10'8" and up. I think you just might have a slight clearance problem there. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R W Burgess Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 What I want to see guys, is the size of the torque wrench and how many people are required to torque down those heads!! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Let's see, umm the handle on that bad boy would have to be a mile long, I'd think!

1937hd45 Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I think these folks are just born smart, and develope skills along the way. That LRS record holding V16 diesel was once a tug boat motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stude8 Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 In Sept, 1993 when we ran the Studebaker Avanti over 200mph at Bonneville the Phoenix made its return run ahead of us. It took 20 minutes for the black cloud to disperse, looked like it was burning soft coal. It is a big devil to be making land speed records.

Guest imported_SKYSTHELIMIT Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Doesn't seam like it would have enough power for me, anybody know if any preformance upgrades are available like blowers, nitros, maybe some goodies from TA Preformance like an aluminum block. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
