Well it was more of a pending failure than a choice.
The car was built for the track, especially the engine.
Even though it was putting 800=HP at the crank, it was on its last legs.
This new one should be pushing 800 as well, with the heads and mods done.
We keep hitting BS delays. Having trouble finding the right ARP head bolts
for a Dart Big M block and Brodix BB-2 heads. Every other configuration in the
world is in the books, except that one. It had studs previously that went into
the water jackets. This new block does not. It just arrived Friday. Got a little
done Friday evening before we got to the head bolt issue.
