69 camaro running in the 10s

If the air is good in April he will be on or under the record. Atco, Cecil County and Maple Grove are real fast when the air is good. Stay tuned!! And yes CHP does know the little tricks it takes to make the 302 fly!

Talked to two customers, one has a '68 L78. Engine made 458 HP on Burtonsville Machine dyno? I don't know them, that's where he dynos. Guy is tickled, stock everyting with .040" head gaskets, 143 cam, etc. That's big power for one of those engines in stock form. Runs on pump gas too. I was worried about that issue. Another guy, police officer, '69 Z28, car runs in the low 13's in the heat with street tires, granny shifting and closed exhaust. This 302 made 420 HP.

We are crating up our 302 this weekend.

Thanks again,

Bob

I know Burtonsville Machine.

Just found another round at the Dutch Classic race. Look at the wheelstand here. 10.58 on the brakes. Both cars ran too quick by one. Wow. Great eye candy for Stock Eliminator.

Well i tore down the ram jet 502,what a big bore ,ive decided im gonna build that for my car,i dont want to run the fuel injection unit i want to run a nice intake and carb,its an older 502 looks like 2000 build,from arizona speed and marine,the bore is 4.5 inches and the stroke is 4 inches, could i put a 4.25 crank in this engine,the heads look pretty nice alum 12363391,the rods are pressed in,i have it all torn down, every thing looks realy good,the pistons dont have a part number on them but they look low compression,what i was thinken is higher compression bigger cam and a 4.25 crank,any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks again kris...

You have the makings of a great combination there. Eagle makes a 4.25 Stroke crankshaft that will go right in that Gen 6 block. You'll have yourself 540 CID. Eagle also makes complete Crankshaft Reciprocating Assemblie that will include a forged crankshaft, H-Beam rods, and either high or low compression pistons. I'd also slide in a mild streetable solid Roller camshaft too (NOT a hydraulic roller!) and you will have one bad-ass motor that will have very little or no equal to whatever pulls alongside you!

You can actually slide a 4.500" crank in there with a little extra work and a few extra $$$...with a 4.500 bore you've got 572".

At that point traction becomes a rather serious issue...
