Nick, This engine has been sitting here for 6 years . Only thing it needs is a pickup tube to run. Count me in for one!! Let me know how much to send and where. Thanks Mike

Hey Nick, I have an engine here that is stacked away that needs one of those pickup tubes. If you make any more , put me first on the list!! Thanks Mike

Agreed!! It wont make any more or less power , but you can move the power/torque band around to suit your situation. Mike

Good choice having Duttweiler do the cam. I can feel it happening!! BTW I went 6.92 with my home built junk. Im behind this effort!! Mike

I checked one of my Indy square port heads out. The casting number is still 255000168 instead of 153. I would find it very odd that any type of stage 2 casting would be anything outside of a 255000153 to 255000168 part number. But that being said Im very curious to get to the bottom of this for...

Im really shocked that a mushroom lifter will clear the swinging lobes beside it. What woul you say is the maximum diameter of the mushroom head that will clear a standard cam lobe. This is really good info!! Thanks for sharing. Mike

Ok I need to know !! Did you check out the issues above , and can a mushroom lifter be used ??? Mike

I have used a 1/4"bolt with a nut tightened up so the hex matches on the bolt and nut. This allows me to use a 7/16" - 1/4" drive swivel socket with a long extension and drive it with a drill at an angle that I can get to. Been doing this for 20 years+ and its probably still the same bolt...

Chris is going to take over the belt drive business in my place. We have worked together to get this moving and I will be purchasing all my DannyBee parts from him. Anyone needing anything reguarding DannyBee belt drives needs to get with Chris !!! Thanks for your effort on this Chris !! Mike

I saw you at Edgewater a couple months ago at the Friday 8.5 race. I was not feeling any love watching you run the Firebird so I passed on stopping by to say HI !! Welcome back to the dard side!!! Mike

I have a set f Oliver rods that I had reconditioned for one of my engines. They are sized and re-bushed and the true length is 6.470". I wll sell those for $475.00 plus the freight if intrested. Thats the only set I have available in 6.5" ros with wide journal. Most likely I will not see this...

I see you PM'd me on this. Is this narrow or wide journal rod , and for on or off-center block. Mike

OK let me throw down here. FIRST THING you need to do is actually set up a block with a flat tappet cam and lifters installed. Even if its just a stock cam. I have never even owned a buick flat tappet cam so bear with me , but I highly suspect that you will run into issues with anything bigger...

I have a real nice set 2.100 x 5.545" & 1.625 x 5.545" valves. The .020 in head diameter and .005 in length isnt going to hurt anything!! Let me know if I can help. Mike

No updates!! Have most of the parts made for the intake manifold. Hoping that this winter this gets finished finally. Im in machine shop prison! Also have not worked much at all so my funding would also hold things up. Things are looking up in the work dept , so maybe this will actually...
