Did you fabricate the intake? It appears to be an IR? Whoops,...I should have looked closer.

Right angle mag?

HAW HAW HAW HAW!! Me too. Usually when the subject of drag racing comes up in casual conversation I sometimes mention, "Oh so you're a drag racer? Me too. I just have an old 'Ferd' with one o' them straight six truck motors in 'er."
Then I wait for them to ask how fast it has run.
Did you ever get the head gasket issue sorted out?
eeyore wrote:Wow Greg!, I've had never seen one of your motors up close, very nice. I for some reason had thought you were using 3 four barrels with individual runners, obviously I was wrong. You are the master of the hammer form. Did you use a hammer form for the valve cover as well? What type of welder are you using for your creations? TIG I would guess, MIG can weld aluminum, but I wonder if that nice a job could be achieved.
I would love to know the particulars of your engines. Have you ever considered writing a book on the big six? Something like the Schjeldahl brothers did for the small six. It seems as if you could take it much deeper than they have.
