Dax i live in iowa so i get a ride when its done :)


My personal favorites are 1969 olds 442 with a 6 pack (cost bout 100k)

and a 2006/2007 Bugatti Vernon (costs 1.2mill-1.3mill)

Specs on Vernon
- 1001 hp (yes, SAE net)
- 922 lb-ft of torque
- Sixteen cylinders, sixty-four valves
- Four turbochargers
- 253 mph top speed (GOVERNED!!!)
- 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds
- 0 to 124 mph in 7.3 seconds
- 0 to 186 mph in 16.7 seconds

Its said that on street tires going 253 miles/hr in this car it takes about 15-20 mins till you need new tires :lmao:



Id post pics but i dont know how :lmao:

Don't dis the small block ford engines.... lots of low end torque and good high rev engine for its size, it will never run like a owned ford big block ( gt500 427), but still a good mix for everyday street driving and weekend warrior racing. I had a 67 fastback when I was in my early 20's that had a small block that was spec'd about the same way and had it clocked at a local drag strip at 112 in the 1/8th mile, while I also had a 67 coupe that had a tricked out 351 (big block casting, not small block) that only did 116 on the same track.

Not dissing it just could do so much more. But i guess if your building it mostly for the street then you can still beat all the ricer punks :hic:

The 300SL and the '62 Ferrari 250 GTO are the sexiest cars ever made. I dislike Italian designs but love the 250 GTO for some reason. :hic:

Stick to the mechanical fuel pump, the little bit of HP u lose over electric is fine for the street and less headaches.
750 Holley seems pretty big for that size motor, what size jets you running? New Holley? I havent bought one in awhile but know they had come up with an aftermarket anti blowback valve to help stop frying your power valve if it backfired, ( especially nice when setting your first timing :eew: )

This is the same Carb Shelby used on his GT350, I rebuilt this carb nearly year ago and if i remember correctly, am using 64's on the primary and 70's on the secondary. Jets are pretty cheap, so if I need to retune after car is completed not a big issue... (providing the car even runs when I get it finished)..
man whats gonna happen after Quake Wars is released.. I really won't have time to finish it up....

And yes, running mechanical fuel pump... NOT a big believer in electric pumps...although the big ones sound cool and almost like a turbo .. except I had mine mounted in the trunk area... so the sound was coming from wrong end of car LOL...
