No kidding on the dial up warning.

I had several requests to see how I was mounting my liquid intercooler under the dash, so here it is.

I bought the car from an old lady so I look at it like I put it out of it's misery. I still have the wire hub caps in the garage though, since I won't be able to afford some nice 17's for it they might have to go back on it. I kinda like the sound of 1400hp on the stock wire's

Looks nice Dusty. Did you fabricate the headers as well?

I believe it has to be Buick powered to be at the Nats

but not to cruise the streets of bowling green and do burnouts in the hotel parking lots.

Roy, I don't know that it will pass for TSS but I may get by with TSM on the window for a while. It still don't want any of that stock block car of yours though.

I am currently busting my butt to have it at BG for some cruising, besides I hear there are a few people there that can lend a brother a hand on the FAST tuning. It's really just a Buick V8 in hiding. I am fighting the urge to go ahead and paint it and detail under the hood while the motor's out but I know I won't meet my deadline if I do. I just like my stuff to look good as well as run good but I think it will have to be a pretty quick beater this year. Besides I'd hate to make it nice and go out and rub it down the wall working the suspension out.

I have done everything under the hood except the aluminum welding and the TIG on the headers. I built the headers and took them to be TIG'd up. I just bought a big pile of mandrel bends and went to work.

It's a 383 DART block, Brodix T1 heads and Oliver rods. If it goes well this year I'd like to be in Orlando in the fall for the DR class.

Dusty when you get ready to fire that thing off give me a hollar and Ill lend you a hand. Looking good man !!! Is that the IC and Dog House off of Butlers GTO ?

 

[Dusty Bradford]

Russell, Your definately on the call list to help me get the system phased in and get it running.

That's the doghouse and TB off the GTO but the intercooler is in Chad's nova.

How's the dragster?

The digger is scheduled to be fired off this weeked from the freshening up. All the bearing looked great upon teardown. I managed to hit 175 mph in the 1/8th at the end of the season with 24lbs of boost and 23* timing with a AFR of 11.4 going to put some timing in it and raise the boost for this upcoming year . Let me know how I can help. When you get ready to phase everything in give me a hollar and Ill lend a hand on setting it up. Talk to ya later.

Hmmm, I've got a really nice set of heads sitting in my garage that belong on that car......
