BS has a bug

[BBR]

Yeah they sell them. They are $50 but I have a set I used with the QA1 back when I first swapped the big block in the 83GT. I will tweak them to work...

Picked up the K after the Ford V. Buick shoot out. I am going to use the K with the stock springs, control arms and power rack.

For comparison, when it ran 12.28 on nitrous (at this track 2 years ago) it ran 88 mph in the 8th and Judd was running 90+ with the boost ramping in 3...

Judd, my buddy Jonathan and I left Amarillo at 6am and arrived at Thunder Valley around 10:30. We met up with another Amarillo guy, unloaded the car and...

Chad is aware of the problem and said they are working on it.

As with any project, you occasionally run into unexpected issues. We were all ready to bolt the heads on when we realized the lifters needed to go in...

I am getting a web redirect on my Samsung phone if I double tap the screen when on BS. It only happens on BS (not other pages or forums) and does it...

Well that was not the fix..... I even swapped on a new Motorcraft coil we had in the shop to rule out the possibility that the coil was going kaput....

This thing is driving me batty. Drove it around and made a couple of WOT pulls. One time it cut out and one time it did not. Then I look at my fuel...

Judd lapped valves and assembled the heads today!

I plugged all our engine data into Desktop dyno just for fun and was surprised at what...

Gaskets arrived yesterday, valve springs today, retainers tomorrow and head bolts should be here Thursday. Things are rapidly progressing!

I am on the right track. Drove it around a little today and it behaved similarly so I was a bit confused. But after looking at the logs, I was totally...

Finally closed up the holes in the rear windows.

I trimmed the grills, and installed them along with the front bumper.

I took it out and made some WOT pulls and datalogged them with the Megasquirt.

It would blast through 1st, bang 2nd pull hard for a bit then...

We soaked the heads in Purple Power for about a week. Judd took them out today and pressure washed them. They look fantastic. Springs, seals and retainers...

[BBR]

Finished it up today. These are all plates from cars I've owned but a couple stand out. AP-6101 is from my first truck, a 73 F100. ZU-7529 is from...

Judd cleaned up the valves yesterday. We will lap them in on the heads and that should clean up the seats.

I "finished" the minitub today using a bunch of old license plates. Thought they kind of fit the vibe of the truck.
