I'm in Al. How much for a ticket? That engine would go great in my Dad's 69 RR that's been in his barn for the last 10 years.

Hey Alan, Why don't you just finish it off and put it in your car with the tunnel ram on it so you can take Peddy for some skids first :burnout: i bet she will love it... Do what you want after you have had some fun in it buddy :2thumbs:

I need to sell about 30 tickets at 100 bucks , so I dont think it would fly.  Hemikens remark still rings in my head.  And that M1 tunnel ram sounds good :2thumbs:

The block is a 72  230 casting
676/682 lift roller cam around a 4.55 lobe lift I had cam motion make for me. It's the smallest roller I have
milodon gear drive
440 source crank, rods, and pistons
race rings and bearings
Milodon main studs

Could make some decent power with a good set of heads and intake. Figure compression around 13-1 with the right head cc's

100 dollars a ticket isnt too bad concidering the chances and if you say limit the number of tickets sold to 35 or 40 then you will keep the winning percentages high enough for people to stay interested.... or buy more than one?  Either way Im in.  Just let me know if its a go.

That's a good idea Jason.  Not sure in the direction as of now. I am hoping to start assembling it tomorrow tho.

I'll buy a hundred dollar ticket but I agree, keep it on the down low. I'd keep it away from youtube.
