The solid roller 331 stroker is in the Coupe and finally running.  Thanks to all the M&M members that helped me with needed info.I know now what a Boss 351 Mustang must feel like. Except my '66 only weighs about 2800 lbs.  This is only the 2nd street car that I have ever driven that actually scares me!! The other was a 63 vette with a mech. fuel injected 400 SB.
My whole drive assy was trued and balanced all the way from the front to the back, and the old '66 finally feels totally smooth for the first time. It already outpulls the old 13 sec. 289 at only half throttle. The BFG Drag radials are the only thing keepin it from being totally dangerous! Can't wait to get her broken in and find out what that last half of the gas peddle will do!  ------------------

You should know!!
Hey Todd, If you aren't using Drag radials on your stroker, I don't see how you can give it any gas at all without breaking the rear tires loose.  .

I just like the smell Actually, I've got a stiff-ish secondary spring in the carb for that very reason. The secondaries don't start to come in until around 4k, and by then I've got some bite. The slide-a-links do plant the tires... the nose points skyward It's an 'e' ticket ride Are you going to the track anytime soon?

I just missed the last local race of the season Saturday.  I've been very busy with some other projects and didn't really feel like the Bluestreek was ready yet. The car hasn't seen the other side of 6000 rpms yet or gone more than 70 miles. The engine
has developed a miss sometimes, and I'm trying to track it down in my spare time. I tore down the carb and found nothing wrong, and then did a compression check and all holes were 170 psi. Tomorrow I'll check the ignition system and install my new blue Summit plug wires that I forgot to install. I'll get some pics of the engine and hood too! Dan

I finally found what was causing the little skip in my engine. #2 plug has a crack in the ceramic insulator right next to the hex head. This was the last thing that I checked. Because the plugs were brand new, I never thought I might have a bad one.
Anyway, It seems that I've been exited about how the new engine runs, and it was only firing good on 7 cylinders. Now I'm really exited! ------------------
