I sent ya a pm. My buddy has my old 347 complete for sale that NXCoupe built. Complete all forged all accessories intake to pan for 3500. Made 341/381 to the wheels and went a 12.06@112 in a full weight 92 GT.

That "pile of sh-t" is what pays the bills, LOL. Hey, I actually got 3rd the other day, haha. I finally put in a new fuel filter and it runs way better now! Sometimes the simplest things...

Lets put that 360 sprinter engine in my car, I can break it in fer' ya'. You keeping the Capri? I did a bunch of work on that car, I still like it!

If I get a good running 347 I may lose my licence untill I break my T-5, or both!

I need to stop by the new shop, looks great. I rented that place when it was a poo poo hole back when I was in the trucking business. You have got a super location and lots of room.

Thanks for the engine tips, keep them coming! NXcoupe, I'm allways late on a good deal! Looks like your old blower engine may be available.

Capri is staying for now. I have always wanted one and really dont want to sell it. Thats why Im not pushing the sale to hard.

The 360 is on the move. should be ready for a trip to the engine dyno in a couple months.


The new shop is no doubt perfect. Im glad im finally not working outside.....or next to a pile of stinking mulch....lol

You a funny man... The Capri is differant and thats why I always liked it even though Mike had his issues.

Those NASCAR engines are kinda differant. I never found anyone I could trust my ARCA Yates engines with around here so we always had one coming or going to NC. Now Joe Rhyne (Rhyne racing engines) has done quite a few, he's over in Indiana. He does all of Frank Kimmels stuff (like 9 time ARCA champion). Theres alot to those engines so it might be worth having someone who knows them to put it together, just my 2 cents.

I think the sprint car injectors look so cool. I may have some contacts that can make it streetable. I've seen it done. Those most likely for sure are set up for alky. I'll see what I can find. Theres not much throttle control on sprint car stuff, it's like all on or off. I drove one on dirt ONCE, made the A main but wasn't my thing.

Draggin,

I DEFINATLY haven't forgot about your former engine. I'm just collecting info on what is the best combination for my application. I have had a couple of serious responces and yours was one of the top ones for sure. And of course price is always a consideration.




Thanks, Dave
