60ftman Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 We've run it in Street Eliminator and Pro-ET. Blew the gonads out of the 'new' 8.5 litre lump early last year (07) so took it as God's way of telling us the engine was too small! The New-new (being built at the moment) 9.2 has rakes of the right parts - Ford SVO block, custom made forged pistons, custom cam, the most beautiful ally heads with the Huuuugest valves you've ever seen. Hopefully it will run low 9's in street trim. If it does that we'll run it in super-gas against the slick-tyred race cars! Should be a laugh though......Just as much fun as driving it to Sainsbury's to get a loaf of bread!

Putting a Chevy in a Ford is like cross-dressing.
