7.3 Godzilla Fastback

Great day at the track today. First a huge thanks to Tim Albert and my oldest son Cj for all the help, couldn’t have done it without you. Second I was able to successfully get my license runs in and made 7 runs in about 3 hours. One the last run we were able to turn the leave up a little bit but it still needs one more power on the leave and this 3650lb home built car ended up rewarding us with its first 8 second run with a [email protected] still running off gate springs. It was a great end to the year after the race in Norwalk OH where I met some great people and won an award for best overall Godzilla and had a great video done of the car by Evan Smith REVan Media on his YouTube REVn Evan channel. Lebanon Valley Dragway staff was helpful all day and the facility was run flawlessly along with the track worked very well for us.

Back on the 68 now to get it ready for the NMRA Godzilla Invasion at NMRA's Ford Homecoming at the June race in Ohio. Small list of things to do like, swap injectors, build fuel cell, mount parachute, change over to a TH400, Matt Funkhouser race cars rear suspension,driveshaft, wiring, mount seats……

7.3 is back running after being down for upgrades from when I broke the factory piston and windowed the block. New block, Molnar rods, Wiseco pistons, Callie’s cam, BTR intake and bent an 8.50 cage. I had to shorten the intake inlet an inch and a half, machine the throttle body and clamp assembly shorter and then weld back together because of the tight engine bay. Put a good 40 miles on it I. The past couple of days. It felt good to drive it again. Now to finish putting interior back together, cleaning and get some tune revisions.
