MMMMMMMMM nitrous will be doing it soon piss off the city wankers in there hondas & commodores mmmmmmmmm cant wait

This picture was acctually alot bigger. But in order to shrink the file size the picture became so small you need a magnifing glass to see it. Does anyone know how to shrink the file size without shrinking the picture?

I am taking it to the track for the first time this friday. I will update "ya all" on what she can do. Tomarrow I am installing my newly recurved distributor. That should help out a bit.

I just finished my suspension. I cant believe how tight the car handles now. I am very pleased.

damn. Im sorry I was just diggin in my files I cant seem to find it. Ill keep looking though. I do know that they are 3.0685" in dia and the piston weights 253.5g I found this info on my balance sheet. During install my buddy and I broke an ring and had to reorder one. The part number was JE XC78 or JE XC7800 I believe. I hope that helps.

General,
I would be very interested in finding out more about these J&E pistons.
Can you tell me who you bought them from and how much?
Are they forged or cast?
Was there an appreciable difference in the motors performance once you fitted them- assuming that you made no other mods at the same time?
Cheers
Dave

I purchased the pistons from the late Malvern Racing. I believe that i payed about $550 for all four pistons, rings and pins. They are full floating and forged. When i fitted them I also fitted everything else at the same time. damn near quadrupled the power (estimating). I have not yet dynoed it. Do a search in yahoo or something for JE forged pistons, get there number and ask them. They should be able to help you more than I could about the specs of the pistons. I have mislocated my spec sheet. Sorry

Would like to meet up. I live north of Seattle. Let me know.

Heck I wouldnt mind. Just need to find the time. Ill be at Bremerton race way tomarrow night (weather permiting). And the next I may be in Elma watching my buddy in his sprint car.

I'll be at Evergreen Speedway Saturday night but they won't let me run my car unless I am willing to put a few dents in it. I help out with the Ambulance Crew.
Looks like your runin' close to the same stuff I have in my 1973. I have the Electronic Ing. but am not using the MSN. Compressions not quit 11:1 only because I had plans for a turbo. I instead went with dual 32/36 down drafts.
279 duration cam from Delta Cam.
It will easily run 9000rpm.
Have to do a road trip south to your area.

Yea thatd be great. I went to Bremerton raceway last night, but it was raining and the track was closed. oh well maybee another day. Im sure mine would run to 9000 as well, ive been to nervous to do that yet. i will though. ive only got it to 8000 while doing a burn out. kinda scared me. lol. we should drag. it would be close.

I would love to see a picture of this car. Where is Grapevine? How far from Seattle?

Im about an hour and a half away from seattle. Im just south of Bremerton

Haha, I saw you about a week ago in Shelton I was going to the court to pay a ticket. I tryed to flag you down but you didnt stop.

LOL, Thats funny. Sorry I didnt notice. As you could emagine I have alot of people waving and honking there horns at me. Its quite a crack up. I even have the dixie horn that was on the general lee as well.

I'm interested in the spec sheet and pricing of the pistons. Looks like you've got a fun car there... you can email me the pics and I'll resize them for you if you want.
