There was a large Club logo sticker like that at one time. Ross might remember - Pete K had one on the rear deck of his car. It went when he had the car re-sprayed.

One of our members got those made-up - he (I believe) simply had the vinyl company scale them up from images supplied. Don't think the member belongs to the club now. It was our drag race series - points were awarded for attending any drag meet with you car - maybe additional points were issued for winner/loser on 'grudge' races with other members. Pete Knodt might recall more.

A really interesting build-up. Notice that intake ports are more of a rounded-off square section. That engine is certainly very much biased towards the upper end of the rev band. They mention 600 ft/lbs torque at just 3000 rpm.....certainly a robust figure. Interesting that my oval ported 489 makes a similar, (albeit maximum) figure (606 ft/lbs) at a slightly higher 3850 rpm......Forget the stickers, you cannot go faster with them
But this new GM crate 672 CI N/A carb Big block engine with 1,000 HP and 900 ft/lbs of torque will help you get wins !
1000 HP crate engine
also a tranny that can handle to power on same page

Seem to recall $18/$20k......It’s also probably got a price tag to match its horsepower

Wow, I thought at least 15k.

Got that badly wrong - ZZ632/1000 Chevrolet Performance Big Block- NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS ETA Q1 2022 - seriously expensive, but does come with dedicated ECU, crank trigger, coils, injectors and fuel rails. All you need to source is a friggin' big radiator and probably a regular supply of rear axles?

Still needs more stickers - why not do that....... and run a series (in white vinyl) of either horizontal, vertical or slightly angled strips, say 1/2" wide, (and using the existing pinstripe line as a 'frame') cut out stripes over the stickers and perhaps increasing in width as you get closer to the rear of the car where it can become solid?

There needs to be space for race series sponsors stickers, the oval one behind the rear wheel is hilllclimb championship one.
If I don’t like this after the first event I’ll just peel them off.

Haven’t picked it up yet so will get the db meter out tomorrow. Going to have to move the diff cooler but there wasn’t anymore room to play with underneath.

Should be better than with the inserts in the side pipes as this is almost twice the diameter.

Shelsley Walsh Hillclimb in July if I get an entry.
Need to work out why it’s popping out of 3rd on de-acceleration though.
