Engine Masters. Daily report.

Just arrived. Long drive.

As of Sunday evening @ 1700, there were about 20 engines on the premisses. Two on the dyno’s, three or four on carts waiting for their turn, and about a dozen on the floor and/or in boxes.

Lots of VERY interesting iron! One thing is readily apparent: carburetors are in. Very few (two that I know of) are fuel injected. Lots of tunnel rams.

This should be an interesting deal.

Engines seen (by me) thus far: SOHC 427 Ford (literally still warm from the dyno), two Boss 429's, three 426 hemi’s, early hemi, big block MoPar, Ford Mod engine (286 cid), several Ford 460's, a SBC LS, and a Pontiac.

Keep the reports coming, Danny. I'm anxious to hear how all of the engines perform, not just the finalists.

It is really cool to have already met guys like Dan Miller, Jon Kaase and Shannon and Daryl from Revolutionary, not to mention Steve Dulcich (editor of EngineMasters Mag). Just to name a few. I wish we actually had something to play with these guys . Oh well we got some compliments on our way cool Darth Vader throttle bracket. Tomorrow @ 4:00p.m. or 16:00 hrs we will know just how much whiskey we need to pick up for the rest of the week. J.Robinson

We made it in around 9:30 tonight and talked with the Ponchos and the Canucks. Looks like we'll have a pretty interesting week.

The LS belongs to Stine. At least, I think it's an LS. Late model SBC, symmetrical ports, very nice ribbed cast pan. Beautiful engine, with a front mount distributor, apparently owner installed. VERY IMPRESSIVE single 4 bbl intake manifold.

Please remember that I'm not very familiar with most of these engine types, and my updates are very subject to correction.

I'm a little worried about misstating facts, getting numbers wrong, saying something stupid, etc. I'll do my best, and hopefully won't piss anyone off.

Feel free to e-mail. danmiller@clearwire.net

Or, I don't mind a bit if someone wants to chastise or correct me on this forum.

The makings of another interesting thread. Thank you Danny for starting it.

The word is the dyno is TIGHTER this year. Scores are tough to judge. So far people are making less power than they were at home. If that is true we are going to suck. Not good.
