It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Here they are, I can still drive them though, no snow here! Please disregard my messy work bench, I always clean it, but it never stays that way for long.

Kind of tight in a 2 car garage 24x32...been sitting with no engine, trans, seats and carpet out. Fuel tank is also missing, Sumping fuel tank. Rebuilt trans is sitting on work bench, just finished going thru trans this past weekend. AFR came thru on giving me a good deal on replacement heads, they are 205's hope to get on the flow bench this weekend to compare these and the Dart's. Car has not moved since mid December, prior to car was at Team Z for in floor subs and reinforced torque boxes as well as their latest upper and lower control arms. Still kicking around if I want to yank the rear end and clean and paint under the car.

Finally finished building this after working on and off for 15 years

I'd be really interested in seeing those flow numbers, be sure to post that up! What size bore will you be flowing them on?

Just hanging out waiting for some nice weather, it was -21* the other night, a 70 degree day would be welcomed. Chimney sweep set on the wing, ladder along the side and snowblower in front of it, no fast get away.

After reading Ozz's comment I figured I'd double check...yup, still there

Don’t remember exactly either a 4.030 or a 4.060. I will also try flowing the AFR's 205's with a 2.05" valve as I want to see if the 2.08" is shrouded on the 4" cylinder. I think the Darts are only a 2.02 so may do some valve swapping on that to. I know the bowl/valve job will not match the valve size but will give me an idea at higher lifts what the air likes.

Yes I have fooled a few with that picture of the plane. Would love to own a real one someday!
