With the intake being a dual plenum, the next cylinder on that side is #4. That guy got a double shot of nitrous and melted a hole in the piston. Oh well. Time for a rebuild. Even after blowing up the engine, I was hooked. Drag racing rocks. I'm in it now. Now I'll never have money for drugs.November 2023. Stripping the motor to have the block bored. Big hole in piston, big scar in cylinder wall.<a href="https://flic.kr/p/2pebGTt" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53314101321_bc9d8930c8_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2pee8Vn" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53314575755_d49960e39b_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>While the engine is out to be built by a guy who used to do it for a living (good to have friends), time to make it even better. Pulled the front and rear glass for polycarbonate. Saved the rear for one of the other projects.<a href="https://flic.kr/p/2piNCF5" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53366377162_cf4b34c38e_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2piUeUC" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53367471248_b3c9c4e319_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Started building a cage with a kit from S&W.<a href="https://flic.kr/p/2pjspkL" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53373746566_c70882cb89_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2pv6sUt" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53494142659_3a596db21a_z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Just a small block.
