Foxy Green Foxbody Build

Congrats!
 
5 more miles on it today. Got it up to temp and did a few 2nd gear 3/4 pulls to 4500 or so. It's a tire burner. That'll need some serious adjusting, it's worse than the old dodge vipers aka sit and spin.

Left rear is missing some sidewall. But not sure if that's because I had to ride up in the grass because of the fuck heads blocking the driveway or if it was during the drive.

Overall, I'm smiling. About to cut open the oil filter and check evidence of a stripper.

If I find remnants of Destinie in there I'll have a car for sale.

Drive it!! Drive it more. Check a new filter in a hundred miles.

I’m sure that’s just residual junk. Plus break in material.

I told that fucktard the same thing. Jesus Christ it's like he's a white woman with a nose ring! 🤦🤣
 
When I set that bullet from Dave in my SS, I backed that fucker out of the garage. Warmed to about 130-150. Backed into the street and ripped the fucking shit out of it!!!! Took the turn up the road sideways.

Fuel pump wouldn’t keep up and it stalled. Waited, re light it and went up the street. Ripped on it a little less. But still hard!!

If it’s gonna blow, do it now.

Put in a new magnafuel prostar 500, no more fuel issues. The skinny has two positions. Down or up. Mostly down!!
 
Dave told me I “should” keep it under 7500. It’s been over that a few times by accident. That fucker just loves the RPM!!
 
I’ll say this. First day that needle went past 8k.

Something about a high HP small block singing full song. It’s just intoxicating.

He told me to stop when I said my base timing is locked out at 36 degrees. Advised I don’t go past that.

That VP C-12 says otherwise though! Hahahahaha.

It doesn’t matter what gear or RPM I’m at. This thing just boils the hides.

Engine was built by a well recognized local and I have full faith in it.

It's much different with no balancer and no flywheeel, but my sprint car engine builder when asked said: keep your lows above 6800 and your high around 8600. You can go higher if you want but you don't need to.

Some guys ran them 9500 all night long. My wallet wasn't that thick. :)

Ok look, a white girl with a nose ring is my weakness.

But also I'm an indecisive prick and need at least 10 opinions on a subject. I called you first, knowing you'd likely tell me to run that piece of shit.

Then I called banger thinking it would be 2 for 2 I wouldn't need any more opinions.

He said don't run it anymore, that's when my brain scrambled because that fuckin guy is the 2nd most "send it" mofo I've ever met

Ask him where his 540 is? 😱
 
Change the oil and filter and run it again. You can also pull the valve covers and check lash to see if it is eating a cam or lifters.
 
I don't think any of these plugs look good, but I don't know shit
