| We have created a MONSTER  Engine is powerfull. Tuning of those 48 dual dellortos is quite time taking and all the setups are not even close to exellent, put it really pushes you to the seat. Too bad that our two step automatic slips very badly when it shifts to second gear. That thing occurred at last years drivings when the tranny was hot and now with extra power it can hardly take that second. We didn't even bother to adjust the bands because we thought that it would do the task at gravel. It didn't. Now we need to fix that transmission before we go to Drag Race that machine. But, our feelings after the Race was that this engine might be a little unsafe at that frame when doing some flat out driving. And we have even discussed about building a nostalgia dragster for that turbo set up. Does anybody have a leftover frame for us 
Get in, sit down, shut up and hold on!

| | I also have several hundred pictures from the Freak Race, Seppo is correct, the Hollowhead machine is pretty spooky, WAY too much power for that loose dirt. I'll try to get some stuff up tonight, ended up going back to my hotel room last night and working till midnight Finnish time. Jyrki and i amy go out running around this evening. Be back in Texas Saturday!

| | Was the problem in chassis flex, suspension or what? Sounds like you may have created a real Monster! You can always box the frame, stiffen it all add a nice roll cage and go straight ahead racing! There is a place in Mass. that has rebuild kits for the Ford O Matic if you want to stay with that. http://members.aol.com/autotran/fmkits1.html I'm doing the AOD conversion in mine. Chuck

| Main problem was a slow steering and too much power on gravel. If you push hard it was right away going sideways and two hands were not enough...
