Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7

Since we're talking trash on several other posts, I thought we should devote all of it to one thread https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I watched D&C the other night again, and felt the need to remind Frankie to bring his wood screws along https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Put me through a tear down then, no cheater heads here - I don't have the money for that stuff. We both have manifolds and smog, along with E70x14 tires, so that will equalize the other engine and exhaust differences somewhat.

Just for the record, and so that we both have excuses afterwards, there are some big differences between the two cars https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

For eg; Both of our engines are bored 30 over, but I put in TRW 11.0:1's (per their spec, I know, I know - they are actually less, but...) Frank's got 10:1 hypereutectic flat tops. We have the same heads, intake, carb, and manifolds. Not sure if our CR's are significant in real world track times since Frank's car has run a best of 13.6!

Another difference is in the exhaust, Frank has mandrel bent 2.5" pipes with turbo mufflers. I have 2.25" krinkle bent pipes with 2 resonators and a single crossflow. I also have 2" tailpipes.

The final difference is in rear gears, I have my original 4.10:1's, Frank's got 3.73:1's.

So, adding everything up, we should still be a good match, but still have plenty of wiggle room should we get trailered.

So, Frank! hook up your nitrous - you're gonna need it https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Marlin:
Remember the 6 weeks that we were bugging Frank about sending pics of his car for feature car shots? Remember when his feeble excuses were: [1] it's too dirty right now. [2] it's raining, and can't take it outside for pics. [3] The battery is dead. [4] My camera was stolen. [5] Pics are in the mail. [6] FedEx lost the envelope with the pics.

Did you ever wonder if he had the engine out of the car during that 6 week period, and over at his buddies machine shop??? You don't for one minute think he's gonna play fair, do ya???

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7

Bring it on!

Frank was trying to put those 3.73's behind that timing cover, complained they just don't fit!! No rebuild from him, he was constantly calling a tow truck 'cause he ran it out of gas with those 4.56's. The only excuse I want to hear from Frankie (Wooderson or Clint, take his pick) is that he's slow https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Moby Duck up on the lake can't figure out what to do with his cane after he falls into the drivers seat, then says 'rats, I left the keys in the house' https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
