He says it has mufflers but I doubt it

here is a kid almost falling out of his ride to see what was behind him making noise

I think its this one

Notice the custom valve covers - I DONT think this one was off the shelf
http://www.svtgalleries.net/gallery/data/6129/medium/joe-joes-632DSC_1026-3.jpg
Its over 1000 HP - Once his '55 is done he is sending this one back to have the rear half redone - bigger tubs and better suspension for bigger tires
Also changing the roll cage to NHRA legal version - He expects it will go 8's in 1/4 IF he can get it to hook

There are a few more pics in the gallery

Its kinda fun riding around with the chute hanging off the back.

Not sure if the headers go thru the inner fender or not

[Mark #2]

Okay so flame suit on, what kind of MPG does it get?
Just curious, with that much HP in a light car it could have a 2.xx rear in it and get good MPG too.

[FRDRCING]

[Mark #2]

That thing is sweet, can't believe how close the brake lines are to the headers though.

I wouldnt ask - it idles at about 1300 in neutral - it sounds like its sucking down barrels at a time

I did get to experience a transbrake launch in the middle of the street though... :evil:evil

Joe keeps complaining that it doesn't have enough tire... - No kidding ... lol :rll:

It does ride pretty good - the front end bobs a little but im sure the springs are straining under the weight of the block

[02HemiWho?]

:bows WOW!!!:bows

I spoke to the builder and he said

By the way the engine is a 632 and doesnt have big chief heads it has CFE Bmf heads.

His name is George - Hopefully he will be able to register here

[hotrodsbygeorge]

By the way he spent 32k on the engine..started as a simple 632 then he added everthing fancy that they offer as upgrades. like brodix aluminum block, jesel shaft rockers jesel belt drive etc. etc. I built the hood, motor plate, air cleaner, headers, exhaust, mufflers, radiator, shroud, core support, notched and filled firewall, chute mount, accessory mounts etc. etc.

[kirkmears]

curious...what compression ratio was he running? i was going to say that it didn't smell like the advertised 10.75, but then it can be hard to tell with a 600+ cube motor.

[hotrodsbygeorge]

If I remember correctly its 11.5 compression.

[hotrodsbygeorge]

In case anyone is curious this is what joes exhaust that I made looks like underneath. ( if i can figure out how to put a picture on here )

[Silver_2000]

Im going to Kellers to meet Joe this afternoon

If anyone else wants to go call me or post up
