f129, welcome to the board. That's a sweet ride with some bad-azz power. Where do you run it? Are you planning to add a cabin below? I'd like to see a pic of the dash.

Again, welcome.
Brian

Sweet little ride! Welcome. I've got an early non-step 29 w/twins. I was running high 80's w/twin 500's. We're re-powering this year w/650's and switching to Konrads. I'm looking for high 90's or better. We'll see!

Steve was doing some site upgrades yesterday and f'd up and deleted all posts made between 9am and 3pm.

I have a 1997 29 and run 90, but it took a 509 Blower Motor to do it. To do that and be Normally Aspirated is pretty cool.

f129F, No, I'm running Iron blocks and heads. We're stroking the motors and running Merlin rectangular port heads. I'm adamant about staying normally aspirated. I'm trying to stuff as much displacement as I can in this thing. It's got to run on pump gas and be reliable.
