’71 Chevelle<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since we bent our old Chev 12-bolt housing in late August 2011 at Pacific Raceways<\/em>, we’ll be upgrading to a Ford 9-inch with our spare Strange <\/em>center section out of the ’57 with new 4.71 large-pinion\u00a0gears, installing new ladder bars, track locator, etc. Bill Scribner is building the custom housing for Chris.<\/p>\n

More on this project including pictures as the work progresses\u00a0at Project 9″ Ford for our Chevelle<\/a><\/p>\n

’57 Chev<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

November 3, 2011<\/span>: We may get the ’57 back out to the strip in 2012 for a few passes. Much depends on my health situation which pretty much put me on the sidelines for the 2011 season. Only time will tell. – Roger<\/p>\n

December 19, 2011<\/span> Before taking the ’57 back out, we want to upgrade our fuel pump to a Magnafuel MP-4601<\/em><\/a>. I’ve never been happy with our last BG-280<\/em> pump which has been at times seeping from the shaft seal and having cavitation problems on shutdown. Who knows what is happening while going down the strip! The external by-pass should help resolve the cavitation issue.<\/p>\n

Jan 7th 2012<\/span>:<\/p>\n

The new fuel system is installed in the ’57 and no leaks!<\/p>\n

Torri’s Pontiac will get new\u00a0front shocks that have worn mount bushings, and Chris and Paul replaced\u00a0the old, badly rusted trunk pan.<\/p>\n
