Try 8 years and 150K miles... The last time I adjusted the valves was February of 2003.. It has 1700 road course miles on it, over 6,000 RPM...

23K on an oil change, thats better than the liffe xpectency of 3 performance T1 engines..

and it still doesn't leak a drop of oil :-)

Let me drive it and you won't be saying that !

Sure about that?? I have rattled the rod bearings through 3 turns at Roebling road and its still together!

Thats not drag racing, its 40 minutes of solid punishment, about 250 miles in a single weekend all at damn near red line:-)

I think you should let Charles have it for a weekend. If he can't break it, he might become a convert.

Not a type 1 so he wont drive it. But I could drive it and tell him all about it !!!!!!

If I can't break it, it can't be broken.

It's not like you have to go 70 to get on a trailer.....no problem.

Told ya so... Your welcome... Glad you like my tune up...

squirrely above 70?? Must be that damn narrowed beam and the roller blades you have up front for tires!!

beth car starts to smooth out at 80 and at 90 she is just plain planted on the road :-) Must be the factory rack and pinion and post "Farmall era" front suspension...
:-)

Only narrowed 2" but I don't have a stabilizer bar under there yet.

three words

A Line Ment!!!!!!!!!!!

Front and rear by a professional. And good shocks. Then a set of taters help too .

5 inch, tractors tires and cruizes the interstate @ 100 MPH just fine....

WOW!! 25 miles! That must be a new single day record for mileage on a freshly built BK car!!

25 miles... I go further than that on a gallon of gas running 85 MPH :-)

Jake , he will be written up for it..and if it happens again this year..it won't be pretty !

He had to take two zannexes after that. He was worried someone saw him driving it.

It's raining today....
