new 607 CID engine now running

[Ghoste]

Good work! 
Sooo, what kinda mileage are you gettin'? 

[LUMI]

Hopefully a lot of in this summer, my holiday starts in two weeks
i try drive as much i can afford, gas is expensive in Finland 8,65$/gal
and the old Dominator took 2.35 mpg
but next sunday i will go to a Classis Motormöte Show in Sweden which is 150 mile trip so i know how low can i go with this new AED one

$8.65 a gallon?  I will never complain about US prices again...

[Ghoste]

Don't forget to take some pics for us, enjoy the show.

are the RT-68 plates real official plates? there used to be a 70´s Toyota Carina with those plates in my small town in eastern Finland...guess its been wrecked it you could buy the plates

Now it runs
didnt get it running good on 1050 3 circuit Dominator, it was pig rich on part throttle
but got custom build 1150 AED Max Pro Dominator last week and it runs smooth with it

I just want to say that if I ever had my car stolen, I'd be very thankful that there are guys like Cody looking out for me.  Sometimes you just gotta go on instinct and a gut reaction.  Cause who's to say that the car wasn't stolen and reworked to a different level and then sold.  It could possibly happen.  You would think they would repaint it though.....

Nice car none the less and welcome to the show.  I don't even remember seeing it on ebay, how'd we miss that one?

Cody, you da man!!

Me too

Yes they are
RT-440 was taken so this was my second option

7 mpg on todays trip on 50-60mph average speed and engine running 2500-2600rpm
was a bit rich on that speed 12.1 to 12.4 afr
i just changed bigger int. bleeds from 63 to 65 lets see how much it helps
took 2 fulltrottle launces on way home
and got to say it is a hell of a machine, after 3500rpm all hell brakes loose

[Ghoste]

Thats actually not bad considering.

Sorry to see the broken rocker arm...that sucks ! 

When I first saw the pics of your engine a few pages back I knew you would be having issues with those rocker arms at some point. 

I'm assuming you are running a solid roller cam in that stroker correct ? If so....you need a much better rocker arm is you want it to live on the street. What are your spring pressures open/closed ? FYI, those rockers are good for flat tappet pressures in the 400lb range....anything more requires a much stronger piece like ; Harland Sharp/T&D/Jesel
