Just to clarify, I don't know what a Demon Holley 750 is, but I did recommend a Mighty Demon 750 blower carb. This carb allows you to boost-reference the power valve.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

That's good to know.  Between my day gig, other MG stuff, and trying to light a fire on this project my brain is a little scrambled, especially cuz I'm not so familiar with some of the parts.

Hey, it's all good. I'm just kind of a smart-ass. It's all in fun, though.

Now being a smart ass is something I understand very well.  What's really going to be fun is having our little 10 second car.

Sounds good. Then I can let Troy know all he needs to know to assemble the heads.

Blower Carb
Is this the kind of little Gucci bastard you're talking about?
There also seems to be Mighty Demon and Mighty Demon Barry Grant Blower Carbs (as above). Are there good sources to maybe get these refurbished or some a bit less?

Hahaha. Yeah, they are kinda pricey bastards.

I'm sure they're quite well made and worth the price really. It's just a matter of exploring options and budget control. I need to look at all other likely expenses. One thing is for sure, once this thing is put together, I want it to work repeatedly and reliably. I don't want to dick around with a carburetor after every run because I saved a couple hundred bucks. RX-Snake will be a hot lapping brawler.

So, did you guys pull a head and see what kind of pistons you're dealing with? See what you could scavenge to use on the new heads?

No, I forgot about it until I just read this. I did start to pull the water pump and timing cover so we could check to see if there was a P/N on the cam but Ben doesn't have a harmonic balancer puller so we couldn't do it. If Ben can pull a head and take a picture I can tell you wha they are. |
