Bombshell Betty getting ready to dyno new engine. 324 Cid 14:1 straight eight.Speed week 2024

getting it ready to dyno. had a few issues to address. vacuum pump let out the magic smoke and stopped working. the water pump was sucking air due to its location in the chassis. problem will be resolved by moving it to the rear lower outlet of the tank. easy enough to resolve. even though speed week is a couple months away it will go quickly. so far even with the issues it's gone fairly smoothly considering.

Would have been nice to have a list of some of the components in the bottom and the other components and so on

[@pauljanssen7594]

Maybe have a video of the engine assembly. What are the best engines I built a while back was the 302 Jimmy GMC and the 308 international was a pretty insane beast.

What a weirdly unique sound, it almost sounds like an inline 6 or an inline 4-cylinder "at the same time" with the idle of a healthy V8.
