Those little pille, viagra.
They’re made out of two major compounds.
They are 50% miracle grow and 50% fix-a-flat.

I take two a day.
I don’t have much use for that sort of thing anymore.
But one keeps me from peeing in my boots in the morning.
And one keeps me from rolling out of bed at nightl.

sure would be fun to be twenty again.

But Eddie, then you would just be young and stupid

I was only joking Rex.
I tried using those things once.
They didn’t help my “situation”.
I went back to the doctor and complained about them not working.
All they done to me was make me consitpated.
So the doctor done a full workup to see what could possibly be wrong with me.
The diagnosis?
You’re supposed to eat them things.
Not shove em up your butt.

As it turns out, just because your rear is closer to the effected area, that’s not where they go.
I thought I’d give it another try,
But the doctor said I was too stupid to repsoduce anyway and wouldn’t give me another prescription.

-- http://wddsrfinewoodworks.blogspot.com/

Oh hell no.
When I was twenty I had three girlfriends in two different towns.
Two jobs to afford them all.
And still was eating whatever cheap junk I could afford after my antics.
No, I’m much wiser now.

Now to go back and know then what I know now, that would be a different story.

Sorry folks, have to call it a day. I overdid it “slightly” today … must learn to be patient … yeah right!
See you all tomorrow, hope Box’s do-hickey does not let him down….Night ALL.

nite rex

-- Jesus Is Alright with me

I have eight kids Eddie.
We’d decided when she was pregnant with number seven that we had too many kids, so she was going to get her tubes tied.
Then when she delievered the baby we found out that for some kind of legal reasons, the paperwork wasn’t signed far enough in advance.
She was supposed to come back in six weeks to have the procedure done.
So we came back in six week, and after checking her out to make sure she was up for the procedure, they suddenly came back into the room and said they couldn’t do it at that time.
I asked why not.
They then informed us that she was pregnant again.
I don’t know how that could have happened.
I immediately asked where those dang papers were at so we could sign them right then.

Well I’m off to watch Law & Order.
I’ll check back in later.

Marty thats great. I was watching swamp people. I just opened my bath room window and stared out.
And yes William I understood every word out of his mouth.
This is for you William.
I need a 411 rear end with a turbo 350 trainie, slap in a a camel humped 289 and d-stroke it ;)

Whatcha building Super?
The 289 setup with 411 will get you out of the hole for quarter miles, if you want a trailer queen.
To cruise at higher speed without over taching the short stroke of those slugs though, I’d go with something a tad milder, like 3:55s. It’ll get you out of the hole reasonable fast to leave most anything at the light and still cruise in the buck twenty range at a round 3k RPMs.

-- http://wddsrfinewoodworks.blogspot.com/

As for the tranny, if you’re set on a trailer queen setup for the quarter mile, I’d go with a powerglide for that 289.
If it’s the cruiser you’re after, the TH350 is a great tranny. However, I have a TH400 tranny sitting under my bench at the shop with a kevlar sprag gear that’ll never break even with the spinouts that the lower first gear will allow you to do.
If you insist on a TH350 though, it’s still a pretty bullet proof tranny behind that engine, but I’d suggest around a 2500 stall torque converter.

-- http://wddsrfinewoodworks.blogspot.com/

Huh? What?

Sorry guys.
Super baited me into that one.

-- http://wddsrfinewoodworks.blogspot.com/

The quarter is fine. Powerglide will work, a bit more on the stall. Some 50’s on the rear and skinny pennies on the front.

Nos would be nice;)

-- Superdav "No matter where you go - there you are." http://chiselandforge.com

The hell with NOS.
I know you better than that.
Let’s keep it old school.
We don’t need no chemical edge.
Mechanical all the way.
Machine against machine.
All the way to the end.

Now if you want a mechanical advantage, there was several things about the 289 that could use some improvements.
Port, polish and gasket match the intake to the heads. Port and polish the head exhaust and run two in shortys into three inch collectors.
This will improve the flow, but if you really want to push the envelope, you’d be amazed what a Roots blower will do to a 289 and it’s sustainable for longer periods of time if you’re willing to go through the trouble of building the top end right, titanium pushrods, roller rockers, and splayed stud locks.
Also, with the destroking leaves a little more room on the bottom end. Go with a Moroso seven quart pan with a plate to scavenge the oil off the crank. It may not seem like much, but that extra little weight you’ll be taking off of it can make all the difference.
Now, speaking of weight, there’s more you can do there too. Get a stainless steele crank so that when you mill the connecting rod bearing lands for the destroking, you can also go with up to about .060 over bearings to remove even more weight from the crank. Every little bit helps. I can promise you I’ve seen races where even five more horses made all the difference.
I recommend a split duration cam. You want high lift of course, but for the 289, a tad more on the exhaust side keeps the spent exhaust gases out so you can keep fresh gas in the combustion chambers.

If this wasn’t already probably making other guys on this thread hate my guts and wishing I would shut the hell up, we could go into further improvement on the powerglide and rearend.
Also, the car setup make a lot of difference. As long as you’re hauling it to and from the track on a trailer, there’s all kinds of weight that has to go depending on what car you plan on putting all this in. Of coure all this depend on what class you plan on running in. I like the outlaw class simply because the rules are a tad more lenient.

Good MOOOOOORNING Lumberjocks.

Especially you Stumpy.
I’m not sure what that comment was about though.
You are either:
A: Bumping to the bottom of the thread.
B: Didn’t read the comments enough to know we’re never nice without supervision.
C: The best use of sarcasm I’ll probably see or hear all day.
D: All of the above.

Which ever it is though,
YOU’RE WELCOME!

Bush and Osama decided to settle the war once and for all. They sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dog fight. They would have 5 years to breed the best fighting dog in the world and whichever side’s dog won would be entitled to dominate the world. Osama found the biggest, meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world and bred them with the meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from the litter, and removed his siblings, which gave him all the milk.

After 5 years, they came up with the biggest, meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were 5 “thick and nobody could get near it.

When the day came for the dog fight, Bush showed up with a very strange looking animal. It was a 9 foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for Bush because there was no way that this dog could possibly last even 10 seconds with the Afghanistani dog.

When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of its cage and slowly waddled over toward Osama’s dog.

Osama’s dog snarled and leaped out of its cage and charged the America Dachshund at full speed. But when it got close enough to bite, the Dachshund opened his mouth and consumed Osama’s dog in one bite. There was nothing left of his dog at all.

Osama came up to Bush, shaking his head in disbelief, “We don’t understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for 5 years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler female dogs in the world, and the biggest and meanest Siberian wolves.”

“That’s nothing,” said Bush. “We had Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeons working for 5 years to make that alligator look like a wiener dog.”

A man and his wife were sitting in the living room and he said to her, “Just so you know, I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.”

His wife got up, unplugged the TV and threw out all of his beer.
