[frank-j-majauskasParticipant]

Alright ❗ Alright ❗ Alright ❗ This is getting exciting now ❗ 😮 Lee is finishing
up on his latest art work. He’s waiting for a few more parts and then a few more
adjustments and then that 409 will move to the Dyno room for it’s break-in and to
get all the results of the build ❗ 😛 The finish line is close ❗ 😆

OK…We are really close to “fire-up” now. 409 is all set for the Dyno. Just waiting for a fellow to come in from out of state to hear his engine fire up which is currently sitting on the Dyno. So it looks like Monday might be the day,V-Man,
when the “Fat Lady” sings. 😮 😛 😛

Well the Dyno seems to be backed-up with engines ready for their first time
“fire-up”, so the the 409 is in line and should have it’s turn on the Dyno towards
the end of the week ❗ Hey V-Man, the Fat Lady is clearing her throat ❗ 😆
Won’t be long before she’s bellowing out those high notes ❗ 😆 😮

OK V-Man…Today the “Fat Lady” made beautiful music ❗ She hit all those
great high notes, like 6,000 RPM’s ❗ Although the 409 was lacking headers
(because one side header would not fix on the Dyno) it sounded Great with
348 cast iron stock exhaust manifolds. The numbers were a little lower than they would have been with tuned headers, but did post about 400 HP with
408 ft. lbs. torque. IT WAS AWESOME ❗ 😮 In attendance was John Shimer,
Carl (Bootie) Booth, Joe Scaccia, myself and of course the master engine builder
and Dyno man, Lee Valentine. 😆 “What a GREAT day” ❗ ❗ 😛

Guys, it just doesn’t get any better than that!! John, congratulations to you!! Nice numbers for a no header engine, or one header, however it ran. ………………….Mikey

[john-sachs-srParticipant]

SWEET ………………. 🙂

[frank-j-majauskasParticipant]

Alright ..Thanks everyone for your kind words and support ❗ John appreciates
it very much ❗ 😛 OK, these tuned headers will make the “Fat Lady” breed better
and make it easier for her to hit those high notes ❗ 😮 😆 John’s baby is getting
ready to leave Big Al’s shortly…Another ODF project marching on ❗ 😛
