Jerry, where is that 261 going after you get it together?
After some dyno testing, it's probably going to be looking for a home. Having a Rube Goldberg engine like that sitting around will be a good incentive for me to drag the old Go-Power dyno out of storage and get it working again. The last time I used it was on a 700+ HP MOPAR "Super Stock" pull truck engine.
A lot of the same bits and pieces used on a 261 modification can be applied to a GMC 270- - - -and there's a big bolt waiting down in Guntersville for a trip to my place that would be an excellent test bed for some of my mad scientist experiments! I've even got a 3 speed Brownie transmission that can be adapted to that rig so I can have two shifters to play with, plus the 2 speed rear end it has already!
