With everything now blueprinted and
balanced, Amos has begun putting the motor together. After lots of
research and discussions the parts and tune up are coming into focus.
Are we going to tell you what the secret ingredients are? I don't think
so. If you think the truth can be found by reading old magazine articles
about the Surfers, you'd be mistaken, that's not how it really was. Did
you really think back then they would tell their competition what they
were doing? The "true" secret is 40 years old and is being improved on
with today's bulletproof internal parts. The rest is all SURFERS magic.
We got really lucky with this one. We were
looking for a correct early Cragar 392 blower manifold for some time but
hadn't we found one. That was until just a week ago when we found one on
ebay. It was totally worth the $330 that we paid. It was in really good
shape. Compare the black and white photo of what the Surfers had back
then, to what we found recently. We just need to drill the ports and
plumb the injectors. Check out the
blow off valves at the bottom of the manifold.
