Just bought a dirt track car my bro was wanting really bad for some parts he needed and made a deal with him that if i bought it he could have my short block and carb and i get the short block and carb from the race car and he get all the other stuff he wanted from it and he has the body of it sold and it will almost give me all my money back so i want have too much in it. To be honest im not sure on this but i think it is a knife edged forged Eagle crank, Scat rods forged, and forged flat tops i just wanted it because i knew it ran good, but will know for sure 2nite what all it has, hopefully the cam in it will work better than the one i have too.

circle track engines are built to "tight" spec wise, very close tolerences, take the pan off and pull some main/rod caps, maybe even throw in a new oil pump to be safe, 10 laps is 10 laps, but them engines scream all them 10 laps, thats like a rough 500 miles or more on a street engine. sounds like it can buzz good 7-7500 rpm's...
I installed a new jr motorsport solid lift cam in mine this winter. I went from a 112 to a 106 lsa, I strictly run 1/8 mile and we only have 40 mph zones here in town. I know mine will pick up on the bottom end, that and going from a 3500 to a 4400 stall with a tunnel ram...:yikes:

Yeah, i gotta change the pan anyway, when its off gonna give it a real good checking over, my dad ran the motor thats in my truck now in a dirt track car for 2 years straight without rebuild and my bro freshened it up and ran it in his car for like a week then it sit for a few years til i bought it, been a good motor but its time to be replaced. Check out vids of new motor running in my project thread
