I must be doing somthing wrong, all I can find is the Saturday heat races. Also thanks for posting them.

Anyone have pics from yesterday's quals. or heat  races? Please post if you do. Thanks

We vent both valve covers on our 49 and have had no problems. Geoege, i've never tried the total seal rings but understand they do a good job. Where to you get them? Thanks

Good looking set up and great idea for the intakes!

I have used them with no problems.

Me too Lester. I did get it to work but it took some work. I just got a 49 block and cured the problem. Also got after market pistons and all is cool.

Buy a 49 block and it works great. Worst thing that can happen is a 100K fine and 6 weeks off.

Turning black is a sign of running rich. High side jets too big.

I guess I need to recall the 15 carbs I have ruined that are running in NC and SC

I am running a Nikki carb on my 49 but not sure what it's off of. (40 or 44) I have never actually seen
a 49 cube carb. I just open up the whole carb to the size of the shutters. I know this dosn't answer your
question, it's just what I do.

If you have to buy new pistons, Aires (not sure thats spelled right) makes a great flat top piston for the 49 cu. Took about 010 out of the bore for a good fit.

Mike, the intake works fine.

Hey guys, I could not attend but just talked to Joe Parsons and he is at the shoot out! So far the NC and SC guys are having a good day! Rex made the stetement that this was one of the best races he has attended. I hope so cause it was a 14 hour drive.

Valves larger on the 49!

49 cube is different, bigger valves and chamber is different.
