    Not a 235, it's a GMC 302. Most awesome engine for sure!

    Dumd and deafh but exciting !

    Tuning the 302 engine is great , but guys look very close at the scenery. Would you do the same in an unprotected envirement. Its a fore- play with the devil, one guy is holding a can of fuel while the other trotles. Both use finger talk cause there deafh allready or cant communicate in that noice !

    Blueflame x fuel = kabommm..... very sweet indead :eek:

    Not only 302, but 302 with a 12 port Wayne head.

    How can you tell if you have a 302?

    I get to use the same answer to two different questions in the same 5 minutes.:D

    The easy way is to look at the block casting number and compare it to the information on Rob English's web site here:

    Read the text presentation on YouTube !

    A little test and tune... Hilborn Injected GMC 302 with Wayne F Horning 12 Port Head. This car was the Worlds Fastest 6 cylinder racer in the early 1960's.

    Actually Martinus , he's holding (and mindlessly twisting) the Magneto , not a fuel can .

    Running any engine with open ports like that tends to ruin the exhaust valves very quickly as they get hot then the cool air hits them and chrystalizes them where the head meets the stem :eek: .

    Once you've seen and engine swallow a valve at speed , you never want to see it again :(
