Here is the car..

Mike is on the board here, he said he may wander by later on and post about it. It is a light tube chassis car. About 2200 lbs.

And I was wrong about the runs.. try more like just shy of 400.. He races just about every weekend. There is your durablity test for the block, at this level anyway..

Mike lives in western MN but he builds Ethonol plants for a living, and therefore travels all over the midwest and western US.. and he takes the car with him, everywhere he goes, and finds a drag strip.

Thanks for asking, I had to call him up to find out the answers to your question, and it was great to talk to him again. I needed the conversation, it helped my mood, as I spent the better part of today at Gil's funeral.

And yes, we did open the heads up for the larger bore, look back at the thread there is a picture of the chamber.
