Re: Pinks All Out & Akron Don

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

The engine is a 30 over 440. It has an AED (Holley) 850 cfm mechanical 
secondaries, Torker 2 intake and Doug's 1 3/4" headers.  Cam is a Comp 545 lift 
with 285/297 duration (grind 21-228 3 bolt).  Head are 452 castings with 
oversized valves and a stage one porting by Koeffles that really woke up the 
motor. Compression is a true 9.5 so it runs on 93 octane. 4.10 dana on 3800# SS 
Springs and a snubber. 

I chassis dynoed it a couple of weeks ago and hit 360 HP at 5500 and 463 torque 
at 3600 rpm.  HP is over 300 from 3500 to over 6400 rpm. Weight is 3680 plus a 
195# driver.  I think a tank is lighter than this thing.

If you weren't able to load the YouTube video, search on YouTube for "Don 
Gallimore" and you will find two different videos.  One dated 2011 and another 
2010 - they are the same run from two different cameras.  The 2010 version shows 
Rich Christensen's antics on the starting line. He really moves around.
