For a better window into the transfer passage.
I hope the plans to run some of these motors at one or more midwest races pans out. I am especially curious to see and hear a stock 75-H run. It probably has no unique sounds like the alky jobs do but I've never heard one run that I know of. I've seen plenty of deflector and loop 6s run but never a stock one.
Good idea! We should request that stock sixes leave the pits before the stackers start up. Plans are to commission a professional videographer to record the event. The Constantine AOMCI meet and IOA Hillsdale are likely next year.

Loctite "Fixmaster" aluminum filled epoxy is used to bed and seal duct castings to the crankcase. Working time is 60 minutes, so there's no need to rush. After glass beading the matching parts and cleaning surfaces with denatured alcohol, bonding and cleanup for the 666 was a little over two hours. Most of the effort is spent with a rag and laquer thinner modeling the thickening paste after bolt up. As Dick Austin points out, modeling bondo or epoxy is best be done before the resin is cured. If you wait too long, better plan on lots of machine work!

Hi Tim,
Progress is great. Can't weight till nex year at Hillsdale. Should be a fun event if all the folks bring a six.
