Porting A 390XP Top End For A Worksaw

[Larry Joe]

Okay, if this gets weird forgive me. Since I've been getting Chemo treatments I have had some weird dreams. I used to have a 70 Buick GS stage 1 with a few mods, I would go to Beach Bend raceway in Bowling green Ky a couple of times a year to run her. I had a dream a while back that I was at the track going over my car. I had to take a leak and when going to the Portajohn I see a red Vega station wagon with a giant Matermind Worksaws logo covering the side, I met you and you showed me the car, it was tubbed out with a 9" ford rear and you were running a 383 stroker with a powerglide, said she ran low 10's. Then I woke up........ pretty strange.

I ran a 75 Chevy Luv with a 9" Ford rear end and a 383 stroker. It was tubbed....but it ran a turbo 350.

Thanks Randy. Two strokes will not be around forever and the knowledge you share will keep the flame burning a little longer for us younger guys.

[Jesse Bills]

That's great Jesse.

Washing my hands of it now.

I hope the "check" is certified not rubber.

I hope the "check" is certified not rubber.

What the hell do you know about rubbers?

 

[MG porting]

Good news it would still be nice to see the MM cylinder back where it belongs but we know what IH is going to be doing with it and we know it's not his work in any case. Glad he paid you the money at least and now this crazy crap can come to a close.

 

[Jesse Bills]

To anyone who wanted to know my lesson on bad saw builders is officially done the check cleared thanks for all the support

 

[Mastermind]

Now.....let's see if we can keep this thread about the how and why of porting a 390XP and not about hack saw builders.

Any questions about the saw?

Timing advance?

Muffler mods?

Etc....
