FW: [DeTomaso] Dyno Shop In The OC / New Engine for The Winged Warrior

[Dan Courtney]

-John,


The advice I'm getting now is to have the Weber's done on a chassis dyno
because the exhaust, etc will alter things.
That means I have to find another way of determining if this motor is good
prior to installing it.

It'll take more than one run!  If Superior is good at tuning webbers, it
might be a bargain.

 I just bought a 351C off Ebay (with Webers) to quickly get The Winged
Warrior back on the road.
I'm driving up to Huntington Beach to pick it up this afternoon and I'm
trying to find a shop with an engine dyno so I can test it prior to
installing.
I called Superior Engineering in Anaheim but they want $550.00 just for
the
one run so I'm hoping to find someplace more reasonable.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
In case you are curious, here is the link to the engine:

The cool thing is The WInged Warrior originally had Webers when it's
restoration was completed by Dennis Quella at Pantera Performance in
'85.
Weston Hook had removed the Webers prior to selling me the car but the
deck
lid is already notched and this will bring the car back to it's original
(post resto) look.

By the way, any tips on a Weber "tuner" would be appreciated.

Thank You,
Dan
