The MCCC 2008 Fun Run will take place on Sunday October 19th. This low stress event is traditionally a good time, with good eats, and some of the best weather conditions of the year. This year, we will once again make use of Buckhead Creek Park as the site of our cookout. We will also begin the poker run from the park, which is a slight change from prior years.
Note that some of our most talented members have graciously donated their time and materials to make a freshly rebuilt Chevrolet 350 engine available as a prize. Special thanks to Ronny Hodnett for donating the engine, and to Gerald Raymer for engine assembly. Also many thanks to Bullet Cams, Vortex Coatings, and NAPA auto Parts for donating parts and supplies for the rebuild. A drawing for the engine will occur during the Fun Run, and tickets can be obtained at selected events (including the Fun Run).
The engine is a numbers matching 350 from a 1974 Chevelle except for the 4 barrel spreadbore intake manifold. It has a standard crankshaft .030 flat top pistons 1.94 intake valves. The compression ratio should be around 9.0 to 1. The Bullet camshaft is a stock grind. Should be around 275 Horse power. In other words, it's perfect for a daily use in a classic Chevy or street rod project.
Proceeds from this years Fun Run will be pooled with the Proceeds from the Memphis Rodders Reunion to benefit the Shriner's Burn Transportation Fund which provides patient transportation to Shriner's Hospitals specializing in pediatric burn care. Please make your plans now to attend this event and support this worthy cause.
