    Hey, if it works... pretty cheap to buy and they undeniably work as race cars very well! I wish I'd seen it run.. any underhood pics? Saw a low buck version at KCIR years ago at a Mopar show.. 79 with a FORDS SUCK sticker on it.. I thought WTF? Went and looked and it had a 361BB under the...

    When you flip the switch (or a track worker does) it kills everything.. that way, when you do a 7 foot wheelie and lose it into the retaining wall, flip over and are unconscious, hanging from the seatbelts... (5 point of course) they can shut off everything to reduce the chance of fire. It...

    Well, breaking parts sure shouldn't be one of your problems! It looks like you have most, if not all of the good stuff is in there! I was just throwing out the best stuff I could think of, lots of guys put all the bucks in the engine and forego the rest of the driveline.. not the problem here...

    Good deal Ryan, I would much rather laugh at broken Chevvies on the starting line! :finga: I don't care what Mythbusters tests show, pole vaults suck!:sad2: You might consider upgrading your u joints to a heavy duty version, a quality product like Dana/Spicer or Moog if your existing ones are...

    Ryan, If you have stock small bolt pattern rear axles you can buy Moroso 7/16 Chevy application studs and beat/press them in. I used to sacrifice an open end lug nut to use as a driver to pull them through and get them tight. A press works much easier.. they might let you slide on the long...

I had a 70 Duster named the Flying Tuna... then a 72 Gold Duster.. a red/white/ balck hooded 73 340 Dart Sport... an orange Volare Road Runner, then a black Aspen R/T with DIRECT CONNECTION on the quarters.. I was down on Dodge from 1979 until it...

    Glad to see another Mopar guy from the area. I think I remember seeing and talking to you last year. Nice looking Duster, we'll keep an eye out for you at the drags this year. As long as I'm not stuck working out of town all year, that is! Better get some slicks soon..... Alan

    Here'a a little stroll down memory lane.. this place is across Hwy. 50 from my neighborhood. Now used by Watkins Block, Omni E Engineering asphalt paving, and a lot of other industries. can't remember if the concession stand is still there, I think it finally got demolished a few years back...

    Finally, got my 5.9 Dart to the track. It went well, then it went to hell.

    I remember reading somwhere that stock magnum pushrods leave something to be desired in the strength department, supposedly only .080 wall or something like that, with flexing tendencies. I hope you luck out and only need a good set of pushrods. looks like a sweet ride, hope things turn out to...

    13's, stock '71 318 short block.

    You can reach the 13's and probably even the 12's with a stock type 318 bottom end, the 13's fairly easily. Just don't be disappointed if it doesn't get there right way. Most of the guys who have mostly stock engines that run well might spend a very long time trying lots of little tricks and...

    School me on Stock Eliminator?

    Even if you don't go Stock racing, you can pick up a lot of ideas from the Stock guys. I have a very good friend of mine who ran in I/SA with a 72 Demon, and he's the guy who talks me out of the stupid stuff! If you see two 71 Darts at a drag race, and one has a 340 with an iron manifold with a...
