poke this thing back in the car. :)
 
Imagine that. :)

We tossed them on right out of the box along with the Speedmaster rocket arm set. We did move the shims on the shaft around a bit for better alignment. I hope to get the motor back in the car in the next few weeks. April 11 will indeed be interesting...

I imagine in a few months we'll start to get results of "how much peoples cars dropped in ET" by bolting on these heads. Should be interesting.
 
I need to get back to that... I pulled the Action plus/770 Holley off and sold it. Gotta get busy... lol
Gotta be honest, this truck has taken all my "car time" think'n.... LOL. '74 Duster has been sitting about 2 weeks with no intake on it. I have to get back to the Dusters, some cool stuff going on with them.....
 
Divenut You run your stuff at Joliet Route 66 ?

Ya, I've run there in the past on T&T days/nights, but not with the Duster yet. Gotta do a bit more work to pass tech and get a new CRT 727 in this spring. Plan is to run down there this summer. Been chomping at the bit to see what she'll do.

I would not be surprised. The Dart was a 14.60s (13.40s for you flatlanders) car last year. We will know in April...

Just a 340, nothing fancy. Cam, (unknown grind), 650 Eddy, old Hooker comps, 6AL, 3500 Hughes convert, rmvb, 3.23s. Subframe connectors. Was running pretty good until the 727 started eating itself. Never base lined it, but would be real happy with mid'ish 13s in the current configuration. We'll see.... Future plans are, CRT 727 trans, aluminum heads (Eddys or Trickflow), 750 cfm Eddy and 3.90- 4.10's

Unfortunately it's been a on again, off again project, but it's coming along.

77 B200 long wheelbase van.
360, added some headers, Ede performer intake, 600 Holley, Comp 268H cam.
We used a B&M weighted flex plate and retained the stock converter
L60-15 rear tires and 3.23(3.21??) gears.
15.60’s.......
Be interesting to see how 318wills van stacks up.
This is bench-marked for me as one of my highlight runs early in the year. This kind of stuff catches my interest :)
 
  • '76 Duster - 360 getting stock heads swapped, eventually 3.23's in for 2.94's, cam swap, converter swap
  • '74 Duster - dual quads on the 318, and only the Lord knows what all could happen by the end of the year. Maybe drive train swap??
  • '89 B250 Van - 360 magnum - what's this whale going to swim in the 1/4 mile
  • Who knows what the 10's for 5 grand will produce!!!!
  • Son's Scat Pack with Corsa exhaust - Getting tires that bite, then a ET slip
Ya'll can list what you did and what your hoping for on ET slip!!!
UPDATE!! Just thinking back on this thread and all the post and people's plans..... All before the country was shut down for a couple months, and COVID. Well, here is where I am at on my list:
  • I did get the heads swapped
  • I did get the dual quads on the 318
  • 10's on 5K produced a truck, and some progress.
Anyone else with a update on what they listed ???
 
Havnt finished the coronet but did just get a new helmet so I can race. They wont let me use my old one.
