A-bodies.......Big motors

-
got my eyes on a completely rebuilt 392 that is just beautiful, a friend owns it, ill stick it in my 74 duster and try to beat him down on his price it only pushes around 400 hp but what a nice piece of art it would be in my 74
 
First time i noticed this! Kinda late, but welcome there Denny. Seems like you know quite a bit, and as i know very little, i'm gonna be watchin and learnin!

My ride, '69 original /6 car with a 360. Convinced that i'm gonna break the 7"1/4 this summer... o well. Gonna have it in the school shop tues for an easy paint job, just a good look type thing. Ahhh... to have the time and money to do it right....
 
Of course, HemiMark has driven his 528" Duster from Pittsburg to Columbus
for the Mopar Nats 4 years in a row.......no buddies or chase vehicles.......
just him, all by himself.

Let's see those drag cars do that!

Love to see these big motor beasts on the street for sure! Wish I could feed clean air to this one without a scoop but the "Super A-Body Scoop" should do the trick. Should have pics of the new scoop in a week or so...

11:1 452 cid mild hyd with mechanical progressive six pack (500 CFM 4412s outboard and 280 CFM center) Hooker 2 inch fenderwells, 452 pocket ported heads 727 with 2500 stall and 4:11 8 3/4 rear.

I saw those Hemi Dusters last year at the nats and those are definetly some intimidating mopars. Very nice vehicles. Great work. Can't wait to see them again.
 
BTW.......Here is HemiMark's Duster
(with his Torque-Thrusts) on The
Mopar Collector's Guide cover........

Denny, I pulled out the orange Dust pan today for a quick joy ride. The Goodyear Eagle II's I put on for the drive to the Mopar Nats last year are now bald! I beat the living daylights out of that Hemi today. sideways out of the hole. 5200 rpm (AKA Ronnie Sox's into second) just to straighten the little bugger out and down the road I went....by the time I reached for 5th I had my pecker in my hand! (mistaken Identity for the old hurst shifter! (short throw) LOL.... I talked to Brother Mark and all is well..... He was in good sprite's... Cancer is under controll and It look's like treatment wont stop him from moving forward on my Dart........I miss all my brothers in Ohio.....
 
I just recieved one of those new reproduction Shark Tooth grills
complete with the parking light lenses. It looks reinforced compared
to the fragile originals. I'll get some argent paint on it when the time
comes.

I hope to get all of the house issues completed and get back to
building cars very soon.

Actually they are some kind of commercial truck fenders that I cut
down. They are heavy guage and nicely rounded on the edges.
