George, how high do the front wheels come up on a launch? What kind of times are you turning at the track? My bet is high tens low elevens. Looks great!!

Sure, go for it. I am just learning this site too. I like the threads but I haven't added anything yet. I will.

George, it sounds like you are having a blast. What a hot rod! I didn't get to take the car out too much this summer. Was too busy at work. Luv it though... Great Pics! Dave.

George, your car looks great! You did a lot since the spring. I'll bet it Screeeeeems!!!!

Hey George, I love the dash! Looks like you will be driving soon. Can't wait to see it on the road. That car is going to screeeeem!!! Not much going on here... just ordered the headlight switch and installed a new tach. The dimmer portion of the switch gave out. The copper wiper arm of the...

Looking good George! Keep up the good work. You're getting there!

Hey George, No problem bringing the car by. My pleasure! The radio sounds great. I'm glad because the Ebay radio is junk! Looking forward to more pics! I will check out the shocks first, then the alignment. If I need to align it I will. It's kind of a pain doing it in my garage because it is...

Me too! Weed whacked and cut grass, then pulled out the radio and found the interference problem. It was one of the two wires that are part of the speaker, grounding to the speaker frame. I just insulated them and all is well. I actually like a.m. radio. Reminds me of the old days! I checked...

George, I couldn't get the pipes apart at the mufflers to make them short enough to fit in the trunk without messing them up so I air chiseled the joint at the down tube to front pipe. You will need to cut off as needed anyway to adapt to you fender well pipes. But it will be a breeze to...

No doubt these pipes will sound great with that big block George! Glad you can use them! See you Saturday. I'd like to show you what I've done to the dart George, but as long as I am going your way, I'll save you a trip and briing the pipes in the truck.

Hi George! You can have the old system no charge. Thanks for the offer on the paint. I will take you up on it if you have any left. If you are around this weekend I will will give you a call and maybe stop by. The reason I say the engine was overhauled is because the pistons are .030" over...

Thanks George. I will take a look at the headlight switch. If I need to replace it I will. Much Appreciated! Dave.

Hi George! I know is sounds crazy but it really looked like oil. I agree it didn't make sense coming from the head gaskets, but I laid under the car while it was running and I could see black oily stuff bubbling right in the seam between the head and the block. It wasn't oil, it was antifreeze...

The engine was built by M&R Engines, Glendale California. They claim to have built the same stroker motor for Boyd Coddington's Bud Lite Roadster. I should have said my experience was on a 350 Chevy small block, and should not base my opinion on that alone. It is good to know that Mopars allow...
