The 65 Valiant i ran a few years back would run 10.20's at 130 mph. The combination was 360 stock stroke, 11.5:1 compression, Heavily worked J heads, a Mopar .590 flat tappet cam, 850 holley, 8" converter, 904 with aluminum drums,. Car weighed just under 2900lbs. This was in bracket mode...

Any idea if the kit will work in an early A body?

So was it a Chevy or a Firebird? Push all you want just dont look down the carb when its running.... glad to hear you weren't seriously injured and are now a little bit wiser. I have done alot of dumb things and each time re-examined where my dumb *** went wrong and learned from the mistake...

Quicker than the car next to you is always respectable...

So rmchrgr you sure do run your mouth alot.. how does your car run? How quick is it smart ***? Have you ever raced a season in a class? Or a casual hit the track once or twice evet and brag about it for ever?? Lets see a handfull of time slips with a W? Or shut up.. fair enough?

Hey RMCHRGR **** OFF!

Wow... is all i can say... i have been around NHRA class racing for a long time..all mopars- usually 360's my family has run stock and primarily super stock, built lots of engines, set records, won national, and division races, qualified #1 at Indy... i was there helping build the cars, engines...

Nice!!! Any pictures or description of how you mounted the shroud to the radiator?

2865. My cousin's duster all steel at a little over 3000lbs ran 10.40's..

:happy1: So is Stroked 340 going to answer? Oh and my combination was in 3 different engines... i had my primary engine my cousin ran the same combination and we had a spare engine to share between us .. all with the mp 590 cam all had several hundred runs on them... never a cam failure...

So tell us about your combination that did not run good... its just a question.. no need to get defensive... pretty much all combinatins can be tweaked some to be optimized... gear, timing, carb, converter stall... lots of variables.

Too many times a mismatched combination is blamed on the camshaft... What converter and gear ratio were you running?

Yeah those .590 cams are outdated and dont run worth a damm.... I only ran 10.20's at around 130 mph in bracket mode... won alot of rounds with this combination This was just a typical pass on my old bracket car... 360 stock stroke ported J heads, .590 cam, victor 340 manifold, 850 demon...

The Pomona swap meet is coming up. Always a good source. Picked up an original 74 dart sport 360 car out there about 15 years ago...

I have always gotten my wire from the welding supply... finer strand carries current better and be ds easier. And usually cheaper too. Go with 1 or 2 guage at the smallest.
