Any radial racers or small tire guys?

Damn that's a great looking car there Bob.
MY OLD BIG block 73 dart ran a few 10.49 in the 1/4 with the same size and brand tire you have. My friend that has my old 71 Duster has been in the 10.30 at 132 mph with the same tire.

Very cool Bobby, I love these 275 tires. My car has a ton of potential to go faster but I'm keeping it 95% street with 3.23 gears, full exhaust, small tube headers, mechanical water pum and fan, street converter, 4150 carb etc.
 
I'll be running a radial Mickey Thompson ET Street SS 28x12.5R15. Hopefully everything survives with my manual trans!

Here is a video of the dart right after I put the 3.5 exhaust on. You can see the radial tires in the vid. If I can get the damn video to post. Lol

 
Pretty sweet rides!

When I posted this I was thinking more along the line of x275 or 235 guys but I guess there aren’t many around :(

Thanks Bob. The car was a blast to drive on the track or the steeet. I built it to run on 93 pump gas and run 10.50 in the 1/4. Which I reached both my goals at the time. I just wish I could of tested more because I think it had at least 10.30 in it. But sold it before I could find out. Also the car and me needed to go on a Diet lol. It weighed 3520 with me in it.

I started out with 4.10 but blew them up on its 4th time down the track right after I got the car runing. The 10.49 ET was with 4.30 gears in the 8-3/4. I used them because I had a good used set. I think the car would of been faster with the 4.10 but I never got around to installing a set before I sold it
 
Totally lost interest in finishing mine. I hope I get the bug again soon.

I could have the engine and transmission done in 2-3 days if I get my interest back again

Transmission has been sitting on my stand for 6 weeks about 80% done.
