Another episode of "What will it run?!"
Update...
Hydraulic lifters suck. All 8 of these turds bleed down so bad at the end of a run it sounds like a 12v cummins. Which explains last few times at the track I notice the last 200+ ft of track the car does nothing, doesn't pull anymore. Then sounds like a diesel on the return road.
That being said.. There have been some changes and next year, I think this thing is gonna rip. The girlfriend has acquired a '73 duster. Basically my stroker and converter is getting plopped in it, probably with some better lifters. New engine and converter getting plopped into the dart.
New combo for Dart:
'92 roller 360 block
Scat forged rotating assy. rings have been gapped for nitrous
11.53:1 static comp
Promaxx Shocker heads - 284cfm @ .600 / 219@ .600 ex. (this may change to something else, not sure yet.)
Lunati 400200734 Solid Roller - 255/263 @ .050 .600/.600 lift (maybe? I like Lunati cams)
Comp Magnum 1.5 rockers
Victor 340 intake (would a Super Victor be better?)
850 or larger holley
Hughes transmission MVB
Dynamic 4200-5000 8" converter (have one new in box)
4.30 sure grip 8 3/4
Cal Trac monoleafs w/ trac bars (already installed)
still have the 255/60/15 MT ET street R tires
I guess we'll see how it hooks with the small tires.. For some reason I really want to make it work with the small tire just to say I did it. But not sure if that will pan out. I May break down and end up mini tubbing or at least spring relocation and see if I can fit some 275's.
Any input again, appreciated. And what do you think the new combo will run? -the average DA at my "local" track during the summer is usually 6000-7000ft.
Gratuitous engine pics...
