You have a 300hp crate 360?..Looks good to me
no. But all a 300 crate 360 is, is a stock 5.9 magnum with headers and 4 bbl intake.

I was under the impression that a stock 5.9 Magnum was about 245 horsepower...
If I ever move to a place that has no DEQ requirements or they just quit doing it I'm putting a 4-barrel and headers on my truck!...
245 is Net. 300 would be gross.

I think I've watched about every Dodge drag truck on you tube.... LOL Mainly to watch suspension and tires. Since this is my first time trying to go fast in a truck, I'm trying to learn. I'm even looking at homemade traction devices.

LOL you want some of this...
LOL... 318 hits me with just as many disagrees...
Naw, kinda like watching Hobbs and Shaw. Ya gotta know when not to get in the middle.
Are you gonna allow for those traction bars tucked way underneath?
I'll for sure have traction device. If I go car rear end, which I might, then I can use the cheap slapper bars like I have on my Duster.

10's on 5 is a very tall order...
You can always buy a used Hayabusa. A buddy bought one for $4k. Much more exciting through a 1/4 mile than being strapped in a cage! Less fuel burn too.

If it can be done 318willrun will do it!

I can hardly wait for 318 to see this thread revived LOL...
Progress on the drag truck has come to a halt as life and times are busy. I do drive it now and then and I drove it today. Right now I'm involved with a home project to free up space for more parking and also the future sight of my garage/shop.

Very cool. You NEED a shop to work on your stuff. Working in the driveway and stuff like that is tough duty.
Kind of funny, because of multiple projects going on at once, I have been working on stuff a lot outside. Sometimes on the slab next to my shop, but a lot laying on the gravel driveway too. It took 4 used starters until we got one that would crank Matt's 10.7:1 Magnum reliably when hot.
We just pushed Old Yeller onto the slab. I scraped a whole bunch of moss off of it, after the rain softened it up yesterday.

About as exciting on a dragstrip as watching weeds grow too----------
My entire life I've never had a garage, just the concrete under the large deck that kept everything damp and for years I didn't even have that concrete slab! I was in gravel or dirt. Now the deck is almost all gone, and plans are in place and starting to take action. I have done some things (and still do) out of the storage shed. But I'm not pulling motors or tranny's down there.
That is all I had when I was younger, a gravel drive way by my parent's house. Built my first motor, a 360 sbm, in their house and Dad helped me build a tent out of tarps because it wouldn't stop raining for me to swap it in. I put that 360 mopar in a 62 ford pickup. Made my own mounts with the welder I had in their basement. FUN TIMES!!!
