I see nothing jumping out at me by the pictures, nor in what you said you have for timing to cause the failure. Did the gaskets blow in the same spot? For me, I'd question the torque and seating of the heads to the block. I do not know the manufacturer of those head gaskets, so i cannot...

drive it till you don't like it ..... :)

My current tow vehicle is a B250 full size van. It runs about the same as your old tow vehicle. It went 15.8's consistent.

about 35 years of going to the track off and on - as a hobbyist. Never been a serious class racer.

Seems I went and watched a couple of times, then when I was 17, I made my first pass ever and went 16.72 in the 1/4 at Cordova Dragway in a worn out, high mileage 318 2bbl single exhaust '73 Dart Swinger. Car had a half dead cylinder and was a wreck :D :D

I personally think slaghammer is a cool, unique car. Has a lot of yesteryear in it. One of a kind that's for sure. I have a weakness for the Dodge Demons. Had one when I was 16. DDG has a beautiful car.

I like these call-outs on youtube, because you get to see the builds and actual race on video. Youtube has lots of communities, just like FABO is a community. You get to know the members, their character, etc no matter where they are from. And it's amazing how much they (we) talk, email, and...

Exactly. I'm just sharing what I've been doing for years. Extension of the hobby as I put it.

This is aside from the race, but UTG has said more than once it's a business and his lively hood. He cannot put 25k into a channel car or he'd go upside down. He has to do things cost effective, meaning the videos pay more than he is putting into the projects, plus pay rent for the shop...

well, I seriously doubt either of the two are interested in "going rounds" bracket racing. I think DDG was on a "tour" and heading to a mopar show anyways if I understand correctly. Stopping by to race UTG was just for grins and giggles. I doubt there was pride or money on the line.. maybe...

Moparmega said the UTG car was slow. I said both cars underachieved ET wise

it was good enough to win the race/challenge. Don't just pick on Tony.... a hopped up 360 like that in a A-body running 9's isn't so story telling would ya say ?? Neither car overachieved but the fun was in the race (or supposed to be), not the times they turned.

You can drill the magnum block and run LA heads and valve train?

Slaghammer - girggled for about 200 ft and ran a 8.60 in the race. DDG - Ran a best of 9.04 during his 2 trial passes before breaking on the official race run

Looks like a Fun project

Welcome!

That Demon is a swwweeet car!

and I care about that???? LOL :lol:

You can hear slaghammer was struggling to move the first 300 ft. It wouldn't have taken much to take him on that run. IF DDG would have rode the clutch just a little and kept the RPM's up, he'd have probably won even though his first two passes were in the 9's.

^^^^ :lol:^^^^

UTG is now 2-0 against other channels ???? :lol:

You have time... your still here... :poke:

I told you they without interest would return ... Must have more hours in their day than I do. :poke:

It's a race between two A-bodies. 383 BB auto vs 360 SB 4 speed. This is a A-body site and racers forum. It's amazing how many of those not interested are always interested enough to leave a comment to tell us they aren't interested as if anyone is interested in their disinterest. :D...

One time, heads up....

Nice! Subscribed!

I've not installed TTI's (headers) on a A-body, but Doug's have been the best fitting header I've installed on a Duster. :)

Hands down the best fitting headers I've ever installed took 40 seconds to hang both sides. OOOoops, you wanted A-body and that was a B-body. Sorry

I think he said they all have blocks to fill the bill..... he didn't say factory stroke crank and block :)
