    73 Duster build named Fred

    Engine dyno or chassis? I use Wallace a bunch and think it's a reasonable predictor. Instead of sifting thru the older posts I was hoping he/someone could summarize the info. The best I saw was 104 in 660ft so, knowing he probably hasn't eeked all available MPH from it, that's promising...

    73 Duster build named Fred

    Funny but this post never got set yesterday. When I logged-in it was still in the que so, I hit enter...looks like a few have mentioned the same points about video on the tach 'hillbilly data acq". But still I'd be interested to know the weight and MPH in consideration of the weather. I'd also...

    73 Duster build named Fred

    Havent watched the vid but it might show 'fall-back' rpm? Yes I'd be curious to run the numbers thru something like Wallace to see where you're at. Weight on the line and MPH are a good start. Based on the little I know, I'd expect the engine parts would make less than 600HP.

    73 Duster build named Fred

    Good work Boosted! I agree in what seems to be the theory/direction you are choosing going after the converter. No doubts the motor is making more power because the front half ISN'T there but the 660 ET/MPH is promising! While it might be interesting to know the current ICL, I'd probably leave...

    **600hp sbm block limit? Or is it bs!!**

    That's Scott "Dizuster"...he's using my old motor for NSS racing now. It was a magnum block and crank with good rods and good pistons. Blow-thru carb e85 and cnc eddy heads and custom hyd roller. Ran 9.55 @ at least 3750lbs. but it was being leaned-on to get there 22-24? pounds and it hurt...

    Cam change?

    Right? But even the HS that were commonly used back in the day on that cam were close to 1.54RR (which yielded closer to 1.5 in NET) and they worked decent with the Isky 8005. But we all see the actual ratios vary significantly on different rockers. But all these reasons show the OP how this...

    70 dart 470 ci drag car build.

    Right! Excellent idear.

    Cam change?

    That might be difficult to find a spring that'll control everything without wiping the cam.

    70 dart 470 ci drag car build.

    For those areas you could try a strip of metal as filler if it's easier to 'repair'. 1/16 is pretty standard because you can cleko pin/fit the sheet metal.

    70 dart 470 ci drag car build.

    Are you going to gusset the sliders at the overhang on the framerails?

    Who was the guy looking for a drag car.

    NEEDS a beadlock conversion, IDK.

    Cam change?

    Before you take the old one out, record it's icl and cranking compression. New cam should be an improvement because you still have a small head on big cid. Measure the p2v on the intake at 104 and the exhaust with the icl at 108. I'd probably put it around 105 to start. I'd be curious to know...

    W5 heads

    Yes that's what I thought both counts ...thank you!

    W5 heads

    So Mullen cast the head too? (I said 'some portion') Also, back around 1992 I was paging thru some old pics at Koffel's and saw a big block head with unique ports and chamber which was designated with a "W" moniker...e.g.-Weslake. The engineering team at Mopar was one of, if not the first to...

    W5 heads

    This is what I remember. I think it was Weslake? that did some portion of that.

    W5 heads

    Who installed the seat inserts? I assume Brett? What material did they use on the intake side?

    Small Block and Big Block Damper Question

    Yes you can. Depending on the damper and where you decide to put your timing marker and required depth. Yes it is indexed differently but there is no phasing in a neutral balance balancer.

    Can i see your 1970-1972 Dart Race Cars.

    Did you notice what both of the white '62s ran in A/FX? (One Dodge, one Plymouth.)

    Thanks for sharing the pics! Any idea what the blue GTX runs? Looks like it has a Predator headed combo?

    Small block w/ 3.79 crank

    Respectfully, I've never looked at the W7 or what may have been the last iteration of a w7 before the w8 but, I'd think 800 is possible! Only person I know of that had a good running W7 was Laverne with the Duster but, I'm not privy to many SBM combos. One thing I can share here is even the W8...

    Lexan windows

    SO, One thing you'll hear from regular bracket guys is the lexan will fog so that is a negative IMO. Also, depending on the thickness and speed you'll have to brace the center. After all was said and done on mine there may have been 10 pounds saved. But it took a lot of work, because the...
