This will be Dave's last season doing the chassis and suspension seminars. If you haven't gone this will be the last chance. Great information from a great guy!

There is going to be a lot of fiberglass and lexan in your future. I would also look at lightening the front K member a bit and aluminum heads. That is where the biggest part of weight savings are going to come from. I (on a car I used to have) cut out all the excess metal below the 1/4 window...

How crazy do you want to get? You could turn it into a 2100 lb car if you really want to.

I had a 73 duster that was a 360 with 904 and 8 3/4 with street tires, one RCI front seat no p/s seat and it did have the rear seat in the car all steel car and with me in it it weighed 3030 if that helps.

Believe it or not it really didn't seem that bad from where I was. Kinda all went in slow motion. I used to be stationed at Schofield out there. Thanks for serving.:prayer: You from out here?

Hey when you are a hired gun and don't have to pay for any of it you don't grip too much about whats in it!:D

If it is strictly a race car that you trailer to the track then no. But like was said it really wouldn't hurt if you use a car that does have a title and you photo progress from the begining just for insurance sakes.

Yeah it is. I talked to a guy that has been running the Nostalgia jr fuel cars for years and he told me its not a matter of want with these things you have to run them. So I will be building a set over the winter.

Here is my opinion. I literally grew up in racing. 2 days old sitting in the tower of the old Houston track. If you do not want to buy a car from someone that is already done and you want to build one look at it like this: 1. Build more car than you "think" you will ever run. 2. Even if you...

I am going to do a couple of things. I am going to build a weight bar that we can add or remove weight (should be all I have to do). Going to wire in a manual over ride for the electric shifter, and also set it up to where I can pull timing out when I release the trans brake. I will only pull...

It actually has gone straight the other 10 passes or so we have on it. That was just a freak of nature kinda deal. The second pass it left straight and just kept going up and up til I lifted. We have started adding more power and that tends to bring out the little kinks that weren't there before.

Little nostalgia dragster excitement - YouTube We only made the two passes. But I was wide awake after words!

Even with an actual dry sump type of system you many times will still benefit from having a vaccum pump on the engine. A dry sump will pull a vacuum in the crank case but many of the times it may only pull up to about 5" of vacuum. But you also have to ensure that you have the engine sealed up...

This is the only pic I have right now. I know we are going to run it again on the 27th and I will also try to get some video of a pass or two then as well.

Well after hiding for the last couple of years and finally finding my way out of the deep dark cave I had found myself in I am finally in the light and I am back! Just came back to Painless after a few years away and away from here. Sorry I wasn't around and it feels good to be back at Painless...

Dave Morgan has been touring the country, giving evening-time seminars and it’s apparent that the evening timeframe is not popular. In an effort to help drag racers during the racing season, Dave has developed new lesson plans and schedules. It all begins in Texas. Teach & Tune...

Nice! Looks like the car worked pretty good for a first time out.

Jim here is the other info I was telling you I would get for you. Jim here are some specs for you 318 (5.2)1967-2002 3.91 stroke Main journal 2.50 360 (5.9)1971-2002 3.58 stroke Main journal 2.81 All rod journals were 2.125

Dang Jim this is sounding a lot like what I said on the other board and on the phone a little while ago on the phone! :-D

I know the smallest class he has had was 18. I've never heard him really put a cap on how big the class is. But between 20 and 30 would be optimum in my opinion after hosting a class. That way its not too big that you don't get the chance for interaction and there is enough people there to...

"Dave Morgan Saved Me a Bunch of Money" (Tex Ooten, Norwalk, Ohio) * Racers are learning the value of Dave Morgan's knowledge * New Setup Workshops to begin this year * Seminar registration information at the end of the announcement Okay, okay, I understand this is a weird...

On Sat. November 22nd at Painless Performance. We will be offering a tour of our facility in the begining of the day and then will start with the class. Painless will also be providing lunch for this seminar. Come and learn about chassis set up and have a good meal on Painless. You can contact...

Thanks guys! All we can do really is keep a look out. This kinda thing really sucks to hear about.

The attached photo is a Roadster Race car that was stolen Wednesday Night 27th after 10:00pm and before the morning of the 28th 8:00 am From the Mid-Michigan Motor-Plex in Stanton MI. The Car was in a 2007 Classic 26 foot White Trailer with Aluminum wheels With round holes (Centerline style)...

For the second time in a race car in 7 years I went three rounds. Two weeks ago I went two rounds in Steve White's Demon. Well this weekend at our TMCC race in Ennis I was running King Willie's 88 Dakota with a 408. Took a little getting used to the shifter (first pass I left in second gear)...

Well folks. The time is approaching. April 12th (saturday in Houston) and April 13th (sunday in Ft. Worth at Painless performance) there will be seminars back in Texas. I will have more info on the location for the Houston class this week and even more on the Dallas/Ft.Worth class in a week or...

Here is the information for the class! I. Technical history of drag racing A. Suspension violence B. Tire designs C. Transmission sciences D. Chassis designs E. Shock designs II. Weight transfer A. Wheel torque B. Thrust C. G-force D. Amount of weight transfer III. Center of...

Well everyone, its time for round two and round three. I just recieved an email from Dave Morgan about doing another series of seminars for chassis and suspension. The dates would be as follows. 21 April in Houston location to be determined. 28 April in Ft. Worth at Painless Performance...

I will be using a competition engineering 12 point in my Demon. I should be ordering it next month.

To answer your question with what you have there I would take it for about $4500 to $5000 with out the carb. This being based on a cast crank the lower end (but better then stock) rods. Econo heads. Any motor that I buy I would tear down and freshen up if I didn't know the motor and see what it...
