    anybody smallblocked a d50? how about turbo'd one?

    There are some guys putting 4G63 from Talon, Eclipse in them. Many work with the OE trans, and those motors, when built appropriately, will handle 30PSI. There is a guy over on TTF.com that put this motor into a 74 Dart...

    anybody smallblocked a d50? how about turbo'd one?

    Slowly. I have decided to go straight up 70's Pro Stock vibe. I have Cragar Super Tricks, single 4 barrel tunnel ram, and going to track down a hilborn style scoop, anodized valve covers, etc. Need to get started on the frame.

    anybody smallblocked a d50? how about turbo'd one?

    When it gets time to tune the Magnum motor with boost, search Duner on www.theturboforums.com He has a pretty good fuel side recipe, that keeps fuel "right" and inline with the increased air flow. keep in mind, stock stuff is speed density, it does not see improvements in air flow via mass...

    ***Heater Delete for 12pt Cage Questions***

    The mohave heater from flex a lite will do the trick, and it is compact enough that it will probably go back behind the glove box area. Several vendors are now making heated seat retrofit kits, for surprisingly little money. Check Dorman, and Crimestopper.

    Turbo 6 @ the Track ...almost 10s

    Hmmmm. AF ratio's in good area, MSD box, and good plugs. Wonder what is causing the misfire? Any chance plugs too cold heat range?

    Shaker...what are your plugs gapped at? Any chance you are blow out the spark? Would a smaller gap help?

    Got my junkyard magnum motor in the 11s!

    I think there is a perception that Magnum = huge improvement over LA. The Magnum gets the nod in stock or closed to stock situations because of the roller valve train, better flow heads, and the reality that most Magnums are in better shape in junkyard and stock configuration because they are...

    Race Car Renovation

    May I make a suggestion? The strut setup for the deck lid....flip the struts around 180 degrees. The oil inside lubes, and keeps the seals from drying. If you flip it over the seals stay bathed in fluid. (Camper shell and tonneau cover manufacturers learned the hard way....) Excellent...

    Many of the Hemi cylinder head suppliers have a dual plug configuration. The Hemi design engine breathes very well, but for compression the pistons have a pretty sizeable dome, as such the cylinder is somewhat split. In an effort for spark front improvement they changed to a dual plug...

    New drag car- Beware not mopar

    I see no problems using leaf springs. I do think you need to cut off the spring pads from their current location, and move them inboard, and weld them onto the axle under the leaf spring location. This will keep the housing itself from spinning. Solid mount the front, no shackles, and run a...

    anyboby smallblocked a 70's colt?

    I am working on it right now....kinda. The car is out back under the deck. Fits like a glove. I am going with a magnum motor from a Dodge Van, 318 / auto / rear is undecided. The frame and shock towers are a bit weak on this one, so it will get a full boxed frame. There is some ohter...

    For a dealer, it would probably be cheaper to start with a 6 cylinder model, and run with it like they are. Hell, everything they took off could be put into parts stock, and resold. By the time you sell off the entire drive train, unused interior parts, etc, they could make back a huge portion...

    New drag car- Beware not mopar

    It has a solid start. Pressure wash, sand blast, or dip, and get started. The frame work, etc cost someone some bucks to start with. FLat black it with some pinstriping, and run with it. I LOVE IT!

    How can I drop my 60ft.

    I thought they lowered the ET limit down to 11.49 before a roll bar was required because of all of the fast OE cars that are coming out. Might want to do a little research there.....:read2:

    How can I drop my 60ft.

    I would start simple: Unload everything at the track, tools, jacks, etc. I would unhook sway bar to allow more front end lift, run with a fuller tank of fuel as ballast, and leave a little harder, higher to find where the traction limit is. I understand you taking it easy on the first few...
