AND you brought it back basically ready to hit the track again without any major thrashing! Outstanding! :)

Well I happen to know that Jari has dug himself out of the snow and is headed to the track shortly with a fresh 273 stuffed under his Dart's hood. In the meantime I've already gotten my first two race weekends in First down at VIR for an SCCA Regional Club Racing double (in a 1980 Pinto, Yeah I...

Finished the hood fitment this past Sunday. Installed the leading edge trim with a piece of 1/16" wall aluminum angle stock backing it up and two short pieces tying the front of the hood to the underside of the outboard hood pin reinforcing plates: If this doesn't keep the hood...

I'm using a race weight hood on my '66 Dart and nailing down the front 8" has been problematic. Above about 134 it would start to flutter with 4 pins across the radiator support and interim measures involving HD zip ties eventually failed leading to the installation of a new hood. This time...

Hi Dibbons, On the street they certainly serve as a theft deterrent (as long as you take it with you or at least put it in the trunk; otherwise it's more of a theft opportunity), however the main benefit of a detachable wheel is to make getting in (and especially) getting out of the car easier...

Nice! They make great track & Autocross cars! Dave

Another vote for the Milodon road race pan. Excellent ground clearance, genuine 7 quart system capacity, really good oil control... Have gone out on track, forgetting to turn on my accusump and NOT had the 25 Psi oil light come on anywhere on the Summit Point main circuit. Dave :D

Here's an addendum to the Zebra's 318 build. What the combuston chambers looked like after Mr Johnson got done with them:

Yep. Copied what you provided. Dave

Some from the VRG Turkey Bowl at Summit Point WV last weekend:

Hi, I'm a little late to the table but :) : This is a vintage road racing legal (http://www.svra.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Chrysler_Corp-MoPar_64-66.pdf) 93 octane pump gas build: Comp Cams Mech Roller Lift: 0.630" 0.630" [email protected]": 254 260 AdvDur(@0.006"): 284/292 LSA...

Yeah, the weekend went very well! I had fun and the brakes were flawless hauling the car down from 145 for the 2nd gear turn one all weekend with only between session rear drum adjustments! The Porsche Never did get buy me, the Vette (race gas L88 Rat) motored by both of us on the next...

Got a total of about 50 laps in, burned about 28 gallons of 93 octane BP/Amaco, ran a best lap of 1:34.136 on Summit Point Main (lots of room for improvement there), and had a total blast:

Got it from Amazon last week and leafed through it on Saturday, Definitely worth going back to do a detailed read later. Tantalizing mention of the Group 44 Dart having turned up in the '80s but no real details on that car (a friend of mine has the an alignment receipt with spec's for that...

Latch, they are cheaper and less likely to get released accidentally; although this is less likely and less of a problem at the drag strip than it is on a road course.

Hey Mike! :cheers: Welcome to the forum! BTW the Early Valiant and Barracuda Club has some neat Barracuda 50th SWAG on Cafe Press: http://www.cafepress.com/evbc Dave

A few more shots from the 2013 VRG Turkey Bowl at Summit Point:

Ran a solid cam - Lift:0.541"/0.522" Duration (Advertized):284°/288° Duration (@ 0.050" lift):242°/246° For nine years with the same aluminum rockers (a decent but not premium set (Scorpion I think)). Changed the valve springs out once about year...

Well, I COULD post another Ford photo as I DO have a '66 Mustang that runs in SCCA Solo competition in C/Prepared (422 RwHp, 25"x13" slicks and 16"x12" wheels all around), but I'll just post these two. My '66 A/Sedan Dart and my '66 Formula S (C/Prepared "lite") Barracuda.

Hi Jari! Cross-referencing some posts made on other threads that really apply as well or better here: Vintage Racing car preparation rules: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showpost.php?p=1970082938&postcount=25 Pump Gas Vintage Race 318 build...

Hi Folks. OK, I had a really great weekend at the VRG (www.vrgonline.org) Turkey Bowl at Summit Point WV! I picked the Dart up from Maryland Performance Center (www.marylandperformance.com/main.html) with its freshened-up 318 Wednesday night, hot off of the chassis dyno (311 HP at the wheels...

I didn't want to start a whole new thread so i ran a search for something related. Yep, my current heads are limiting the out put, but it would only take another 45 - 50 CFM on the intake to be right there without even needing race gas. :D Also curious to see if the OP actually beat Dad...

Here's the 318 combo that's going into my Vintage Road Race '66 Dart: I don't think it would run the number we're looking for here, with the current heads/intake. But it sure would with some ported LA-X heads and either an RPM Airgap, or single plane manifold. '69 318 0.050" over bock, K1...

Hi Chris, This is a great project to take on. The early Barracudas and Darts are actually a better place to start to build a road race car than the Mustang (having built/tuned on all three I speak with a little experience: http://users.erols.com/dmapes/ ). Most of the vintage rule sets out...
