When are you gonna get it painted and what color? I like that build, hope you get it running. Did you get the turbo stuff also?

We need to bring this thread back to life. I am planning a Vortech V7 YSI, blow through, for my 540 in the KOS Demon. E85, maybe some Meth, non-intercooled.

If the idiots at FIAT restrict the number of these - just drop the talk of the car as it is a sham. if they make as many as demand dictates, they have a high priced winner. edit: They may be idiots...

Is the pulley that you just changed slipping on the blower shaft?

I have been in your shop and am still jelly as all get out on how big it is! A shop like that and I would have zero excuses for not getting anything done on my junk. Still want to hear about those K frames your bud is building.

Would like to hear more about those K frames. Sorry to hear about the Dart but I fully understand. I hope it isn't about the RE market (actual buyers, not hedge funds) slowing. I did something similar to your prostreet Scamp and just bought a car. Poor ole fish will have to wait. Track...

I think you mean "mad dart" and I don't think he has run the twin turbo SB stroker yet with the snails. Last I saw he had the stroker in his pro street Dart N/A with some spray and is terrorizing the streets of SoCal. I wouldn't trust Indy to build me an engine. Nope, NFW.

The reason why those rustangs are so fast is they are easy to add boost. Around this area there are a bunch of boosted ferds. I hate them all but have to respect.

Learn to love Remington "Rem Oil" and use it liberally on hardened parts. I fight the same issue with condensation in my cold/damp shop. I also use the stuff on valve springs, rocker shafts, cylinder walls, etc.

Can you take the timing signal off the front of the crank with a "whatever" is used on the balancer? Looks like a pickup wouldn't be a big clearance issue. Would still need to put some kind of downward thing on the oil pump drive like a flat mock distributor I think. Has probably been worked...

I likey! That twin intake scoop with the working butterflys will really look cool if you run it. Next up after it runs is... stroker? Check out the crate engine Indy has - 725HP! http://www.indyheads.com/408smallblock.html Notice the offset distributor they had to use? Not sure why they...

There is a 6.1 street Chally at our local track that is making well over 600HP with a blower and headers, cam, heads. He has 9 PSI pullys. 550 HP - lowball estimate IMO.

I read somewhere that guys are using straps instead of tabs to mount tanks cause the tabs can cause the tank wall to crack when things flex. Not sure if it is now a drag tech rule or not. I am re-using my tabbed alum tank in the Demon build, screw 'em. I love the way the outside of your shop...

That is a basic LAW of mancaves. I have 5 airplane hangars - full of crap. 2 used to be rented out for airplanes and after the tenents left I got into this hobby and now 2 are full of A body junk.

Did you talk with Kenny at PTC at all about this car? He showed me a pic of his SB Mopar with a belt driver blower - I think it was a procharger but not sure. He is a Mopar man and his shop is more a race car shop than a converter/tranny shop. I was like a kid in a candy store when I dropped...

<I would try to tie the cage into the roll bar inside the car and add a plate on the firewall also where it passes through.> That is the plan. Still chewing on the Badart rad support too. May not do that now though as this may be the last outdoor painting weekend this winter unless algore is...

Yeah, I was marveling at that car last summer - shifts while in the air! As light as my front end is and judging from the lack of engine mounts which are replaced with the motor plate mounts (means a healthy big block, the hood scoop was a pro mod type) and nitrous bottle mount, I am surprised...

The lifters MRL is selling now have a slightly different groove shape on the main body. Otherwise look very similar. What timing gear/chain set is that? Just saying about what I thought I saw on the valve spring. Might just be the photo. You do not seem to be the kind of guy who cuts...

Not wanting to be the bearer of bad news but is that rust I see on that valve spring? I have read / seen somewhere that you should only handle springs when wearing cotton gloves to keep the acid from your skin off them. Hope they will be OK. Why did you need a spacer between the timing gear...

I asked Mike at MRL about what CR I would need to put it on my stroker and it was about 8-1 with pump gas. I will stick with the 416 and that Lunati solid roller cam he likes. Huge torque down low while still revving when desired. Woot!! I am basically converting my 10-1 416 to this motor...

I saw the blower on Ebay also. How much did it end up going for? It was a slick looking unit. A guy at Fall Fling last year had one for sale with Ported w-2 heads. Impressive but I didn't even ask how much he wanted for the setup as I was visiting from out of town and had no way to really...

Are you that Tim guy who was trying to sell that replacement for displacement stroked Dart? The vids showed it to be one E ticket ride.

There was a car at Fall Fling with one of those. There was some discussion about the carb and who built it for a blow through application but I didn't stick around long enough to get the gist of it.

That stripe looks pretty cool. I like the rear spoiler. My car has a homemade one that is similar. I think it makes the rear of the FB look mo better. Sorry 'bout the jack. Can't wait to see this one done.
