“cheaper aftermarket block” - And we know how that is achieved.

I salivate over that Ritter block. Really nice piece but what’s wrong with it that it needs competition in what is probably a really tiny market place for high HP capable SBM blocks? The cost?

Im pretty sure this guy IS the Speedmaster head and intake manufacturer in CN.

I’m intrigued to see how this plays out. The name suddenly appearing on this VB just doesn’t accidentally happen. The drawing would have to be updated before sent to the CNC or someone took an existing VB plate and machined the name in to it. Something seems off about this story but the reality...

It's big down here in S. Florida. Street Takeovers they call them. All the burned up Hellcats, ScatPak Chargers, etc. are creating a nice supply of gen3 hemis and hemi parts in the local market also...probably driving the theft of same cars as well :)

Food for thought. I built my 5.9 with stock crank, Wiseco forged 10.5:1 pistons and forged rods. EQ heads (no longer available) up top and a 7875 turbo that I’ve pushed to 12psi plenty of times without issue. 3500 stall also. This was really budget conscious.

usbody.com They make hoods, fenders and valances. I have their race weight hood on my 65.

The sale description in the video only mentions the property and building.

On the flip side, Immokalee put a lot of money into their track last year to renovate it including all new concrete.

The racetrack is being torn down by Atlanta-based Portman Industrial LLC to make way for 2 million square feet of warehouses. Portman bought the track from its New York owner in 2021.

295/55/15 on a 15x10 rim with 5” backspace. Section width is about 12” even.

Tory does amazing work. I reached out to him a while back about a front suspension for my early A but it seems he’s really backed up with work. Did he build the upper A arms also?

Look for "mini fuel tank sump" on eBay. They are about $25.00 "mtltek" is the name of the vendor. And yes I bought a new tank for mine. Had a buddy weld it. There is another pic in my build thread. Ebay GT45 + 5.9 Magnum + E85 blow thru

This looks like his car at the beginning of this video: And this one:

I finally tickled the 10s (equivalent) in the 1/8 mile. Best ET two weeks ago with a 6.90@105MPH and a horrible 60'. Super budget turbo build: -65 Valiant at about 3200lbs race weight. -Stock bottom 5.9 Magnum, EQ heads, Victor Jr, Fitech 1200 running E85. Single 69mm eBay turbo at 10psi, 727...

This is a smaller sump for like an import vehicle, bought off eBay. Fairly inexpensive as I recall. Has 1/2" NPT fittings. I used a stock 1/2" fuel pickup for my return line.

When I first turbo'd mine with an E85 blow thru carb i ran an inline Walbro 255, Aeromotive FPR with the lite spring for low pressure and a 1/2" feed and return. The Walbro 392 is inexpensive and E85 proof I believe.

Most of the aftermarket pistons advertise the same wrist pin size for both 360 LA and 5.9 Magnum

My build is pretty similar to Walker434's. Stock bottom end JY 5.9, basic rebuild with new rings, bearings, etc. Normally aspirated I spun it to 6500 on multiple occasions. EQ heads, regrind cam and factory rocker hardware and lifters. Same motor is turbo charged now and I try to keep it under...

Very close race I caught at PBIR last Friday. Duster vs Dart. Both are low 10 sec cars.

Does anybody here run at Palm Beach International? I'm thinking about trailering mine up there this weekend for a TNT event. I see that they now require engine diapers on 10.99 and faster cars. I wonder how strict they are about that rule for a TNT event? Palm Beach International Raceway - IHRA...

I see where you tried a bigger pump already and that your fuel pressure is stable at RPM. I got nothing else. Wideband.

Are you getting enough fuel to it? I ran E85 briefly NA on a converted 750 carb and upgraded everything to deliver the additional 30% more fuel E85 required. I assume alcohol is even more. 1/2" feed and return, 255lph fuel pump, FI rated regulator. Can you put a wideband O2 on it? That would...

Around 1:40 I see you guys in the caravan.

I watched the live feed off and on today. Lots of fast cars. Saw deucemopar run twice, low 11s. Saw a really fast NA demon run in the 9s, a Duster, big C body and a handful of other Mopars. Nice to see the variety.

I have manual, bolt-on cap type cut-outs. I was seriously thinking about going the electric route to make it easier to open them up when at the track (I like to stay quiet on the street), but the last time I drove my car to TnT, I had to put the drag radials on and remove the street tires...

Do you have enough RPM with that gear for the 1/4? At 8s in the 1/8th I think mid 12s is possible in the 1/4. Good luck, have fun, be safe!

A/F numbers I'm following for tuning my home built E85 carb. e85 tuning AFR - Yellow Bullet Forums Interested to see what others recommend for plugs. I'm still zeroing in on my tune.

That was a great run and an excellent 60'! What distributor/ignition and timing are you running? Ended up at 38* total on my HEI and a narrow jet spread (68/73) on my 770 street avenger carb. My MPH is around 89 with an almost identical build as yours. JY 5.9. I tune mine with a Wideband. Takes...
