It'd just be for fun, and we'll be friends afterwards... LOL His 454 is a lower compression motor, with a mild cam, headers, and obviously a 4bbl. He'd like to run 12's with it, we'll see.
Would have loved to have seen video of That. there are many who spend alot of $$$ in a Summit catalog, put it all together and it don't run for anything...it makes them mad because they drained their bank account and still don't go fast... if you really know your wrenching, you can comb a junklyard and build a fast engine from used factory parts. you have to know what works with what.
Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end........ My middle brother and I spent countless hours searching for parts at the junk yards in the late 70's and 80's. I miss those days ! I need to get down to Reno, it's been 10 years since I've seen my brother.
He offered me to buy that 318. His price was reasonable, at least I thought, especially with the W2's and all. I know his ET, and that was a street car raced in street form.
If you knew his ET, you were one of a very few, he was a grudge racer as far as I knew. He even offered to come to Idaho for a match. lol
yes, I know exactly what he ran. I'll just say he took money from 10 second turbo-charged fox bodies...
Yea he was very confident with his stuff, that's for sure. He sold a bunch of his stuff a few years back, is he still racing ?
haven't heard hide or tail from him. Also, he didn't have the right converter behind the teen either. He only cut a 1.6 60 ft, which was bad for his ET. He was building a faster/bigger motor for the Duster. When he offered me his teen, I think he was doing a 360 or a stroker, can't remember.
I don't think my 318 will quite perform like his, especially with 2.76 gears! ....... Wonder why Summit won't ship!!!
I need to check and see if I even ordered them...... checked and I do have 3.23's and 2.76's.... which do you think would be better for the 318?
