spending 100k to restore my aar...LOL... talk about BS...
Ok..Mr. Super Stock...I never said the car did not run 9s...I never found it listed in the qualifying sheets showing 9s......you said Southern Nationals...I looked and it shows it running 10.40s...
I also see he lost in the first round...by running something in the 11s...
hey...i know of a B/ED with a 301 small mopar that runs low 7s....in Comp Eliminator...
He pulled the engine right out of the junk yard...bolted into the dragster...and Wow..7s.,.,..or maybe he spend about 25k on the engine...take a guess...
I am impressed with Dennis Stewart's daytona...but just dont blow smoke up everyone *** that it is a pretty simple or stock engine...

Great you stated a fact. are you aware of the 4 cyl imports and even some of the old 2.2 mopars running in the 8's and even 7's and snowmobiles running 9's, even near stock new Mustangs, Challengers ect.. running 11's with a warranty, Thanks for pointing out to us how a raced prepped V8 in a 2500lbs race prepped car can run high 9's :tard:
c'mon fellas, let's be civil about it. 9's and 10's with a stock bore and stroke 318 is impressive whether it's record-breaking or not. We all know of other cars with bib blocks and all kind of wiz-bang stuff that you'd think would be a bonafide runner and it's an 11 second ride. Now don't get me wrong, 11 sec is fast for a STREET CAR for for a track only ride... not so much... I don't know the guy or have a dog in the fight but 9/10's IMO in a 318 is moving pretty good...

Nothing to see Here!
I am telling you he is trying to work his way back in and RIP OFF some more members.
There were a whole group of guys that would be victims if givin the chance in chat the other night who would think he is a guru when in fact he is not. The guys were new to the engine game and for sure could be lured to the slaughter like I was. So if I see him posting I am going to speak up.
Thread gone crazy again..................

I'm a 318 fan from the word go, but some of the claims in this thread are truly difficult to believe. I'm not saying anyone is lying, I'm simply saying that I haven't experienced such performance from that intrepid little V8 without power adders of some type.
I'm just amazed at how the replies are all wacky.
The bottom line is, a guy built A 318 and went quick in a light car.Nothng more, nothng less. But yet, everyone is getting nutty and adding 2 cents in on it as if this were ment to put one on somebody and trick them into wasting money.
I think only a true idiot or gullable/to new to be walking person would believe this could be done for cheap.
Posting up "Well a bigger engine can do it easier, cheaper, faster"... is just bologna posting and poking. This fact of bigger is easier, cheper and faster is the no brainer that should not even be repeated for it's a known. Unless your just born.
All that kind of porting just makes a shity thread and looks ill from the posters IMO.
But drone on they will.

Well I know I'm gonna do a 318 at some point in time for somethin....hell if i know what and I suspect it will be warm enough to run 13s with a single carb in a 3K pound car. Just some fun on da screet mah, yo. Nah gimmie dem quenny koos and shut da hell on up in here, yo.

That, I believe, was the only real issue with this thread, and the basis for some of the comments. :study:
It was made to sound like it was easy and could be done with the old 318 block & heads that are sitting out in the side yard collecting rust.:^o
And some were trying to pass it on as ''they cost the same when get to this power level''.:^o
Still is a cool thing to run this fast, but it's just short of rocket science/brain surgery to it if you read whats been done and is allowed in this class.
It would cost you around a grand at least just for the intake work....
But still cool.
You could build a 410-420" SB for about 10-15K that would push that car to the same et/mph that 30-40K, purpose built, inside the confines of NHRA SS rules runs.
An IRL engine could do it too. Pick your parts and spend your money, plenty of ways to get to a goal.

did that Daytona come from the factory with wheelie bars? and 14 x 32 slicks....
I can not make out the class on the window...I can see the GT/?A....
