Welp, I blowed up!

[bobtile]

you need to get yourself a fail-safe trans mount and not use that type of old school piece a crap.

That went in when I built the car for cruise nights about 6 years ago. It just got overlooked when I went racing. It won't happen again.

 

[hangn0ut]

Yeah! In a blaze of glory! And won the championship! Couldnt ask for more. Thats getting the most out of it. I'd hang a piston and rod on the shop wall in rememberance. And maybe hold a little service,have a cold one for the remains. And I dont drink.

 

[bobtile]

I don't want to jinx myself, but I got something in the works that may have me become an a-body guy!

 

[67cudafb]

I don't think that'll buff out...

Maybe right

 

[bobtile]

Big news on the way

Well, winter is here so down time is going to be long and painful.

Sorry to hear. Hope the rebuild goes smoothly.

Perfect timing, the new TFS 240 cc heads are available now.

Nope, stealth heads.

New car looks great

 

[draginmopars]

No, actually. The valve broke off at the head. The keepers were still in the stem.

Had that happen once
engine had a miss
didn't do much damage
just stuffed its self in the exhaust port

Yup, looks blowed up to me too... pictures suitable for framing It's always less painful when there's a great victory story to go with it. Good job, congratulations on the championship.

WOW! that cuda looks great!!!

Hate to sell the GTX. But I need to pay for the new one. It would cost too much to get the GTX to where I want to be at the track. I don't have the heart to cut into it anyway.

nice

What do you know about it? I know Im not comfortable with it. Any info you have will be helpful. Thanks

You just had posted about the steering. Now its gone?????

 

[cuda20]

Great looking cuda. Do you have any numbers on what it runs. Any more details on the motor and trans.

It's a pretty mild build.
Stock stroke 440 .040
Indy 295 heads
Cam is flat tappet .266@ .050 .600 lift
11.5 comp.

I made 1 pass and it shook badly when I hit the brakes.
Needs a new rack.
Car went 10.11 @ 129.74
Should go 9's

 

[bOb shingler]

when it wobbles when you hit the brakes you should consider have the rotors turned first.

Don't think a sleeve will hold in that block?
