Appears to be a late model without taking the hood off yet.

I will get on that immediately. Thanks!

Need a passenger side hood hinge for a 1972 Dart. Much appreciated!

We do every year. This will be the first year with the new motor. See you there.

What backspacing are you running on the rear?

Today she made her maiden voyage. Cam broke in, a few pulls to break the rings in and away we go. Pretty weak burnout, but I didn't want to push her too hard yet.

Given altitude of 6,000 ft (Denver) and my specs of 408 Ohio Crankshaft forged internals, H-rods, JE pistons 12.2:1 compression, custom solid FT 248/255 106lsa, Air-Gap intake, Holley XP 950 running E85 with the new Trick Flow Power Port 190 heads, where would you put timing? We have it at 36...

Besides the Ford Contour option, does any vendor sell a turn key electric fan option for a stock type 22" radiator (KKS 3-row aluminum)? Running a 408 550hp in a 72 Swinger. All the options I have found on here seem to all be custom one offs. I need a new shroud and I figured a new electric fan...

Almost done. Painted her today factory 72 blue.

Appreciate it. I doubt my car will ever run in lower elevation, but if it does, I will make sure to tune appropriately.

Thanks. The idea is to drive the crap out of it on the street. The idea was to bring torque on early with shift point around 6,500.

Trans is a standard 727 with a kit, Hughes 10" 3500 stall, gear is a 3.55, quench is .039 compressed, they are Fel-Pros (my builder said these were still good at 12.2:1), block was zero decked.

I know you are just giving feedback, but the cam was ground by Scott Main who has won engine masters a couple times and has 6 NHRA national records. I trust him. He knew all my spring data before he made the cam, so not sure where those numbers came from honestly. The springs are rated up to...
