How my fish became a drag car...

As you know, a drag racer never can go fast enough. So Dave made some improvemnts to the B3 to push the car down into the low nines. Not an easy thing to do on 28 x 10.5 tires.

So the 5th phase of the build goes like this:

The stock brakes were replaced with a set of Aerospace disc brakes on all four corners - Better stopping & less weight
Stock K member and front suspension replaced with tubular members - Less weight and stronger
Rear springs replaced with Cal tracs mono spring & traction bars
Calvert racing shocks in the front, Strange Double adjustables in the rear
New Centerline Convo Pro Wheels front & rear
Step up from MSD 6 to MSD 7 Digetal Programable Ignition
And finally the motor was replaced with a 440 stroked to 500, with Indy heads and all kinds of go fast parts - About 750 HP

All the racing Dave did with the car after these changes was 1/8 mile - Best result was 6.119 ET with 1.36 60 foot times. Mid to low nines are in reach.
