70 dart swinger slant turbo build and mild restoration
Bill, I wonder if that's to the wheels or crank? If it's at the crank, the stock ones barely made less, which would imply a stock slant could run high 16/low 17?
Brandon, I think it must be at the wheels, because the stock slant six-powered A-bodies usually turned in the 18's, albeit, usually, low 18's, at about 75 mph.
We put a cobbled-up Hyper Pak assortment of parts on an aluminum 225 in a '62 Lancer one time just to see what it would do. It had a Hyper Pak cam and valve springs, a stock exhaust manifold (the Hyper Pak header would not fit because the car has a 904 T-Flite and the starter solenoid was in the way); a Hyper Pak 4bbl carb (Carter AFB) and long-runner Hyper Pak intake manifold. The head had been milled .100".
It ran 15.88 @ 89mph, with no mufffler (beat a '63 Ford Falcon Sprint, 4bbl 260 V8 with a 271hp solid lifter cam two car-lengths for the class trophy... The Ford owner was furious at having his V8, 4-speed Dual-exhaust equipped (cammed-up) car outrun, heads-up, by a 6-cylinder automatic "economy" car... LOL! This was for the Arkansas state Chanpionships at Carlisle, Arkansas in 1963.
Yeah, I been doing this a while... :banghead:
