value of (almost rolling) chassis BO29
So tell me a little about them and which one is the fastest.
The first one was a true clone in appearance. The engine was put together with old parts acquired from a local S/S racer. It had the "K"alum. heads, a lightened block & old school 2-ring piston set-up, a solid lifter cam. in front of a manually shifter 727 with a 4000 stall converter running back to a 8 3/4 rear, S/S springs. The frame was ties together & it had a 6-point rollbar. That car got sold to a person in Missouri then later to someone in Conneticutt.
The second car was a "big-tire" car, tubbed, 9in Ford rear, 4-link, frame tied & a 12-point cage. Front suspension was a home-made R&P set-up that was a nightmare. The engine was a 528 cu.in Ray Barton motor much like a mid '70s S/S motor. That car went to Alberta, Canada.
My current car is posted on here somewhere. It's a combo of the two--- mini-tubbed, 9in Ford with 4:30 gears & M/W axles, 12-point 'cage,stock front-end, 4-wheel disc brakes, 727 ATI trans with brake & 4500stall converter, Ray Barton 528, alum headed Hemi with 13:1 pistons, solid lifter cam & a later Mopar x-ram. It's kind of a cross between a '60s S/S (body & chassis) & a mid '70s S/S (engine & trans) car. Which one is/was faster? My current car. While the second was more trick, it was nowhere near as reliable or consistent.
The pics of my current car are in "Post Pics of Your Dart" thread.
