This probably belongs over in the Parts wanted section but I hope our Administrator will let us park it here for a few days.......

We need a 440 dual plane aluminum intake for our High School Racer in training, he won the High School Track Championship last year but he was killing his little 318 Dakota. So this winter we found a 78 440 Pick-up, Dana 60, 4.10 gear, Posi, Factory 440/727 and we gave it to him so he's working on it.

All the FBO Race Team has donated a ton of stuff to this kids project already..Ignition, new Speed Demon, 3000 stall Dynamic convertor, Moroso Water Pump, Ported Fuel Pump, Al radiator...and the list goes on...we just don't have a manifold for him.

This Kid was failing in school and in society, since we got him drag racing his grades have gone from red lights and breakouts to 3.0 average, hasn't seen a cop at his door in over a year, passed his monthly Pi$$ tests with flying colors for over a year. He's a good kid and just needed some guidence and something other than a street gang to look up to.

He's working hard but his car insurance is over a $2k a year and with school and studying he can only work part time, he just makes enough for his racing expenses and insurance on his daily driver Dakota.

If anyone has a old 440 dual plane sitting around that you'd part with for UNDER $100 I'll PayPal the cash to you or send an FBO Check and my UPS account info to ship it.

The season is just a couple of weeks away and we need to get this project finished up for him and get him to the track.

Email me at tech@4secondsflat.com if you can help out with this project.
 
I've got a performer 440 . I will take it to vegas with me.

See you there!!
 
Sound's like you have him on the wright side of the road,and sound's like a talented young man. :thumblef: 3.0 that's grate.wish I could help.maybe anotherday. You guy's keep on keeping on.take care or your driver. :book:
 
I'll do better then let you park it here for a while. I'll stick it here too. :thumblef:
 
Anything else needed for the car? I don't have nothin but a set of 452 heads, but ya never know who has what or what pops up to donate.
Make a list.
 
:drinkers: I think a New napa battery by choice. :idea1:
And you now you will need a back up battery, :thumblef:
 
Sorry I don't have any big block parts I can help out with, but I'd sure like to commend you for helping this young guy find the straight and narrow way through life. :notworth: A lot of these young people just need some kind of constructive goal to help them along, and something like racing gives them some focus and direction. The wife and I sponsor and play on a slow pitch ball team and each year we try to find at least one or two young folks that are sort of out of step with society and get them involved. It's amazing how some of these kids respond to people showing a little interest in them and helping them along with a little praise when they do well, and a good verbal boot in the butt when they need that. I wish this young man well in both his drag racing endeavours and his path through life. :thumblef:
 
Hey boss,

If you need i got a set of 440 heads sitting in my living room if you want them. Not sure what the casting numbers are, i can go look if you want them.
