Not in this series, unfortunately.

It ran pretty much 92mph each pass.

It’s got some old coilovers on the rear now. Thinking about getting some QA1s. I’ll check out Caltracs as well

Took the ‘69 Dart with a 440/493 stroker out to Willow Springs this past weekend. Did surprisingly well with the street tires. Ran an 11.64 in the 1000’ with a healthy amount of spinning. Got any suggestions on how I can squeeze more out while limited to a 275/60R15 tire? Below are videos to...

Finally raced without any breakdowns!

I know. There were many issues going on in that 383. I really hope he can get it fine tuned for Duct Tape Drags as I’m itching to race him with the turbo.

Here it is!

Some photos from race day

Didn’t get to post this before the race but, I recorded a quick video on swapping the Dart’s 10” drums for 11” disc brakes via the Pirate Jack disc brake kit. Thankfully, this didn’t go against the budget. Would’ve cost 2500-3000 for a shop to do it here in San Diego. I completed this for about...

Let’s just say I drove the Dart to work today so, it left the track still running lol. Still editing the video footage. Both Jonny and I expect to have our videos ready by this weekend . I’ll definitely post the link on this thread.

Getting down to the last minute!

Good catch and thanks for the heads up. I must’ve read that wrong somewhere. I’ve never had the pleasure of working with the R/T heads.

It looks like a crack in the photo but, it’s actually carbon build up. My flashlight caused it to have a slight shadow making it look like a crack. I do have a cracked head though. Depending on how this 318 is running after the race, I may swap the heads.

Worked over the heads some to squeeze a few extra ponies. At no surprise, my early magnum heads were cracked. Not like that’s going to stop me though

We race this Friday. Movin fast to get the Dart back together.

Sure is! I’m originally from Skagit county.

Project Update! https://youtube.com/shorts/598ydcD6Ppw?feature=share

Thanks! It’s crazy how different the experience is with my daughter than it was with my boy. It’s only a matter of time before she’s in the garage as well! Lol

Hey gang, So I combed through an electronic version of the 2022 NHRA rule book and I see that convertibles running faster than 13.49 in the 1/4 (8.25 in 1/8) are required to have a roll cage. It then goes to explain that the roll cage must meet Summit Street specs. Does anyone know where I can...

Thanks man! Took awhile to edit that one. Really looking forward to filming the engine assembly and startup video.

That old gas smell is something else

Anyone here ever use the Pine-Sol trick? https://youtu.be/AdifBmNVUoQ

Nitrous is definitely the easiest go-to option. The kicker with this particular competition is that there’s a 200 shot limit. There’s no limit on boost. I can build boost at the starting line and have it ready for the green light. 12lbs should put me in the 600hp range

Alright, I’ve finally decided on the power adder. I’ve always wanted to do this. The 318 is getting boosted with an eBay turbo in a draw through configuration.

So this 318 does have the LA oil passage. The block number indicates magnum however.

Our official start date was April 1st. We wanted to focus on MATS in March.
