Lets build an engine for my dart. Heres the rules. 91 pump gas. 360 factory block. MSD Digital 7+ 6-71 roots supercharger. I want as wild as we can get while still being able to drive to breakfast on Sunday with the women. Edit- the car currently has a built 904, 3,800 stall, Ford 9" with...

Im thinking about buying a new ignition box for the blown small block build and want some imput on the fancy new boxes out there. I like the fact that the 7 has boost retard bit that about all i would know how to use on it. For a boosted application do you think its worth stepping up from my...

Hey folks. Im looking for pics of aluminum motor plates mounted, attached to the J bars, frame or both? How do folks do it?

What are your thoughts on adding the 4 bolt caps to my small block blower build? 7-10 pounds of boost, hopefully making right around 600 HP at the crank. Some say it removes strength in an already weak area some say it helps. I dont plan on turning much over 6,000 RPM. thoughts?

I hardly ever drive my car now so why now burn 100 bucks to drive my girl around? Do i drink the koolaid and just go blown injected? Or do i stop now and stay sane with the blown pump gas mil...

It begins! @Coyote Jack I'm ready to order the blower kit and need some advice on what pulleys to get. I'm going with the Dyers street/strip kit if that makes a difference? 8mill belt or 1/2" tooth? 2 or 3" belt? I'd like a pulley combo that is close in tooth count so I can start out with...

I'm looking for some forged pistons that will put me at 8-1 or so. Any ideas? Valve pockets would be nice and a lowered top ring is ideal. My plans are 10-15 pounds of boost with some N2o. Now this is a cheep build so we can't go crazy with full custom pistons I know its gonna let go but...

Anyone use these? Carburetor Fuel Bowls - Quick-Change Jet Provisions I like the idea but wonder about how well it actually works? Seems like the jets would just fall into the bowl and I'd ha e to remove the bowl anyway? Seeing as the jets are non magnetic what keeps them from just falling...

Looks like I'm about to get my *** handed to me. My car ain't ready to track so we gonna meet up and run at a certain spot. My dart race car vs his ford bronco. My 4.88 dot drag radials & spool vs his mud terrains with 3.50 and locker. My gutted car against his full weight. His almost 700 HP...

I went to park on a hill yesterday and I wasn't fully ingaugeing the parking gear. Today I adjusted the cable and realized I have a dumb question. With the B&M pro ratchet shifter is neutral a lock out gear or just reverse and park? It seems like N should require me to flip the lever but I...

When I'm actually "running" the car hard I'm not watching the gauges at all. So I figured let's see what most folks watch while driving. I moved the water temp up to the A pillar where I can see it easy. That one is a no brainer. What would your second most watched gauge be? My thought was...

Thank you for talking to me on my trans rebuild. I know we all talk a lot of BS but j par is a nice guy. Thanks man!

Was driving by the local junk yard and figured I'd stop and look for some Hemi Dart window regulators. Well they didn't have any Hemi Darts but they did have the regulators. I had to look for a bit to find a set in black because when your building a high dollar concours car like mine it has to...

My girl said I needed to buy a nice shirt for dinner with her folks, so I spent a lot of money on a new shirt..... :rofl: The shirt cost 925 bucks plus shipping but it did come with a free 9.5 inch 3,800 RPM stall converter. so I think it counts as a nice shirt? :thumbsup:

I'm just about to order the lexan to get rid of the glass in my dart. The guy who sells it mentioned I may wanna call CHP and see if it legal to run on the street. Called CHP and it is definitely NOT legal on the street. So anyone run lexan on the street in California? Have you ever been...

I'm in need of all new rubber and have realised that I cant afford the tires I'm running. I need/want DOT rubber but I'm not apposed to non DOT. my Hoosier 295X65X15 DOT drag radials lasted about three months. At 250 each that's just not in my budget. Granted I'm running a spool but dont...

I hate separating the transmission and engine so I decided to make my life easier and make an access hole for the bolts. At the same time I rerouted my shift cable. Still got some holes in the fire wall to fix but I'm leaning towards just making a smooth fire wall next time the engine comes...

I have a chance to do a labor trade for my trans builder and I'm gonna take it. Total cost should be @ 3 grand. So I'm thinking new trans time for the 360 dart. RMVB and trans break about a grand right? Converter also about a grand. Then some parts and labor should put me and him just...

Was bored today so I went and picked up the race car for some fun. Went out just driving around and killing time. Stopped at a red light with an open lane next to me and I see a bright orange 392 challenger in my rearview. He pulls up to the line and said something (I cant hear squat with the...

Not sure where to put this but I figured maybe some other guys with race cars are in this boat? I'm thinking about removing my cowell vents and wiper holes as they leak water into the car. (No heater or wipers) Any one do something like this? Will it look super weird? I can make the panel on...

Just got a text from a friend who was out racing, he had some engine trouble resulting in a fire and no fire system. Turning this beauty work of automotive engineering into complete junk. Why he didn't have a fire system I cant say, it's not like he couldn't afford one. I've been putting off...

Called a few places about getting the dart aligned. First place said they wont put it on their rack cuz the headers hang down to low. Second place has a pit but wont give an estimate on a car that old. They said the price is what it is..... I'm looking at spending about 150 on a cheep gauge...

Took the race car to pick up breakfast for me and the women. Rolled out of the parking lot and got deep into the throttle. The car went straight and was moving out good. Pull into the drive way and walk to the rear of the car to shut off the battery. Right away I realise something is really...

Alignment is meh... Turning radius is crap. AFR is dead lean.. (not good) And shes leaving a big oil stain in the drive way... but she did drive!! 2 or 3 months on the rack and finaly "done".... Disks all around, new 9", 4.88 rear, custom drive shaft, mini tub, springs under the frame, drag...

Just about ready to finish the 9" install. Got a few questions. Pinion angle. This is a street strip car running 4.88 rear, drag radials and 02 03 SS springs. More street than strip tho. Should I go full 6/7 degrees negative or should I tame it down to more like -5? With my spring sliders...

Got my axles today. Man they are nice. Those folks did a great gob at a great price. After looking at the cost. It was cheaper to just have them made custom than buy cheep ones from summit. Total cost was about 70 bucks more to have them made but I got, bearings (installed), access hole, studs...

I'm starting building new frame connectors and a drive shaft hoop. I'd like to see pics of how you folks did yours. My old frame connectors were less than stellar, I welded them outside in the wind with the car on jackstans. So the welds weren't the best. My new set is 1 3/4 .120 wall tube...

I've got some down time while I wait for my custom axles so I figured I'd wrap up some loose ends on the car. I already had most of the aluminum interior out to do the mini tubs. My cage was starting to get kinda rusty so I decided to paint it. I used rustiolem "hammertone" silver brush on...

Got my SFI pads and DAM that stuff is like PVC! I get it, its ment to be hit with a helmet but I also want to drive this car on the street and i don't want my head impacting that hard plastic. I'm wondering what you folks use on a street strip car? Also I dont see any way to bend that pad...

Mounted the new front runners on my new wheels. Slapped the combo on the new disk breaks and the lug nuts just seem wrong.. no shoulder and short.... Called JEGS and turns out the dang wheels I bought are NOT SFI approved... No wonder the lug nuts dont work..... F#ck my life... no wonder they...
