For those that have Kirkey seats in their A body - how did you mount it to the floor safely? I know I'm not going to merely bolt it to the floor. Any fastener will have some sort of support plate under it to prevent tearing through the floor in the event of a crash. I have the #55170 seat and...

OK for the street/strip guys - do you have a parking brake? I'm starting to get my car back together and am leaning towards leaving it out. #1, it's dead weight. #2, it's extra clutter and #3, see #1. I figure it would be one of the first things gone in a dedicated race car but a street machine...

At some point in the near future, I am going to go through my 416 that has been sitting for a few years and make sure everything inside looks OK. The heads are coming off to make sure whatever I can't see from the outside is still hunky-dory. Whatever the result of the inspection is I'm going to...

I have been agonizing over where to put a trunk-mounted battery disconnect switch that gets actuated by a remote lever. Previously, the switch was under the rear bumper on a piece of angle bolted to the rear frame but I switched exhaust and it can't live there anymore. I'd like for it to be...

Not sure how many here knew him or knew who he was but Monte Smith passed away the other day. He was a brilliant guy when it came to nitrous and drag racing in general. I believe he was a Mopar guy at heart but his knowledge and experience transcended any one brand. He posted often on Moparts...

So here's the deal - I have this orange Duster that I want to get down the track in the worst way. While that's not a problem in itself, said track is approximately 80 miles from my house one way. I don't have a trailer of any sort. My car has a forward pattern manual valve body 904, 3,500 +...

Anyone run 13 seconds with a stock 318 short block? Pistons are notoriously low in the hole, like .060" down... I'm thinking if I can build the chassis a little better than the engine, like Caltrac suspension, low gear 904, (have gears) 4.10 gears, (have gears) lighten/stiffen car (removed...

Just doing a little internet bench racing here. I'm sorting out a 340 on paper using the old "How To Hot Rod Small Block Mopars" tables in the back of the book. I want to get into the 12's. The tables are basically saying use a TQ or Holley 7-850, headers, (duh) Holley Strip Dominator/M1, the MP...

Let's see 'em. Past, present or future.:burnout:

Realizing there's plenty of forums that cover this type of subject, I thought I'd take a stab at it here. I'm real interested in stock-class drag racing. My interest was really piqued recently by an Ebay auction for a Stock Eliminator Demon that's still going on right now. It's a killer looking...
