What a cool build. I’m glad I found it today. Keep up the good work!

Makes sense. Lots of considerations. I’ll just enjoy watching FAST from afar. Keep up the good work.

I’ve always been curious what would be the best combo with a similar to FAST spirit. As in I have a 72. Run 68-70 manifolds. Then whatever year has best intake, whatever year has best carb, etc.. It’s not all year correct but is factory stuff and to the undiscerning, not noticeable. Of course...

Man. Sorry to hear that. It’s been one thing after another.

Just found this thread while out of town. Had my wife drive home some of the way so I had time to read the whole thread lol. What a cool story. Glad you went the route you did on this thing. Enjoy it!

They canceled test and tune tonight due to moisture.

Car running this year? Only reason I ask is cuz I’m going to flying H and thought it would be cool to see your car running lol.

I’ve raced at 2 tracks and never been called on no overflow. KCIR and heartland in Topeka. I’ll bring a bottle and zip ties just in case. I’m on street tires and steel wheels. I doubt I’ll get much flack.

I have emailed and sent them a Facebook message and so far no response.

I am going Wednesday the 15th. I will email them and see what they say.

Ok good to know. I’m guessing by now I’m probably 300ish hp. Never any wheel hop in any street action. Not sure if that will be changing on a prepped track. We will see.

Yeah would be cool but just not in the cards right now unfortunately.

Springs are less than 2 years old. I’m running the Espo set. I’ve never gotten wheel hop on the street. Have a pinion snubber if that helps at all.

Awesome good to know. Will it affect drivability since it’s a street cruiser?

Brand new track. Flying H in Odessa MO. Good idea. I will reach out to the track and see what they have to say. I don’t have an overflow, driveshaft loop, or open lugs. Thanks for the tips!

Excuse my ignorance, but is this supposed to help with weight transfer/traction? Can they easily be put back on?

Thanks guys. I will go over these items and make sure all is well. I assume I’ll be in the 14s. Would be tickled to flirt with 13s but I just don’t think it has it in it.

Thanks!

Haven’t had my car at the track since 2007. Back then it was basic rebuild 318 with 2.76 gears manifolds, and ran 15.2s. Zero traction issues. Today it’s still the 318 but with ported and bigger valve 302 heads and headers, same .480 lift cam, 2800 stall, and 3.92s. I imagine traction may be a...

Glad to hear it's running and you figured out the melting cam sensors. So what is the plan on preventing that in the future? Also totally wild that someone would put a tracker on your car!

Is it running well? Gotten any good passes since getting the latest issue out of the way?

I believe 1018 is October 2018. Prior owner bought them new, ran them once then dismounted and put them in finished basement. I’ve had them in my garage about a month, realized I’m probably not gonna have time to mess with my car anytime soon, so I’d rather send them out.

Have some M&H Racemaster drag radials up for grabs. 235/60R15. They were ran once on the track and gripped too much for his converter and gears. I bought them off him but am not going to get around to using them. Always stored inside. Super clean. Still have the nibs on them. Asking $325 obo...

LOL have you ran with the new tires yet?

Idles great and looking great, good luck!

I hear ya. Sometimes when I have multiple cars down I'll just cover the old one and do my best to forget it for a few weeks. Or months LOL. Good luck.

Good weekend in the Scamp. Got to see some good friends, hit a car show and cruise, and got to put some miles on the car. Also my car won it’s first trophy in my 18 years of ownership so that was cool. Local kids at the career center judged so I guess they appreciated something different. Black...

Car fired up and running. Lightly ported my intake. Didn’t go as far on the heads as others but did significant work and 3 angle valve job, plus having 1.88/1.60s in them. Headers. Car is an entirely different animal. Runs good and I’m pleased. Thanks for the input everyone.

Well here’s what I ended up doing: I bought some 302 heads that already had 1.88/1.60s in them. I spent about 18 hours porting them after watching videos, especially @MOPAROFFICIAL videos on porting 302s (thanks btw). I did not do quite as much as he did on the videos but I did as much as I was...

Finally got it fired up! Ran into some issues with manifold Fitment. I think these 302 heads may have been milled a little. We wallered (redneck word) out the holes a little and got it to bolt down and seal. Fired it up open headers. Man it was a blast. Did a quick tune and brought it out for...
