Nope, gotta work during the day then my kid is racing his quarter midget sat night. Good luck though!!!

Finally get to post here. Had my hemi car out for the first time in 10 years with the new engine combo. I think it has a little left but for a first outing it went well. 11.1 548 hemi with edelbrock heads. This car was built to be a pump gas street car. Full build link Not so much a clone...

Well it turned out to be a good weekend. Got to make 3 time trial hits Thursday. Car started off in the 9.90’s, so I started leaning the carbs. By Saturday it was in the 9.80’s in the heat and humidity pretty sure it would have went 9.70’s Sunday (better air) but I was told I couldn’t dial...

Finally got the cruise tune up happy… Tired of talking about what it should run, let’s find out!!

Gear change done, went from a 4.56 to a 4.10. What a *****, probably my lack of rearend experience. It’s quiet going down the road though so I’ll call it a win. Also been fighting distribution on the intake. Seems to puddle. Went down to a 1.56 Venturi from a 1.610. We will see if that helps. If...

Your tuning approach looks good. Those 450’s I believe flow even less then what they are rated at. IMO those are a bit small for a 440. I think a 600-650 range carb would be more appropriate. 750’s could be a tad on the large size given the combo is very mild. I personally like to keep the MAB...

First time I’ve had my Dart out in about 10 years. Glad I made the effort to take it up there. What an awesome event! I even picked up a favorite car award!! Some great footage of the event, this is my friends channel. He’s a fellow mopar guy and posts lots of content so check him out.

First outting with the Dart in 10 years! Wish my dad would have been around to see it. Took the car up to the Donut cutter on Woodward. Wednesday before the Dream Cruise is a mopar show. Been wanting to do this for a few years. Between the car and the back story they picked my car for the...

Certainly a man’s car! When I had a 4 speed in mine with a heavy clutch and a vertigate it was pretty wild to drive. Car looks great brother!! You’ll enjoy the hell out of it.

Just a vent. They don’t need to be hooked to anything. Pretty much any other breather needs a baffle.

I used these, the way they are made doesn’t require a baffle.

Hmm :realcrazy:

Having one of these cars myself I would highly recommend putting the master cylinder on rubber lines so it can be easily flipped out of the way.

It’s alive and it’s got stupid power!

Beautiful!!

Heading the correct direction! Also came across this video, my dart makes a cameo in here beating up on a late 70’s Camaro at the 47 sec mark.

Been a rough week. Spent a week watching someone close die over Christmas weekend and then caught Covid this weekend. Wife banned me from roaming the house so I pretty much finished the hemi for therapy reasons over the last 2 days (not really feeling sick after the first 3 days of this...

These transmissions are old and abused. It may have already been damaged but not visible. I always have all the parts mag checked for cracks.

10pm I decided to drag my *** off the couch to knock pistons in. 11pm I have a short block and a cold beer!

Face plated hemi box would probably be the hot ticket for a 340. Should live ok as that little engine shouldn’t really stress out a properly built trans. Big Torque and traction will kill them, this one was behind my 500ci hemi and even had a Hyatt built soft loc. it was fun for a few passes.. I...

Worked on it off and on today. Got the crank in, Disassembled the pistons and rods, cleaned everything up and put them back together. The C clips on the CP pistons are a *****. Gapped the top rings. 2nd ring is bigger than I wanted out of the box. Debating on this one.

External oil supply to the pump. Typically used high rpm applications or for stroker kits if they interfere with the internal pickup. Very common on Hemi’s. I run 2 supply lines on mine. They are hooked to a swinging pickup in the pan that will follow the oil movement on acceleration and...

One thing I should add to the thread as I did some intake work that really helped out the drivability and distribution on the bigger cube engine. Idle quality greatly improved. I believe it’s faster as well but I changed a few things so I can’t quantify a number.

Complete build roadrunner 8.4

Being a hemi i would expect the power to peak somewhere at least in the mid to high 6k range. Dyno sheet looks like it was still going as well.

What are you running for a cam? Curious why you cut it off at such a low rpm.

Actually I’m off so I probably could have it close by the weekend but I think the wife has other plans.. lol You hammered on yours yet? Thing has to be a rocket!

Well, had the balance checked on the new crank. It was off. 20 grams on the front and 30 on the rear. It’s dialed in now and ready to go. Going to try and get it back together and in the car in a reasonable time frame.

For what? I’ve driven stock 318’s a lot of miles. They’re good engines. Just a small bore 340 with anemic factory breathing. Once I start buying aftermarket parts though things need to make sense. Bore size is to important to overlook when you start bolting on good flowing heads. Kind of the...
