I had a similar experience with a local builder in Oklahoma. The trans failed in under a mile. Removed it, he rebuilt in again. I got about 10 easy miles on it before it self destructed. I pulled it out, and he blamed it on me and refused to warranty it again. I took the trans apart and built...

I am wanting to put a button on my steering wheel to control the launch Rev limiter on my Sniper EFI. My Dart is a full interior streetcar that sees the track a few times a year. I have a factory Tuff wheel in my car and I would prefer not to damage it by drilling holes. It's looking like that...

I bought two 255/60 15 ET street SS tires this week at my local speed shop. I was pretty happy to find out that there was a $50 rebate! They ended up being cheaper than a pair of BFG's that I was going to put back on the car.

My 70 dart weighed 3310 without driver. I had a 360 magnum, 2.02/1.60 EQ heads, 218 @.050 cam, 2800 stall, 3.55, 26×8.5 slick. I had the 625 carb tuned decently using an AFR gauge. I went 8.18@84MPH with a 1.8 60'. Went 12.88@104 in the 1/4. I made 3 passes and each got faster until I got...

My buddy has a powerglide with a big block mopar bell housing and converter. His is purple just like yours. I'll ask him what it is.

I've heard that ford retarded the cams in big blocks for emissions purposes or something. Maybe that's part of your problem?

Gotta build ANOTHER engine. That's the one. I still can't believe I timed it wrong. I got it right on the first combo with EQ heads. But swapped on the edelbrocks and bigger cam and even reused that timing set. But didn't pay attention and I'm paying for it now.

Stock magnum heads? My dad has a new. 512 lift comp cam that wouldn't work in his stock 5.9 rebuild with stock heads.

I called him about maybe regrinding that smaller 218/[email protected] cam to something that suits my 408 better. I told him I had a basically new 234/238°@.050 Hughes that I intended on running in my 360. He said that 234/238 was a bit big for the 360 but said it would be great in my 408 for a street/strip.

My dad was going to use that smaller cam in his truck, but plans changed and he decided to do something else. So now I'm kind of stuck with it. A regrind was what I planned since I needed new hardened pushrods for the edelbrock heads anyways.

So, I went to the strip and made 3 passes before getting run off for no helmet. I got hooked but that was the last race before the tracks shut down for winter. I should have left it alone and tuned/perfected that setup this coming season. However I had the edelbrocks sitting and got bored, so I...

I used a Hughes "steamroller" hydraulic roller in my last magnum build. I still have the cam on a shelf at home. It was a 10.5:1 360 with Hughes 2.02/1.60 EQ heads. The cam was a 218/[email protected] .539/.549 lift with the factory magnum 1.6 rockers. Car weighs 3304 without me, 727, 3.55 gears, pump...

Also, if anyone knows of or has info on the '69. I would like to know. It was supposedly raced quite a bit in California then brought here to Oklahoma in the 80's. The previous owner passed away in the early 90's and my friend bought it from his wife. She didn't know any previous history. The...

What color is your car? I'm sure those pics are edited some. But the blue looks great! I don't have a "racecar". But I do run mine down the 1320'! I'm helping a friend build his '69 dart that has been a drag car most of its life. It's a 340 4 speed car originally. But has been set up as a super...

I mentioned the Magnum mini starter to my friend. His engine builder said it wouldn't last with the 14:1 compression. Have you heard of it surviving with high compression? I have a few good spare mini starters laying around that I would like to test on his engine.

Why would he need to ask the Chevy boys? The powerglide will have a chrysler bellhousing and use a mopar starter. My friend is building an alcohol burning B1 headed 596ci. It's supposed to be around 14:1. He is using the power master 9513 starter.

One of my friends bought an old '69 dart drag car. It has seat belt window regulators on it. They work great!

I have 2 sets of magnum heads in my garage that are cracked. 1 set of them came off of my truck that had 350k miles on it. My grandpa bought the truck new and gave it to me in 2007, I daily drove it until 2013. It always ran great without any issues. 2nd set came off of a salvage yard engine my...

I've got a stock stroke 5.9 in my '70 dart. It weighed 3305 pounds without me on race day. It's a 5.9 .030 over KB107 pistons. Hughes EQ 2.02 heads, Hughes 218/222 @.050 .539/.549 lift hydraulic roller cam, RPM intake, street demon carb, stock mopar electronic distributor, 727 with a shift kit...

I have a street demon 625 on my 5.9 magnum. Im buying a 750 street demon from a member here to see if I pick up any power! I replaced an edelbrock and have had holleys in the past. I like the street demon.

It's so much easier to slide the headers in while the motor is out. So for me, I would do the headers now! A cam/spring change in the car isn't too hard. Headers in my 70 a body were a pain in the rear. I'm sure an early A is much worse.

I heard one of the large nitrous manufacturing plants caught fire and caused the shortage. Whatever nitrous could be produced was going to medical use. My neighbor ended up selling his stuff off and went turbo due to the high prices. The plant is supposed to be rebuilt and up and running which...

I thought transmisson mounts were non use with a front and rear engine plate?

My friend is building a 596ci B1 headed mega block. He has a Milodon gear drive, I don't know much about it except it looks cool as hell!

It's an Oklahoma car! Cool. My buddy bought a 1969 dart drag car and is building a B1 headed alumium block motor and using a 'glide. It was raced in California and then came to Oklahoma and did some racing in the 80's. He is also leaving the patina as-is.
