I wonder how much the doors weigh?

I don't have a lot budget wise, however I do have a bit of time. I have a '66 barracuda that I cut the entire floor out of and gutted the doors/etc. I do have a duster and demon as well. The '66 is a money pit so I wanted to see if I could get a duster within the same weight as with less hassle...

2500 with driver would be nice :D I'm 205#'s

:D Nice!

Who has weighed their Duster? I know the later ones are heavier due to doors and bumpers but I assume they can be setup similar to a '70-72. I am talking a complete race car though with no street equipment. I also know it will depend on engine/trans/rear end...etc but I'd like to know in the...

I agree. The Ls1's do run good but who cares if they run good times and handle better, blah, blah. Of course it does!! It has 40 + years of advancements in technology. Apples to oranges. It was a simple race and the Dart got the heads up on the Camaro. So much love for GM stuff on a Mopar forum...

I seen a '65 Belvedere run at the local 1/8 mile track. It ran 9.6 with a semi stock 318. It had a performer intake/Edelbrock 600 and dual exhaust. 3 on the tree to. It was an 80's model with swirl port heads. I thought it was respectable.

I have the car and it was gutted years ago. I have most of the parts to make it happen but it is a very slow process. Are the above figures rwhp or hp at the crank? I will add a cage anyway because of safety. No very fast et is worth my life being ended by a crash with no protection. The...

2200 is the target weight. Partial tube chassis but still using leaf spring rear. Aluminum floor/trunk floor/firewall.Lexan..etc.. 4.62 gears. '66 Barracuda.

Does anyone know what kind of hp and weight are required to do high 7's in the 1/8 mile?? Say 7.90's or in that range??

Most of the advice here is really good. I'd try to make my car even lighter though. It will take quite a bit of rpm to beat his low end torque. You need lots of gear and converter. The 904 is what you need. That is worth a couple of tenths alone due to weight. It takes closer to 50hp to turn the...

Could I run a solid cam with this setup??

I am seeing the heads on the link above for $1300 and the heads from Hughes are around $800 or so?? I want the flow advantages and combustion chamber of the Magnum heads but the LA rocker and intake setup. I think this is the best bang for the buck.

Oh Sweet! Magnum chambers with the LA rocker setup? Does indy offer these or where can I get them?? All I seen on the Indy site was Magnum style heads?? Thanks. I definetly want the heads you described. Or can I get them through Hughes?? I want to use 273 adjustable rockers and a solid cam.

So I'd have to buy a new rocker setup to use on the Magnum heads utilizing a solid cam??

There are different ones?? or are you saying to go with an LA head altogether??

I'm thinking about putting together a bracket package using the Indy LA-X heads. I heard you can only go so big with the cam if you use Magnum heads because after so much lift, it will require machining?? This will probably be an LA engines using the Magnum heads and hydraulic cam. If I want...

At 11:1 compression with that gear, I'd reccomend the Mopar .557 solid, Mopar M1 single plane and the 750 Mighty Demon carb. Just my 2 cents...

The closer to stock the combo is, the more consistent it seems. Been there, done that.

That's awesome! Have you weighed the car yet??

I know all about budget and things are all to often "use what ya got", but I believe the 727 is hurting you're et. A couple of people I know switched from the 727 to the 904 and in the eighth mile they lost 3 tenths. It is noted that a 904 will take up around 25hp to turn as to where a 727...
