Whatever happened with the Edelbrock Victor heads? I thought that was a great “in between” head making more power than replacement heads but not as exotic as the W heads. Seems it never really caught on.

No room for turbos under the hood?? It’s a 1970 RR with a 540 Hemi and twin 76s. All steel, even the hood and bumpers. 727 with a GV OD., 3.73 geared Dana 60.

Definitely! My buddy’s Chevelle has been 1.28 60’ and I’m gunning for him with 5.40s so I’ve got a long way to go for sure.

4000# street car

Yeah at one time they offered it in 59 degree and 48 degree versions. I don’t recall having to clearance much off the intake on a 9.6 block 48 degree deal. Using the Edelbrock Victor heads, I had to clearance the heads for the pushrods but no clearancing needed on the intake. Building a 650hp...

Are you dead set on using the Indy heads?

I used the Edelbrock Victor heads on the last one I built. Minimal clearancing.

That looks expensive....

Post them up!

I used Morel hydraulic rollers in the one I built. I’m sure they make a solid as well.

The worst one I’ve had was 8 degrees off. Swapped timing sets and we were 2 degrees off, so a 6 degree variance between them. We also discovered a .005 dip after the lash ramp on a cam. It got sent back for replacement. Always check both intake and exhaust lobes.

I knew they did that with the drivers of their late model mustangs but it usually doesn’t affect anything unless leaving a car show...

You’re basically checking the accuracy of the crank key slot, timing chain set and the camshaft. Tolerance stack up could get you that far off as can any error in determining TDC.

As soon as they stray from that concept, interest drops. You’d think NHRA would have learned from NASCAR.

At 4.14, he’s the fastest on leafs. RVW record was set with a 3.61 yesterday. One of the grudge race wagers at SGMP this weekend was 150K alone. These guys are well funded.

That’s impressive. Most guys can’t go that fast that cheap! What’s the combo?

If you’re a check writer, you are correct. We’re do it yourselfers because we can’t afford to be check writers.

Yes. Just the block.

The owner of the fox body LDR car that I built works for the USPS. The other 2400hp mustang I help with is owned by a service tech at a dealership. Both are hard working middle class guys. You don’t have to be a millionaire to do this but I’m sure it helps.

That’s his hair! You can see him watching in the bottom of the vid and then see his head as he runs toward the track and jumps the guard rail.

Remote kill switch is a good idea. Driver of black car never gets out. I’m betting he’s out cold from the hit or he’s in there hurt. That was a pretty good hit.

That looked to be spectator who came over the wall. I didn’t see the driver get out.

Holy ****! I hope everyone is ok... that was nuts...

The most I’ve ever seen these turbos make is 2000fwhp. I’ll be happy if I get anywhere near 1800. I built a 440” Edelbrock Victor headed 48 degee R3 that I really wanted to strap these 76’s on. The 76s would be a much better match for the smaller cube engine. I’m a big fan of those 48 degree...

No, those are $8K, lol. This is a world products block that I scored new for $3500. 4.50 bore x 4.250 stroke. Crower center counterweight crank, Oliver rods, Diamond pistons, Edelbrock heads, Bullet solid roller cam, dry sump oiling and a cable drive fuel pump.

The same. I have two Precision 7675CEAs with the billet wheels and ball bearing center sections. The hemi is a 540 cube all aluminum piece. This shows the turbo placement

What size turbos? What fuel? Any intercooler?

Mine is just a street car but should go 5.teens....

Here’s another buddy’s Chevelle. Procharged 582 street car. It’s been 5.20’s with a 1.24 60’ time

This one is replacing another one that went through the traps backwards at 160mph. This is his old street car that went 8.07 at 171 the pass before this.
