Allowing the Jerico is a farce. It is no longer a stock class... it is aftermarket racing, and any rules that pertain to the ORIGINAL appointments to the car such as interior, engine, or sheetmetal for that matter, are moot. That transmission is an aftermarket cheat to keep inferior engineering...

Much of this escapes me. Why on earth would you worry so much about the cam lift only to allow a Jerico?

Yes, I'll race it at the Nats or a Nostalgia gig, but I want to drive it. The transmission I'm building will be a seperate 4-speed from the slickshift one so that and the spool and 4.86s can be swapped in to race. If I were you I'd get the yokes from a big block/727 C-body or wagon. Save a...

The 307 and the 308 are input shaft bearings. Keep in mind my car is an old drag car so everything on my car is '66/'67 vintage. My transmission has a 307 Hemi bearing retainer. It works well, but I always wonder about going with a 308. The case is an original '66 case that currently has an 18...

Pettyblu, I've followed your earlier posts, and I never knew you were running an 18 spline. VERY COOL. Quick question, do you run the 307, or the 308 bearing? . I'm running an early Hemi retainer for the 307. Since I am going to put all synchronized gears in a new case, I'm thinking of going...

Pretty sure Pettyblue has a 23 spline with no real mods. He has a couple of great posts up about racing that car earlier this summer where you can read about it. Sounds like the 4-speed is worth a bet... make sure your driveshaft is up to par and really scrutinize that flywheel. Make sure...

Regardless of what motor you have decided to run, you will still have to throw some more money at that 4-speed. You are going to HAVE to buy a scattershield. A blow-proof bellhousing is a must. You will likely need to rebuild, and strengthen your clutch linkage. You MAY need to buy new linkage...

Hey kanders, sorry I didn't notice your reply to my post. A GOOD 23 spline will do well behind a motor up to about 450-500 hp on the street. It will need constant attention however, and if it goes it will likely be catastrophic. A good 18 spline will do OK with a good bit more, but it will need...

If you are going to run sticky tires, get ready to throw alot of money at that 4-speed. Chances are you don't have an 18 spline, and a 23 spline will not hold up in a drag car. They are tough, but not that tough. If you don't intend to run the car on the street, you can sell your gearset, and...

With all that damage to the rear, I'd start taking weight off the car, and I might put more gear into it. Racing a stick is a real excercise in give and take, and I don't claim to know any real tricks. What I do know is that the lighter the car and the easier it is to make that drivetrain come...

Did alot of street racing for money when I was back in high school in the late '70s. I never won a dime in a Mopar, but I won my share in my old GTOs.

No, not all SS springs have 7 leafs. Current SS springs are based on the '68 SS Hemi A-body springs. These are early springs. The SS springs that I have are old '65 parts that came on the car. I've owned this car for a little over ten years, so I have no idea why they chose to use two rights. I...

I was concerned about the front bottom edge of the quarter..right about the middle of the tire. 3" will probably force me to get new tires. I really want to keep the 30 inch tires.

The springs are two 1965 Superstock 7 leaf rights. I have the part numbers written down somewhere. They are the original springs the car raced with back in '66.

No drag radials. Goodyear Eagle slicks. When watching my buddies Hemi Demon, it looks like the same tires grow about 4 inches... could be just an optical illusion, but they look like they get HUGE. I think I can swing an inch and a half and still use the tires I have now. That would be great...

I have a '66 Dart that has been a race car all its life. It has been HEAVILY abused, but it is probably one of the best performance optioned '66 Dart GTs built. It is also VERY solid, and from 5 feet it looks great. Anywho, The K-frame was cracked in half in two places, the steering box was...
