    Transmission drag oil pan

    I have the same opinion with the above pan. It the goal was to keep ATF away from the moving parts.

    Transmission drag oil pan

    I haven’t. I haven’t seen a pan like this till now. Where else would a windage tray go, between the moving parts and the fluid!

    Transmission drag oil pan

    I would think a standard drop pan like a B&M with a windage tray would accomplish keeping the fluid away from moving parts more than that would.

    Disappointed with my engine

    In 73 I had a 69 350/350 hp 4 speed Vette l raced I don’t remember what on the interstate and hit 150 mph. I passed a car on the emergency lane at 120. Yeah I should be dead.

    Disappointed with my engine

    I have always install MP cams advanced. Most of the time 4 degrees. Is it to much trouble to type the correct spelling of words? Or form a proper sentence?

    Disappointed with my engine

    Absolutely! In this day and age of bracket racing, it is more important to build a sold consistent car, than it is to try and build the worlds fastest___________( fill in the blank). You can take the MP 9th edition chassis book and do just that. I ran that 71 Dart 4 seasons before selling it to...

    Disappointed with my engine

    They are like a recipe book. You picked a speed you could afford and simply follow the recipe!

    Disappointed with my engine

    I built a BB bracket car, 71 Dart in the 80's using the MP Chassis book as my bible. Was a consistent 6.30 car that worked perfect.

    Tranny shield or blanket Duster 440

    You said it. Small block and a 904. Try that with a 470 BB and a 727!

    Tranny shield or blanket Duster 440

    If your talking about the black molded carbon fiber looking shield, yes they are a pain in the *** to fit in a A body. I wound up using a blacker.

    Quick end to my racing Saturday night

    Bottom line the left side is working , the right side isn’t. Brake hose plugged or caliper pistons hung.

    Disappointed with my engine

    You can’t even compare 351 Cleveland heads with those small valve J heads.
  16. SGBARRACUDA

    Disappointed with my engine

    If that is so. Then it may do better with more gear. But since your so light, 4.33 should be enough. How tall are the slicks?
  17. SGBARRACUDA

    Disappointed with my engine

    Engine is nothing more than an air pump. Maybe several things heads , carb size, timing? What RPM is it turning at the end of the 1/8?

    Disappointed with my engine

    Sounds like the heads are holding you back.

    Disappointed with my engine

    Makes sense now. 1.40 60’ is not very good. Thou it depends on the height tire. The SG car in my avatar weighed 2615 with out me in it 2890 with me would 60’ 1.20. Ran 5.80’s with a iron headed 440. 4.88 gear with 16x33 slicks.

    The 72 D100 Dog.....

    Love it when you get the kids involved early. This is my grandson helping replace the 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel in his excavator. He twisted it a little to hard lol

    Yup I have the Ram air suspension on my 2020 2500. Love it. Also I would recommend the Ram boxes.

    New tow vehicle...6.4 hemi or Diesel?

    I don’t know about that my 07 5.9 had 285 k on it when I sold it to a farmer in Mi. 2 yrs ago. Still going strong. But I did have to put a water pump on it at 248k.

    RMVB - gear after the lights?

    Only way you can safely shift into neural after a pass is if you a clean neural after high gear. Or you have manual VB with a forward pattern.

    RMVB - gear after the lights?

    The main reason for the bump to neutral was to take the stress off aluminum rods. This was told to me by BME. But unless you have a forward pattern VB it’s mot possible. I ran a forward pattern glide trans with a brake in the 67 Super Gas 67 Barracuda in my Avatar. So bumping it up to neutral...

    Alcohol question ?

    I changed oil much more often. But I able to run without a radiator and only ran water in the block. Ran so cool I had a fit getting it to 150 at start and was only 170 after a run.

    Alcohol question ?

    Methanol dilutes the oil much quicker cause you run so much more alcohol than gas. My SG 67 Barracuda picked up 2/10’s over a well tune gas Dominator. But i was running a Ron’s flying toilet.
