I'm drooling and drooling and drooling..............
Any info on Victory engines in Cleveland?Ray Barton Racing Engines, Inc.
These guys should be able to get you sorted out. Very well known in hemi world.
No Sir, But Joe's Precision Racing. Engines is Well known here. Joe passed about 8 years ago, but his people carry it on. He took a chunk outta a 440 and put in my Bros windowed 426 Hemi Cuda Vert! I've DROVE it. Think he may have done stuff for Art Malone and Big Daddy. They fixed something No One In the Bay would touch of mine in 91
Man o man, if I lived anywhere close to you, I'd be hanging out at your place helping any way I could just to lay hands on that rare beast! Good luck to you!Yes, I need all the help I can get................
Thanks for the kind words! And I would DEFINITELY love to help on that build, it's a unbelievably cool story and car!@replicaracer43 is in North Carolina I believe and could be a valuable resource for you. Hopefully he chimes in here.
Hopefully you two can connect.Thanks for the kind words! And I would DEFINITELY love to help on that build, it's an unbelievably cool story and car!
Thanks for this!The best way to pull a mopar engine is to drop the cradle out from underneath. A search here will find you that info. But in your situation with a motor plate and a hemi, you might be coming out the top. Taking the hood off certainly makes that easier. I’d personally disconnect the trans and yank the engine by itself.
Thank you! Pretty sure it is both…….disconnected and not raced more than a few times.I can't imagine a more drool-worthy barn-find!! That odometer!! That shifter! And the proper A100 seats! What's odd is......was this not raced much at all, or is the speedo cable disconnected?
I sent him a message.@replicaracer43 is in North Carolina I believe and could be a valuable resource for you. Hopefully he chimes in here.
Thank you!Oh Wow! I somehow missed this thread. But very cool car indeed…

Never heard of them. Sorry can’t say anything good or bad about them.
I ain't drooling, I'll, more than likely, never own one. I have a Holy Grail Harley, Blessed to have that! But if I lived within an hour or 2 from MaxCustody, I'd bring the beer, bust my ***, get greasy as all get out, just to help the cause. He'd prolly get sick of lookin at me! Back in the old days we'd work on them cars 5, 6, 7 days a week Man, a WOT ride, of course, after completing, would be highly appreciated though!I'm drooling and drooling and drooling..............
Thank you, Great info!Also, should you replace that alternator, you're going to want to keep that pulley. It's an over sized, deep groove pulley for high RPM. Don't let it get away.
Thank you! I agree on preservation.It’s a shame your FIL didn’t talk about it much, looks like it was a really well built car in its time! I definitely think it should be more of a preservation than restoration. That’s a once in a lifetime type of find.
