This is my beast !

here are a few details >>>>>>>>>>> has a mopar crate magnum 402 stroker .. I bought the 402 for raggie 8 years ago and Never Ever had had a problem with it. never had the intake off or valve covers. over the past years I tweaked it to the max.. I know exactly what she wants.. Played around with carbs , timing distibutors etc. I had it at the track two years ago ran a 11.34 on motor.
has 727 , shift kit rv manual vb. turbo action 3500 stall converter, 3:91 gears , fenderwell headman hustler headers 1 7/8" into 3" exhaust and thru dynomax muffs. rails are tied . drum brakes .linelock, headers are wrapped . glass hood and front bumper. fuel cell with 1/2' fuel line up to carb , electric fuel pump .
chromoly roll bar.8pt. and just recently install all electric fuel pump , water pump and radiator fan . march crank pulley . I restored the body and paint myself 8 years ago . The 850 holley carb worked the best out of all the sizes I went thru. curved the mopar dist. msd 6al , moroso electric water pump.. tauras electric fan.
caltracs , 9 ways rear shocks with caltrac shocks up front ,,, love those front shocks . mono leaf .
hooiser 11.5 x 15 dot drag slicks , skinnies up front 15" . I've been beating on this mopar for 8 years . I don't care what people say about crate motors ,, but this engine must be a freak ! does not use any oil ,, and does not smoke like a rebuild. . I'll try to get some video posted if it goes thru. Thanks !

I hooked up a noz system . will try out this summer.

Cool car! I have nothing against the Mopar performance crate engines they run great and all new parts.
 
Welcome and awesome car!Glad to have another Early-A to share stories with.Your car,s guts are very similar to mine,other than mines a 410c.i with the coated 1 7/8 fenderwell Huslers.I,ve also thought about the juice with my engine only being 10.5 to 1 ,but would have to do some changes to the car to run in the 9,s.Tens are fine for now.good luck with your goals.:cheers:

P.S Maybe change gears to a 4.30??
 
Nice droptop! Sounds like a fun car. Welcome to FABO too. There's a lot of Early A's here. tmm
