Man, that sucker sure woke up when you nailed it.
I love taking kids to the outside dyno trailers like the ones they have at car shows especially when it's the kid's first time out.
One time, we took a little guy from church and he was like "Man this ain't nothin" while a 70 hemi cuda was going through the gears, and he said it again, and again as the driver rowed through the gears, and I kept telling him that the good part is coming.
Then all of the sudden the driver nailed it and the kid almost fell backwords..ha, ha...I thought he was going to crap his pants and the whole crowd laughed their asses off. LOL.
I have the whole thing on video somewhere.
Yes I sold all of it and more It was realy hard getting ride of the dual set up. I had all the stock parts off the car diffs, seats, suspension, that paid for the R3 block @ $3000.00 and then I sold all the top end, Cam, heads, Rockers intake carbs, valve covers, you name it I sold it @ $3500.00 + another $3500 of my own Paid for the all new top end. Indy heads,intake, Cam, welded alm valve covers, TD rockers, Roller lifters, all but the Carb.what did you do with all the stuff on the old motor? sold it?
I see you are from Cambell River. I have spent a great deal of time there and it was my Dads stompin grounds when he retired. He and my brother now reside in Courtenay. When I get down there for a visit I'd love to stop by and see your wee beasty Dart in person!
Cool car!
Isn't the nitrous fault for that one is my guess.
I am so jelis it has been over a year since my last drive if you can call it that, Im glad my car inspired you.Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, this post prompted me to fire up the cuda for the first time in a couple weeks and go for a spin, even if it is 20 deg. out.
It's sunny but pretty cold for Georgia weather.
I was looking at your combo, the one that did not like the nitrous, and thought how similar my build was to it, except for the intake and 2x4's, but it sounded so much like my car in that video that I had to go remind myself what it sounded like...LOL.
Sure was hard to start that sucker today, almost ran the battery dead cranking, but had a really nice cruize.
The rods are grate, it the bolts that fail you need to up grade the bolts to the ARP 2000s they are said to be able to handle 1000 hp that was straight from scat that asured me. If you look a the pics in this thread you can see a bolt had broken as well, just dont no what broke first the piston or rod bolt, I was over the rec HP for these blocks could have twisted the block took out a bearing and then the rod (6 or a half dosen ) the combos are endless.Did you ever pinpoint the failure? I see you went with eagle rods again, which I've heard good and bad about. I'm considering Eagle 7.100" so wondering what you think.
