Looks good Scott. I like the look of that white one. One nasty little A in the makings.
 
Today I dropped off my heads to a respected engine builder(Mike at Active engines)He,s the top in Canada and also known across the states.He does all motors for Dream car garage,also does alot of offshore boat racing engines.He offered me W2 heads and intake done for an unbelievable price,just I,m not gonna be seriously racing Pro/Street yet LOL.He,s gonna see what the RPM,s flow first then go from there.In his shop he had an original Gt350 Mustang fastback(1 of the Hurtz rental cars)I belive it was a 65 or 66?Anyway the owner had shipped the car up from Texas to have the new engine done.So right there thats telling me how good he is.He was telling me how much I,ll enjoy the 408c.i motor.More to come...stay tuned!:clock:

Mike and Wayne have built several SBs and a couple of 383/440 motors for my friend and I . I've known them since the 80s when they worked out of a little shop not much bigger then your garage Petty. They are great guys and very well known.
 
It sounds like it went to a great bunch of folks Petty :thumbrig::thumbrig:
I am so glad I have 66aCUDA "our one of a few slant 6 guru's" just two hours away :cheers:
I am at a stand still now, Holidays and all, But Frank is sending me a Aussie intake/exhaust gasket and a new oil pump soon so I can get it buttoned up and to the muffler shop :happy10:
That is going to be one mad 66 Dart bud :cheers::thumbrig::thumbrig:

Don,t know about the 9,s Wally?I have looked into a cage though and they,re priced right.Try googleing S&W Race cars.They have quite the variety of add ons,even for Mopars LOL!I would like to get in the low 11,s,high 10,s would be nice.8)
 
500hp!!! Ok, low 12's...!! LOL!! J/K, you got the bug worse than I thought!! Are you sure that wavering on a 500 hp SB is cost effective? You may as well go for the 540 inch/800hp blown BB and get it over with!!! You know your going to end up there, you may as well skip a step!!! LOL!!!! Looking fantasic Petty!!

PICS,PICS,PICS!!!!!
