Looking real sharp! Congrats!
I needed to see that, BAD *** !
Thanks..I toned her down a bit to drive on the street..11:1 compression..Ohio Crankshaft 4340 crank 3.75 stroke..Eagle rods..Ross pistons..Comp Cams 600 solid with Harland Sharp 1.6 rockers taking it to 640 lift..EDM Comp lifters..Indy heads.. Smith Brothers pushrods..ATI dampener..Victor 440 intake MSD distributor and 6AL digital box..825 race demon carb..Transmission is a 727 torqueflite..Steel planeteries from a diesel transmission..roller rear support..ultimate sprag from A&A..5 clutch drum..4.2 shift lever..Turbo Action Cheetah manual valve body..PTC converter and a Cheetah shifter..Rear gears are 4.56...Oh..and it has TTI 2 inch headers..Been meaning to post what all is in the engine and transmission..
Cool, you answered a question of mine in your reply, my 471 build is going to end up around 11.3:1 I've got all the aluminum possible besides the block. And also the plum crazy on her looks amazing, my 70 dart is f4 green kind like a babies runs.
Looks like a 9.90et car
What type of cylinder heads are you running?..The one thing I'd have done different is use a low deck block..Clearance in some places are a *****..I'm having trouble getting the steering coupler to clear the header tube..If I'd have known just how tight it was going to be I'd of went with a QA1 k member with coil overs on the front along with rack and pinion steering..If I have to pull her out on down the road that's what I'll do..
Trick flow 240s on a 400 block & coated fenderwell headers, I'll most likely modify them slightly so I can fit a decent height tire up front
Definitely the way to go with that low deck..A friend of mine bought a set of those 240s..I believe those come CNC ported?
Mine had fenderwell headers too when it was drag raced only..Id of stayed with them but couldn't run a taller tire so I cut panels out of an old Valiant and patched up the holes cut for fenderwell headers and bought under chassis TTIs..I wanted 1 7/8 headers but TTI didn't make those only 2 inch and 1 3/4..I was afraid the 1 3/4 would have choked the engine down so I went with 2 inch..Id give a hundred bucks just to have a quarter of an inch clearance in some places..Looks like I will be dinging a header tube..
Installed them with adjustable dial set a zero..After installing them set them to 6 clicks...If you'll look in the pic you'll see that snubber on the lower A arm..That'll limit how far the suspension travels down when it picks up the front tires and sets them down..We've used these on a couple of other A bodies and they work pretty good..They're the QA1 stockers..

I `ve got 2'' tti`s on my 440/505 in a 68 fastback, everything clears , but is tite as h--- , no bent tubes , aftermarket k-frame w/ rack n pinion , 1/4'' IS ABOUT THE MOST i HAVE SOME PLACES 1/8'' .
You can elongate the holes in the floor plate of ur steering column to get a hair more room on the shaft -------------I`ve read a borgeson steering box is smaller than the mopar box too .

Here is a pix of my Demon badge, the bright red and yellow just didn’t look good on mine so I took the badge decal to a local graphics guy and he customized to a different color for me. I love your build it is gorgeous. I am stuffing a 6.1 in mine so I totally understand the no room thing!
