Nice ride Mark , What were shifting the tranny at ? My 1/8th mile was 7.266 at 90.12 mph and only ran 11.510 at 115.18mph . My 60ft was 1.50 . I think I might be short shifting my tranny .
Thanks for the compliments,those pictures were down loaded to Photobucket.If i e-mailed you pictures they would look better than the Photobucket pictures.
Bob,
I'm pretty sure i was shifting at 6,500 rpm when i ran the 11.318.
Are you using stock shocks/struts or drag? Do you have a complete build for the car anywhere on here? I know you have most of it here but anything else. I searched a little bit under your name but over a 1000 posts will take me a month to read. lol
Do you not have a roll bar/cage? I wish I didn't do an 8 pt cage, looks so much better w/o it. Any interior shots?
Thanks, Dave
Are you running exhaust on this car? Did you happen to take any pics of the exhaust installed? I need to make some alterations to my car and get a bit smaller exhaust headers/collectors before doing all this.
The rear wheels are 15X8" with a 5 1/2" backspacing.I copied my buddys mounts years ago,but the mounts that bolt to the block were from a 72 or 73 T-Bird with a 460.I made the metal spacer in between and the rubber mounts that bolts to the K-Member is from a 70's F-250 truck Autozone Duralast Numbers 2289 Passenger side and 2290 Drivers side $6.99 a piece at Autozone.I'm not using K-Member spacers,i could e-mail you what pictures i have of my motor mounts if interested.
Dave,
Thanks for the compliment,im using Koni adjustable Struts on the front with the stock 4 cylinder springs.The back of the car has Strange Adjustable shocks,stock 4 cylinder springs and Granatelli weight jacker adjustable lower control arms and Granetelli upper control arms.I don't have a buildup post anywhere,i don't have a roll bar in my car i wanted to get one in it just never got around to it yet.I do have some interior pictures just get me and e-mail address and i'll send you some.
cool, I ended up having my 8 pt cage in a while ago when plans were different. Now it's mostly goin to be street driven and I really want to cut out halo bar above me and the bars at the dash but I may need them in a couple years when I do a stroker. Yeah I will take any pics you have. djs89lx@comcast.net
Sweet ! It looks like the engine fits nice, is it a pain in the *** to pull the plugs? Is the car caged with subframe conectors. I have been kickin it around to do one of those deals or a '72 Ranchero. At this time I am not real sure what I want to do next. I have to build this seasons Comp Jet Boat as well as get the Desert truck ready for a few races. I am also going to try and ster up enough crap to make the next Bullrun deal with the Desert truck. It helps having my crew chief as a prior Bullrunner, Team Dart !
The plugs are easy to get to i can have all 8 out in less than 10 minutes.I have frame connecters but no roll bar yet.
Later Mark.
