The car was a consistent 11.5
car with the 440 in it. I rebuilt the engine and increased the compression
and improved head flow. The upgrades included. 040 over, 11.5:1 Keith Black
pistons, porting and polished heads with single groove stainless steel valves
w/3 angle valve job, full groove main bearings, dual valve springs, 555 lift
hydraulic cam w/292 true duration, true roller timing chain, Mopar
Performance hi-pressure oil pump and 10 qt. oil pan. Sitting on top feeding
the motor is an Edelbrock TM 7 intake with a 950cfm Holley Avenger Carb.
Hooker Super Competition, 3 1/2 "fenderwell headers remove the spent fuel
into a pair of Dynomax 3" Race Series Mufflers to quiet the ride and improve
maximum flow. The transmission is a race built 727 w/3800 Stall torque
converter. It has a full reverse pattern manual valve body with a B & M
Quicksilver shifter and all of the tricks done to the transmission that can
be done. At the rear are 4:56 gears to propel my baby to victory! The interior and body are kept close to original as possible. The
steering wheel is a 69 Dart GT woodgrain wheel attached to a manual steering
box and column. A radio/heater delete plate dresses up the dash. I removed
the visors for the reason that when you launch off the line, the visors tend
to come back into your face!
