Description: Originally a 383/4 Speed Car, it now has
a 440/Auto motivating it. At the time
of the burnout picture, I was running a
dual quad tunnel ram setup with two Carter
500CFM Competion Series Carbs, 727 Auto
Trans w/ a forward manual valvebody, 4:88
suregrip rear gear in a 8 3/4 housing. The
car ran in the low 13 sec. range. The frame
has been tied. The car already had cutouts
for fenderwell headers, so I decieded to
stick with fenderwell headers.
The car is now running a 445 CID RB, M1 intake with a single Holley 900CFM Pro Series Carb. The trans is still a 727 Auto but, now with a reverse manual valve- body. The car now runs in the low, low, 12 sec. / high 11 sec. range. The rear gear is a 4:10 suregrip, modified C-body axles in the stock GTS 8 3/4 housing hung by the stock GTS suspension. I installed disc brakes up front off a 73 Dart and had to use the Magnum Force upper control arms for adjustment reasons. Installed a 8 gal fuel cell with 1/2" braided stainless steel line up to the Carb.
