I've studied these blocks for a few years now and have come to the conclusion that the motor mount ears and bosses have no skeletal attachment into the blocks core structural strength, and so if elephant ears or a motor plate are in play, why not give the block a shave. When a shave is...

The Titanium 6" long alternator mounting bolt is now spinning on the lathe. It should be here in a week or so. I'll post it up once it's in my hands.

It looks old to me, though the reproduction shift pattern glass has been in circulation for a fair amount of years now. It could be an original. Either way, it is a nice piece. The overall steel column jacket itself is standard just like the stock types. The internals rooster pad has a...

Thank you 4gear.

Yeah, I guess if Chrysler didn't want to or couldn't make it for whatever reasons, then I would. It's the most proud piece on the car, though there are many other parts that are small and hidden that are real pieces to drool over. Maybe someone should start a book cover eye appeal Super Stock...

Here's the underbelly construction. Sturdy and dirty trick piece it is.

A gentleman who is building a NHRA Super Stock '65 was curious of my scratch built aluminum hood. Here it is as a repost just after construction and in top coat form as it sits on the car today.

Yeah, certain stresses can crush, bend and collapse lightweight tubing or flat stock if not considering it to have enough meat for strength. I’m traveling at the moment, so I couldn’t give you the measurements on my aluminum tubing/ spacers between the alternator and the motor head, but I do...

This is why even though it doesn't see much racing at all anymore, a multi-point check list is followed religiously most often to make sure that critical parts are still sitting strong. As far as a Dana, I'm confident with it behind there. The 8-3/4 most likely would have lived back there being...

That there is some serious Fabbing.

Thanks for the heads up. Either I or my friend will reach out to them in short order.

As far as scatter shields are concerned, yes they are heavy with the exception of course, if one would spring for a Trick Titanium scatter shield which could set you back a few thou$and dollar$. If I were to ever campaign a pedal car, it would be safe to say that I'd go the whole nine yards to...

HHmmmmmm. Interesting. It all makes sense.

Thank you. Where there is necessity and ambition, there is a way, but only with patience and imagination. Kramer didn't think there was a market for a high profile outlaw A/FX scoop neither and that's when I went into action. Believe it or not, the end bends on either side of the scoop were made...

RB based 493 CI. Indy SR heads. 640 lift across 269-271 Solid comp cam. 12.5 CR. 1000 CFM. 650 HP 625 TQ.

Yeah, I think the CM yoke could be a little lighter, but I just didn't want to spend the coin for several units to find out. I would think that any yoke should NOT be modified or lightened in any manner for safety reasons. IIRC, someone out there makes titanium yokes, but not for the 27's.

In place and ready for the Rat race. Passes inspection.

One elusive item for this creation simply because it isn't produced and thus available, is the dreaded transmission slip yoke in Titanium. This is where strength is needed obviously, but it would be gravy if it were available in the pretty super strong light alloy.

Here's a Distributor hold down bolt in high grade Titanium from Mettec. It's a 5/16-18 X 2" long. To add, I have this very same bolt in a much lighter aluminum, but because of the expected stresses of keeping a sprung aluminum distributor hold down bracket in place, which in turn keeps the...

And must we not forget the very top of the engine itself. The aluminum air cleaner nut and washer.
