After fighting with hot stalling, backfiring, and hot starting issues throughout the year, I finally reached one of my goals. I thought I would be able to squeeze 9.50's out of this combo and finally did.... I still believe that I have ignition issues with it and plan to pull the motor and...

After breaking a bunch of 50 year old blocks, I've finally decided to jump ship on stock block 440's. I've collected all the parts I need to build a 450 CI 392 based gen 3 hemi. It's going to be N/A, Dominator carb'd 727 and hopefully much more reliable. I can't complain about the motor I'm...

I haven't been posting here for a while now. Been real busy with life... Some may know about the Nostalgia club that I ran with probably 6 or 7 years ago now. It started out as Nendra. Typically we had about 6- 10 cars racing with us at one time. I'll skip through all the drama that happened at...

I'm still in the process of building another 440 for the Cuda, but this was a deal that I couldn't ignore. I drove out to Michigan last week to pick it up. Not sure of the direction I'm going, but maybe a turbo or 2 ...

In search of another 440 block... This is the race motor with 50 passes before it spun a rod bearing. My old GTX motor is still safe and in my car now. It never ends...

So after 51 passes on the motor that took me 17 months to get, it let go. Last Saturday I made 2 time shots which were about 1/2 a tenth slower than expected. But nothing seemed wrong at the time. 1st round got to about 1000 ft. and it shut off. Coasted off track, tried starting it once but no...

40 passes on this engine...

I've decided to start naming my converters that look alike to avoid installing the wrong ones.

After so many setbacks this year, I was finally able to put together a nice day... Until it rained. I fixed the headers and got them back on the car in time to race. The 8 " converter went back into the car as well. 60 ft. Time improved a bit, but still not satisfied with where it is. I guess...

At my race on Saturday, I made 2 timeshots which were fine and then 1st round, couldn't run my number and sounded a bit off. When I got home, checking everything over in the engine compartment, found my header tube had about a 3 inch long split in it at the bend. Pulled them out and found the...

I'm finally hoping to take a little guesswork out of my favorite hobby.

My 60 ft. times have been struggling with the 8" converter I installed at the beginning of this season. I footbrake the car. My e.t.s and mph. have been ok, just sluggish off the line. Yesterday I pulled it out and installed the 9.5" that I got with the car. I haven't run the refreshed 9.5 with...

I started out a couple weeks ago by installing new rear shocks and springs. I also moved weight around with the 4 link bars. The weather has been terrible here so I had no time to test. Wednesday night Island Dragway had a special event with some street outlaw guy so I signed up for a tnt. It...

I'm having 60ft. Issues and most is probably the converter, but I needed to replace the 30+ year old Konis and springs. The springs were 140 lbs. I installed viking crusader shocks and 110 lb. Springs. I corner scaled the car. With the old setup, I was 220lbs. lighter on the passenger rear. I...

You find it off track... Chicks dig Barracudas. :usflag:

So far I have made some good passes this year but haven't been able to win a single round in 4 races. I keep having to sort out small issues. I'll make 2 good time shots and then something happens for the first round. New engine, trans and converter. The car runs well but 60 ft. times suck...

Saturday was our first race this season. I made one time shot and parked it. A lot of bugs to work out after having the car completely disassembled for a year and a half. Nothing major, but needs some attention. It went 9.77@ 137 off the trailer. I was happy with that, but definitely will be...

Got the engine out of jail. I have my first race on Saturday. Work is killing me, buy we'll see...

2012 Ram 140,000 miles Just developed a slight tick and shut it down immediately due to the 5.7's reputation. Another project, just what I need. https://youtube.com/shorts/vlvwjwmTIrI It had not yet thrown a CEL...
