63 Plymouth stock eliminator project

[Gunner1]

What do you have for a rear end setup. I still have my tapered axle 8 3/4 back there.

Making some headway...talked to a guy about doing the interior work (carpet, headliner, door and rear panels) he's going to stop at the house this week to check it out. Bought new Hoosiers since the old tires lose about 5 lbs. of pressure a day. Fired it up to check for leaks (radiator and fuel pump, so far so good) still need to hook up the tach, change oil ( still has break in oil) bleed brakes, clean up some wiring. Bought some A-990 bucket seats from a friend...would like to get her out for some T-N-T in July.

can't quite see my 8 3/4 bracing , but it was done from center of both springs across . the shocks are vertical mounted to the side frame rails . and had tobe moved more to the rear because the brace bent both shocks on a hard lunch , lol . live n learn .

Oil and filter, fresh belts, fresh Hoosiers, tach mounted and hooked up, fuel cell vented. Can't live with this throttle linkage though. Still a few tracks open through Oct. for test n tune. So close...

Not finished yet but ready for some test n tune, one little problem though...THE TRACKS ARE CLOSED!!

Those rims look great on there.

 

[Budnicks]

Nice looking set up, looks like a runner too...

find someplace remote to let it eat,
make a few launches & maybe some 1/2 passes
always some 'way out place' you can do a few short blasts

make sure take someone to video you
so you can show US too

anyway good luck

Nice ride, best of luck when spring comes back around.

this car ran 10.73 in 1973 with a wild 8k 383 850 cfm combo , it's been around for a long time as a racer/street machine

Grate looking Car. The pain we go through. But it is all worth it in the end. Have fun.

I have done that since we live out in the country, didn't take a video. Engine feels strong but need a track where I can get some feedback...60 ft. and at least an 1/8 mile ET and speed.

Buy a Dragy. Dragy Motorsports couple of hundred bucks and lt will give you all your feed back. That’s a Killer B.

Haven't updated in a while...finally took the car for upholstery work. Also working in the engine bay as well. Torque strap, battery needs to be moved up front for stock eliminator and have to put an alternator on for the same reason. Also bought some TTI 1"3/4 primary long tube headres to replace these short welded collector headers. Want the option of adding collector extensions. Gettin there...
