[Ron 73]

Heck, its nice to see the pictures of what you started off with as well!! Keep it up looking good...

 

[cdr]

now

:brainfart:this is a repeat but is the last pics as it sits now

 

[cdr]

also sold my motorcycle dyno so i'v been shopping,the charger had an awesome christmas,still gotta finish my iroc & get it sold,hope to get enough to fund my stoker motor

 

[cdr]

floors before & after,also converted to cable shift











and now for the fun stuff, gotta take a break from body work,porting my super stealth heads & tunnel ram,the t-ram flows real bad!!! so going with an indy single plane


been a while,been pretty ill,but the weather has cooled of some & finally got my flow bench & heads to the house,so i got some #s together so far,
these are the 440 super stealth & this is for a street motor,my testing cyl adapter is 4.250 bore diameter, i will machine it to 4.4 when i can get to it.

otb .200 140 .200 160
.300 202 .300 220
.400 242 .400 260
.500 256 .500 287
.600 267 .600 307
.700 267 .700 323
.800 334

OK opened the seat up a little & did a little combustion chamber work,i am stopping here cause i dont need more flow,this is a street engine build,@ .700 they flow enough to make 688 hp,my cam will be .650 lift. these heads really want a bigger valve but to do that the seats would have to be changed,flowing the head with no valve they flow 360 not saying they would flow that # with a bigger valve but the would definitely pick up some.

.200 164
.300 217
.400 264
.500 290
.600 314
.700 335
.800 345

[tallhair]

glad you are posting updates on the 68 cdr ... looking good

 

[Propwash]

Good deal! Nice looking work...Glad to see her out catching some fresh air.

 

[hunt2elk]

Great looking car. Aren't some of the AMD pieces a blast to get fitting right? I just went through the same issues as you but on a 69. I used the US Cartool torque boxes also, and had to modify them some to get a nice fit. They sure are nice and beefy though. Are those 295/50/15 tires on 10" rims on the rear? They look awesome.

yes 15 x10 5 backspacing,295-50
thanx
