Anybody doing any upgrades to their Race Cars over the winter?

[poppaj]

well then i guess slim as you call him needs to show up at the beaver and back up his claims or if not stop all the juvenille bashing and move on nuff said!! sounds like the balls in your court slim beaver or no beaver.

Casey(Slim) is my son if you didn't know that. He will be there. No flagman,
.400 or .500 pro tree makes no differance to us.

Best I ever saw your Dad's car get up like that! Maybe I can line up against pop's next year too! let the smack talking begin!

Nahhh we all know if I un hook the secondaries you'll have a pretty good chance.

thanks planning on going but probably as a spectator though, the old dodge is kinda slow with the current engine in it maybe when i get the hemi done in the next year or so, maybe we will bring my buddys 65 plymouth altered wheelbase if its done by then that would be cool all fab work is done,now its at the body work stage then drive train and interior and so on and so on maybe we all should have a fbbo meet and greet there with a cook out or something?

Hey bring both! There are a 3 or 4 AWB cars that show to this race every year, so one more is better yet.
How fast does your Coronet run? There isn't any index. You'll have fun no matter what.

Yha we'll all have to meet up at Chris and Casey's (the blue coronet twins)Beer Summit!

my old coronet is so slow i would be embarresed to say just how slow it is my 60 ft times are whats killing it, it just won't come out of the hole and come to life i've only ran it at the track once and made 4 runs i think the carbs crap have to double step the carb taking off so that and maybe the converter are killing it going to play with it again when the weather breaks from winter to see if can pick up maybe at least a second or a few tenths anyways cant wait to have the beer summit though see ya there.

heres my engine. It's a 440 bores .30 over with the Eddy RPM upper half, comp cam, Moroso pan, TTI headers and a few other goodies. I'm carbing up this spring, as well as an oil accumulator and a few more little things then it's off to the races..

Chris... Nice combo. The accumulator is money well spent. Make sure to get one that you can pre lube the motor before start up. It's a real good feeling knowing you have oil pressure before you hit the starter.

Keep us posted on your progress!

pretty much bone stock i believe 70 383 hp engine, aluminum dualplane intake manufacture of it unknown 750 edebrock manual choke carb i believe stock chrysler electronic dist, now has pertronix coil and mopar chrome ecu 727tf shift kit stock converter 8 3/4 355 sure grip 275 60 15 biasply tires on rear heres what my best run was of the day 1/4 mile 60 ft 2.457 and 15.97 at 87.21 mph like i said really sad but my first run i've ever made with the car since putting it together the engine internally i have not touched just bought it and put in car basically i would at least like to get it down to say what a stock 383 roadrunner would run or close im thinking carbs a little to big may put a 650 holley on it and see with more tuning where it goes as the 60 ft time shows having the trouble down low once she starts going she goes good any tips? thanks.

Nice power plant... looks good! Stock 383, you're kind of limited, more gear would probably help perhaps a 410. The Edelbrock carb should be fine; you might have to play with it. (I don't know squat as far as tuning them)
The stock mopar electronic ignition works fine.

Hey Kev
Eddy carbs are easy to tune. Remember all the fun Joey and I were having with 2 of them on my car at the Beaver? Best part NO FUEL to drain like a Holley. :glasses6::icon_hang:

YES, The Edelbrock or Carter Carbs are very easy to tune.
I like them the best of all carbs out there.

64 Dodge Polara w/fresh Hemi

Finally got the engine in my 64 Dodge Polara. I went with a '69 K-member, which put the engine back against the firewall (where it belongs); modified the trans X-member for set back; added frame rails and boxes from ART; all new front suspension and brakes; put a stout radiator in it (the '69 K-member allows plenty of room for upgrading the cooling system); just worked to make several overdue repairs to prepare for cruising this spring.

I've included a pic, and a link to a short youtube clip of the car. The engine had just been fired up in the video - with tuning still required.

The car does need some help with the rear suspension. I think it's got the stock leaves with the right rear biased by ~1", which annoys the fire out of me. Anybody got recommendations on the best rear set up to run these days?

The engine dyno'd at over 800 hp and almost 800 ft lbs at 7100 rpm, while making over 660 hp from 5000 rpm up. I'd like to hook it, if possible.

If you don't plan to cut it up and install ladder bars or 4 link Calvert mono leaf springs, Caltrac bars and QA-1 shocks will do the trick. Call Calvert for the parts and excellent customer service.

Just scored a full set of Weld Alumastar 2.0 wheels and tirs for my 65 dodge Coronet. It was time to change up the look of ol' blue. I think it should look killer.

Wow! Good price! I paid $225 for my 15x3.5 Holeshot fronts. Rears will be quite a bit more with double beadlocks, lol.

NICE wheels. You are gonna go faster just because your car is feeling fine in its new kicks......
