Alright, I'm hoping these video links work. I'm not the best youtube user on the planet. The old blog link below has more dirty details if you're the readin' type.

Thanks guys, we're still not where we want to be with this combo but I'm feeling like we're on the right track.

Both links work perfectly .. thanks for sharing and please post more if you have them. My fav part of going to drag races is seeing any early 60's factory SS and AWB cars and I especially dig the wagons. Nice work brother

Dvorak built 413 gone .140 over fully rollerised, 13:1 compression hogged out and massaged iron heads and a matched A&A cross ram with dual 750s is the jist of it.

More like a train track. We would like to be deep in the 10s and motor is built to go low 10s in the right car. Probably not our whacky wagon though.

It's not as bad as you'd think but it's still two hands on the wheel kinda deal. Our steering box is a bit hammered so I think we'll be calling up Firm Feel for a replacement unit. Everything else in the front end is pretty tight.

10's sounds pretty easily attainable....

We're real close. Ditching the 4.10s in favor of 4.56s or lower will give us more rpm at the top end where the motor is still pulling hard. That will also help our '60 which is currently around 1.57. We're also looking at sending our valve body out to get it converted to full manual and make one of our converters more suitable to our total package.
