Well you don't have to be a Mopar guy to join.

Well,it's pretty basic.It looks a lot tougher than it really is.
It's around 400fwhp and made 220rwkw on a dyno some time ago.

Engine is 440 + 30thou.
Until a few weeks ago it had std 906 iron heads that made it 8.4:1 compression.
Recently fitted iron 915 closed chamber heads that has bumped compression up t0 9.3:1
Cam is a little Moparperformance hydraulic of 284deg adv dur and 0.484" valve lift.
Pipes are custom 2" primaries into 4" collectors exiting through twin 4" X-pipe system with 2x4" flowmaster race mufflers.
Intake is an old DirectConnection/Weiand Superstock manifold with 3 x 2bbl Holleys.The 2 outboard carbs are 350cfms and are working as primaries.
The centre carb is a 650 2bbl and the secondary carb.(or thirdary as I call it:p)
Fans,fuel pump and water pump are all electric.
Ignition is MSD through a 6AL

Trans is full manual reverse pattern 727 via a dominator that makes 4000 stall behind this engine.Shifted via B&M ProRatchet.

Rearend is Chrysler 8.75" with spooled 3.55 gear and billet Currie 30 spline axles.

Has gone a best 1/4 of 12.0@110 and 60' of 1.62.
Next time out expecting around 11.8 with the closed chamber heads.

I've seen your car at the hungry jacks cruise nights a couple of times.

Sounds tough!

Haven't seen it driving around for a while.
