1969vert

Right now it is legal...9.99 would require more work... Just want to get there then back it down. Don't want to take the street out of the car yet..

10.30s in good weather...might have to go on a diet...still has full interior..10.5 in the heat...Texas style heat

My vision.. To run 9 seconds in the 1/4 On pump gas. On motor.

Red hood didn't make the cut...had this one laying around.. had to borrow a hood hinge from another project. Got good gaps all around....will see if this hood works out... hopefully not much repair...looks like it was painted with house paint...will strip it next

Wow...

Passenger door on... trying to line up fenders and a throw down hood... drivers hinge failed...might have to rob them off another car for now...

yes and modified it and some welding.. it can be done.

Race car is sleeping for the rest of the year... started back on this prepaint of the passenger door is done...some progress...wife is Happy.. bringing it back from the shell it was

393W with AFR 205 and solid roller crane nitrous cam.. 478hp to the rear tires for 3350lbs..

changed out 3.7 ( Spare 3rd member ) to a new 4.30 Tomorrow will be making noise again.. With a test drive... Racing begins in 2 weeks...

this is what I use on the rear. attached with chains on the rear.. will not crush brake lines. the front is crossed under car diagonally and hooked to the front torque box lips..

found it.

This race season new heads cam intake exhaust...whew...it's faster..

Waiting on one more bird to cook....and enjoying a beverage just a shot of the car ready to hit the track next year....

Cooking some birds by the mustangs hope everyone has a great holiday.....not me I'm working....

don't 400 cranks need the counter balance cut down to fit the blocks? meaning slugs added to the journals?

Pistons are 302 pistons.. for 351W to 393.

Here is mine which is crude but works with a boss 9 scoop..made with a drop down base and a street sign..

the shaft should have a keeper on it. Not allowing it to come up and out of the oil pump.. Try a magnet and see if you can pick it up more than a inch.. If you can there is no keeper and the pan need to come off.

depends on your intake.. I have a mechanical and factory water temperature gauge in my victor jr intake..

Brakes and steering first here also...

m-6009-427f from Ford has treated me well...

Barnett I agree on the paint but the radiator should be sized big enough to cool the engine with some more to spare.. allowing the thermostat to function properly...this is Texas...it's hot..I have a mc338 in my 427 small block it keeps it cool with room to spare with a 147 deg thermostat ...there is a big difference between a 20" and. 24" 2-3-4 cores out there...more BTUs...I'm not taking about a small fan either..18" or 19" if you can fit it in a shroud... extra cooling flex..I would give up HP for better cooling between rounds...or stopping at a red light

All mine are 24" ac radiators..work great at the track and convertible blows cold ac at idle in the Texas heat from a 4 core I bought from John's years ago.

You can paint the aluminum flat black so its not seen from the front...I bought a champion aluminum..pain to fit with a factory shroud..but I did have my factory radiator recorded to a 3 core... bought a 4 core for my convertible from John's mustang...many years ago..it was expensive but the fit was good...
