The car has been down since last September when we broke a rocker, lifter, and other things. Had a new 540 built by Shawn Meyer at St. Claire Engine. Motor made 830 hp @ 7000 rpm and 775 ft. lb. of torque at 6700 rpm. on their dyno. Special thanks go to Shawn Meyers for his building talent and patience with my stupid questions, Sean Johnson (HardcoreB) for his header building skills, Jerry Tomala (G-Demon) for the trans freshen, and my wife Denise for letting me blow our life savings, lol! Yesterday, Labratt and I hauled the car to my shop to install the wheelie bars (thanks for the help Randy). Randy took a couple videos while we were playing around out front . Crank up the volume and enjoy! See you at Norwalk!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6jLtqZpD7s&feature=context-cha Randy

I have a "vested" interest in the GoldDigger..and want it to do well!..which I know it will! The BEAST sounds much better in person! With all that new-found power,I'm sure the wheelie bars will be a necessity! Norwalk will be AWESOME this year! Now...I hope my good friend,Ron Wilson(Firefighter3931) gets his '68' Charger finished,and ready to rumble,as well! Norwalk,Ohio....HERE WE COME! 7361821-RANDYJOHNSON'SWHEEL-E-BARINSTALL004.jpg (47 downloads)

If anyone's interested in seeing a few more vids of Randy's Dart,just go to my YouTube page..Randy B's 440 GTX,just click the "all videos" icon. I got a rubber shower on the rear view-going away shot! probably a little too close! 7362510-RANDYJOHNSON'SWHEEL-E-BARINSTALL003.jpg (27 downloads)
