Yea for sure, I want to build a 572 for it. Plan to run the div. 6 races this year and see what happens from there.

Very nice build and great job on the video. Thanks for sharing your build with us. What wheelbase did you end up with?




To clarify my last post wheelbase ended up at 105"




Thanks for the info. My mind keeps trying to talk my body into doing a rebody on my Daytona. Pretty sure it is only 97 or 98 inch wheelbase. My chassis is certified to 7.50 and is mild steel. It is a very hard car to bracket race or Top Sportsman because of visibility.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Did you do all the carbon fiber work like the tubs yourself?

Simply awesome!

I can't fathom putting together a chassis like that.

The fact that it ran straight as a string down the dragstrip was pretty amazing too!

Yes I did all the carbon fiber work too. What a scary day that was cutting the tubs off the template i had been working on!
I nicknamed my wife cranky because she runs the crank on the bead roller as I feed in the material; we have become a pretty good team when it comes to that!

Yea I was pretty stoked just to get past the first 6 licensing passes without any issues, but to turnaround and put 4 more 1/8 mile passes and 6 1/4 mile passes on it and not do anything besides adjust tire pressures was quite nice!

What did it end up weighing with the smallblock in it? Where did you add the 2 inches in wheelbase? Again, awesome work, Jim.
