I wish... just the chassis stiffening. Unfortunately, rules stipulate that the cage inside cannot be chromoly.

Car should still be around 2850 when it's finished. Still all steel Dart Lite, so I can take some weight out with body panels if I really start to get picky.

And here is reality, see attachment above.




But the first line of this thread reads, "Finally got things going in the right direction by making my own mounts and denting $800 headers..."

Look, I like this build, (a lot) but you positioned the engine. I'm guessing that the TTI's were designed to work with Schumacher mounts. just sayin... and wondering!




Emil, Peter, and myself all discussed the options when I first put these headers in my car using TTI Mounts. You can read more on the issues here:
http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=259395

I'm still waiting on TTI and the vendor to come through on a promise they made.

Gotcha. Rule are for? USCA? Vintage Mod SCCA? I still have not even a rollbar so I would be stuck in limited speed classes I think.

Hi Kevin... you mentioned the magic word.. "Rules"... so, as I've always suggested to anyone building up their car, what club sanctioned rules are you building towards? Will it be able to run competitively in various other club's "rules"? I think regardless where ever you'll run it, it should be highly competitive because of the light-weight to begin with (but, are there minimum weight rules???).

Good luck with it!... looks to be a pretty fast car overall!

Nice. Does it feel like a nice piece? My BBK doesn't look pretty, but it sure feels well built.

Have you decided one what EFI? Are you leaning towards mike or do you want to go MS3-Pro?

I like the box being self contained with the coil drivers, the price, Mikes support and the harness.

As far as the throttle body goes it is solid,but, the IAC needs rotated, the supplied bolts are too long and it didnt come with a gasket. Really should take it up with F&B about that stuff. Another thing is the website says it doesnt come with sensors so I bought them ahead of time, open up the box today and low and behold it has sensors.Im sticking with Mike and I also like the one box/one harness and laptop tunable aspect of what he offers over anything else out there now.

Was looking at S&W racecars site the other night and it looks like, according to them, SCCA 2013 road race cages rules want 1.75x.120 minimum? That is freakin stout stuff. They also show a diagonal bar behind driver as well as a horizontal harness bar. The door bars either x or ladder style. Trying to make those guys happy wont work for me and 2 kids. Im gonna have to compromise in that dept.

Update
After getting TB decided some intake mods were in order. Gasket match is done and will get the inside and TB opening done in the next couple weeks.



Also received EFISource plug and play efi. Am not a fan of the convoluted GM harness sleeve so going to change it all over to gunmetal plastic braided. This stuff isnt any less cheap, just looks better and IMO makes it look more up to date.

Squirters modded and mocked up with 2 pistons and rods. They have nearly identical trajectories since I fashoined a jig for them. After all was said and done the piston skirts would just touch them at bdc so I went ahead and clearanced the skirts with a burr. Piston weight didnt change one gram either.
