Should have this car at the PRI show in Orlando next week. It will be at the Indy Cylinder Head display. Yes it has a New style 426 HEMI in it.

Very cool project! This is how I would have approached the build, that $39K program car is just too expensive.

I hear there is another car being built in Eastern OH that will run an early hemi in SS/GT.

That is a nice car!
Is it one of the race package ones, or is it a normal one that you are converting?
If it is already stated then i must be blind.

Thanks. I looked at the link, and i got confused that is why i asked.
But i guess that makes sense that it is on the lot.
But what got me more confused was that they never showed the factory engine in it.

It is built to be stocker. Since it is going to a while before we know the rules and class in NHRA I will race it at Chrysler Classic , Mopars at the Strip and other Mopar races I go to. So right now its a real cool Pro bracket car. I will also have a stocker motor when we know the rules. It is not a Drag Pak car but built similar to the Drag Pak car.

That looks awesome, Doug! An attention getter for sure!!

So, which car stays at home now? Or did you buy a Gi-normous stacker trailer?!

Can't wait to see it in person. You ought to show up at the Indy points meet in April and enter in Super Street...

Guessing 9.90s at 135 mph should be about 3200# with my 165 lbs onboard.

Do you happen to remember what it weighed when you guys pulled it into the shop?

Couple of silly questions....

Looks like you did not tub it? Are you using the stock wheel wells, and if so, what size tire? Won't this limit it too much?

Why the weird coil set-up on the rear and not a ladder bar set-up?

The coil set up is because in stock eliminator you have to run the factory type suspension.

This rear set up is suppose to be legal in stock eliminator. Right now it has 9 inch tires on it now. We think a 10 tire will also fit.
