Car wasn't legal and the shift point was set quite low for the combo when my dad was wheeling it. It's caged and will have all the equipment to get certed legal so we'll see where it goes from there.... better ways to invest go fast money? sure... but it's the path I chose so I'll go with it!

I'll have to come up with a pulley and alternator. Add some fore/aft limiters and we should be pretty close to hauling it to a track. It's so dang hot in the garage so it's hard to get my butt out there to do any work this time of year. Thank you Brian and Fred Hafliger (IMM Engines) for screwing this thing together. Thank you Brett Miller.... didn't have a clue who he was, but after my W5 disappointment I was talking to Jesse and he urged me to call Brett as he knew he had a top end laying around. Made the call, and away we went! Thank you Brian Smith for coming up with some key pieces which were slowing my progress down to a standstill. The waterpump spacers and motor plate for the belt drive were perfect!! Can't wait until this fall when it cools and I can get this package sorted out. It's going to be fun I'm thinking!

We have had this argument before...but a max effort W5 makes way more than 650.... easily over 700....... again 3220 weight 140 mph on stock suspension with a 727 is well over 700......oops...its the same thread....lol Last edited by B3422W5; 07/25/14 12:08 PM.

I'm with you on the heat. I'm lucky to work 2nd shift, so I get out in the garage at 6:00am. Still been in the 90's that early, but I can get a couple of hours in before work. Again, she's a beauty and should a lot of fun. Good luck with it! Robert R Mesa, AZ 70 Challenger R/T 440-6 4-Sp Cruiser 67 Barracuda FB 540 4-Sp Strip/Street and Drag Week

Ported Mopar 598 intake, W8 heads courtesy of Mr. Miller..flow 400+ on the two different benches they've been on. 9.20 R3 block. Molnar 4" crank and gm rods. Kevco aluminum rear sump pan. Compression ended up around 13.5-1 and we'll be running VP C12 fuel. After a long search a usable cam core was finally found at Crane. The grind ended up 264-272 @ .050 .750 lift at the retainer. Pretty stable combo that should provide lots of trouble free runs without a ton of babysitting. All the dyno runs were with a quickfuel 1050 carb, but I'll be running our old 1050 on it from our W5 mill. The combo was not set on "kill"... when I race it's mostly brackets so in all an engine of the magnitude is not necessary..... but it will be FUN and that's what I'm looking forward to! Get it sorted out and I may look at some index racing.
