When I started building the Dak, I wanted it "perform" as close to UNLAWFL as I could get it. iirc, Gary's best was a 10.73, ran 4.10's in a DANA, 29" tall tires, unported Edelbrock heads, a TM7, Victor 440 and M1 intakes, 3600 w/ him. I think he said it was around 580hp?? But I can't remember all the details.

I have 4.10's in an 8 3/4, 10.8:1 440, maxed ported and milled Eheads{76cc},a Victor 440, 4000 PTC, the same "Unlawfl" custom .585 Comp Cam, Pro Magnum 1.5 rockers, Holley dp 850, CalTracs w/ split monoleafs, I think I'm less than 3400lbs {w/ me}, 28" tall rear drag radials, etc, etc..

My best so far is the 11.87. The whole goal of this truck is to get into the 10's. I know that Un did some carb work, not sure if he went with a ProForm 850 or 950 body. Not sure what the stall was for the converter or even the size. Mines a 9".

I want to change some things before the season really gets going.. I have considered the rear gears, the carb cfm, a taller carb spacer, a scoop on the hood and a few other items.

Do you guys know where I can find the build info of the Challenger? I have looked in the tech archives, but all that there is when he was thinking of building the 500".. Let me know what you think.. Thanks..

His E heads were ported,,,not out of the box. Vince Impastato did them. ( I had mine done there as well,,after Gary recomended Vince to me,, ).
Vince might have the flow numbers,,,if needed.

I used to have his motor "combo" saved on the computer,,,,,,(specs,,etc),,i will see if i can find some of the info...

Maybe Bubba or STEFF or Chuck Millen or Jack Irons can chime in,,,i think they knew his combo pretty well.

I'll bring the his Mopar Muscle magazine article next weekend. I think it went in depth on his build.

I found his cam info....i cant find the other motor info though,,sorry...

Cam specs:(per Gary) "I followed fast68's advice on the camshaft, it's a comp cam based on the .875 design,,,its 294 @ .020, 262 @.050 174 @ .200 and .585 lift"

From what i remember after talking with Gary at Norwalk ;

Fully ported E-heads (300 cfm)
Comp XX 262@.050 PRH custom grind cam
TM7 intake with spacer
Race Demon 825cfm
Hooker 2in headers
Ross pistons/scat rods (10.7 cr)
Dynamic 9.5in converter (4500 stall)
Dana with 4.30 gears

Thanks guys. I have the exact same cam. The heads I have are from Dwayne Porter. He did all the work to them. He told me what the cam was and I ordered it through him. Along with the rockers and such.

I guess I'm not too far off from what he had.

I too had the same mag. I can't find which tote it's in. I thought I had it seperate from the rest of the pile.

The specs quoted are exactly as I remembered them


About a week before he passed Gary called me very excitedly.... picking my brain about wanting to build 511 stroker, we must have talked for 1 1/2 hours.

I dedicated the first fire-up of my 517 to Unlawfl....somehow I knew Gary was looking down with approval

Doug.. Thats what I was looking for. I knew it was around somewhere..

Wize, I hear ya with the dedication. Like I said, from the beginning of the build of this truck, I have had Gary in mind. I'm getting close. I hope to get his #'s this summer with it. I got his badge on the passenger side of the rear window. He'll be along for the ride EVERY time..
