Got a 418 i am gonna slap together with a roller,between 12.5 and 13 compression, and a set of the new trick flow small block heads Will have a 904 behind it, and at 3300 pounds hoping it will run 10.20’s or so, wont need a license..... getting to old to want one or jump through those hoops anyhow. In the meantime, want to get my stock stroke low compression 360 in the 10’s first...... And in between all that, get my hip replaced, its starting to really bug my mobility doing much of anything

I'm going to finish my 31 Plymouth and have it all tested and dialed in for Drag Week. The hemi is going on the Dyno mid January. Also I'm going to fix the issues with my 67 GTX that forced my to drop out of Drag Week 2017, so I have a good back up car, just in case.

Trying to get back into it. I am looking at trying a new carb on the GTX and probably offing the 1000 race demon.
Been considering farming out all or part of the bodywork/paint on that car and think I may have met someone who could turn out to be a good resource. Need to invest some time with this person and get an idea what will need to happen. (I already know I'm not going to like the price).
I will be shopping around to find somewhere good to rework/prep and port the small pile of heads I collected a few years back. Hasn't been much interest from the famous names here so I might have to actually talk to people in real life, which I actually welcome...just need to find the time....there is a crazy amount of knowledge locally that I haven't really attempted to tap into and that's probably a mistake.
Need to take the time to scrutinize the LA small block-related items in the collection closely and need to work towards selling off the stuff I'm not going to use anytime soon.

I've got half the paint striped off the dart. Making way for a new paint job Putting a glass rear bumper to match the front. Adding an engine plate and denso alternator Possibly a fiberglass dash if I'm really feeling froggy. Looking forward to working in my new garage. This will be my first big project. Any folks around Kentucky are more than welcome to stop by and lend a hand.... Jeff

New mill for my old girl. The 500 seemed to be possessed by the spirit of Chuckie. Overhaul my Indy Max block. Figure out if going 572 or 605. Not sure which stroke to use yet.

The Cuda gets a new cage in Feb to replace the one installed in 1988. Still trying to decide on a power plant. Leaning towards a 540 w/a F2 or a 540 w/B1's. This will probably be a 2018-2019 build. Lol

Remove my 547 wedge from my sons car, remove the heads and put them onto his 440 and fit it to his car. Refresh the 547 short. Remove my 528 wedge from the Cuda, remove the heads and give them a rebuild with new springs and locks. Fit the heads to the 547 and fit into the Cuda with new convertor. Refresh 528 and wrap it up. Fabricate molly cage for the Cuda.

65 Plymouth Satellite to do some bracket racing with. 506 wedge with Victor maxwedge and solid roller.Shooting for 10.0s The chassis is being done now. Plan is a narrowed Dana with Caltracs and mono springs. Once that is completed and ready it's on to the driveline. Hope to have it ready for shakedown passes this year and turn my daughter loose in it at some point. She has some time left to Jr. race so we aren't in a hurry.

Plan to have my renewed 68 Cuda back out early in the year. Over the past 2 yrs I have almost completely redone the whole car. I started with replacing the 8 3/4 and suspension with an aftermarket 9", new aluminum driveshaft, new suspension and a new set of slicks. I also removed all of the stock front suspension and built new K member setup for installation of Lamb struts, Pinto rack & pinion steering and Centerline spindle mount wheels. The power plant is my NA 413ci Xblock converted to a basically new blower motor. Using the Xblock and my 3.91 crank I have new Large Port Commando heads, new Racetec pistons on Lentz rods. Intake is a Offenhauser blower manifold with a 6-71 sitting on it. For fuel delivery I have a Hilborn bugcatcher injection which I have set up for E85. Didn't do anything to the JW Powerglide trans except change it's location a little over an inch.
One of the biggest challenges was determining location and designing mounts for hilborn fuel pump, vacuum pump, alternator and the CSI electric water pump. I had it all mocked up and then decided to go to the strut front end which required use of a motor plate. That required redo of all the mounting plans for the front of the engine. I've got it all figured out now and should be ready in Feb or March.

I bought a 68 Barracuda F/SA Stock Eliminator car that has been sitting for a decade. Been going through it, cleaning it up, all new wiring, new fuel system, carpet, seats, painting etc. I will run it some this year with a 360/380 crate motor while going through and building a 340 for it to be run in stock again. Day 1 Removed the old stickers Trunk 360/380 crate motor with a few upgrades. Repainted engine bay

Put my new PSO headed B1 in Silverfish and hopefully run some 4.50-4.70'S according to class and jet limit !! Better get rid of that JW wheel. The one I had in my Lebaron shed the starter ring and nearly sawed the passenger side frame rail in two. The "Wheel" was only a couple years old as well.

I picked up Bigcube's fat tire, tube chassis Dart and will be changing it over to a Gen3 Hemi.
This will be a 439" Aluminum block, with 6.4 heads and tall Ritter intake done by Brett Miller. 1050 dom on e85 and a 904 trans.
This will be another bottom bulb bracket car. The time line on this project all depends on work, and if the other car doesn't get jealous and break.

My plan is to get my latest toy home from Nebraska this spring, and have it reassembled and tested in time to go to Clay City for the Mopar show. I bought the old Buzzin' Half Duzzin'and most of the pieces to put it back together. I changed jobs and hope to have a little more time to race.

You guys have some awesome projects and upgrades.
I have no plans this winter except for some kind of trans protection such as a shorty blanket or something for track days. I'll probably enjoy the Duster for one more Summer then sell it to move on to another project of some kind. I enjoy building them as much as I do driving or racing them.

Nothing much, I need new headers for 11secdart as present ones are worn and leaking going to order a new set of Tubular Automotive or TTI ones soon, get them coated and put them in, bought a line loc for the D150 and have to put that in too. Dart got a fresh trans, rear, rebuilt fuel pump and drag radials last season so except for the headers its ready to go.

I have a set of G3 ported Eddy heads, and I just scored a mint 400 block, and a set of new Hedman fenderwll headers, and I am just finishing the install of my 605 Hemi in the Cuda.... Those pieces should fit together nicely I like options, and have three cars right now....When you race, you have to have spares, even if they don't all match.

The plan is to get my block back from Mitchell, get (2) sleeves installed and start over. Switching to a external swinging pickup to get around the mess in the oiling system. After I had gotten the motor in the car the first time I came across a set of ported -1s so, they will be replacing the EZ-1's. I just had those flowed and they came back pretty good. They flowed 395/300 @ .800 and actually kept going to .900 @ 409/304 but, I'm going to stay around .800 lift. Should work pretty good on a 557". While all that is happening I have a spare 440 in the car that we will be running a new nostalgia series at Cecil County. Should be a fun year.
Ron, we can pass that intake to you once I get the big motor Thanks Jack as actually some one else offered to let me try an intake and carb that I am pretty sure will fit under my hood. But I will talk to you and your dad soon. Ron

Well the 2018 race season upgrades have been slow for me as I messed up my knee but it is slowly coming around. I ordered an ATI powerglide Super Case tonight and a Mopar bellhousing. It is going in my small tire car set-up with a 1.69 low gear to take some hit out of it. I bought Jason Digbys nitrous converter when he switched to turbos so its already sitting here as is a 300-700 Nitrous Solutions plate system. I hope to pull the small block on my bracket car asap to freshen up the engine after 3 seasons of limited use. I hope to upgrade it to a roller cam over the Winter. My Son Matt's engine is fresh so thats a GOOD thing. Aren't Winters great???

Interesting for such a heavy car and probably needing to spin a heavy piston hard. Im working on a odd 318 block based 340 with some old but new trw flat tops above deck and even they are very heavy. My plans for 2018 are to finish my Mopar small block 305 CID "nostalgia" motor for my '72 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus.
Already have the custom billet 2.96" stroke (Bryant Racing) crankshaft at the machine shop. The .030 over 340 block is being decked for TRW dome pistons (L2322F) .017" out of the block. Custom (Cunningham) rods at 6.298" center to center length are also ready to go. Will use an old set of open chamber "O" cylinder heads (2.02 intake) with 273 adjustable rockers (Rocker Arms Unlimited) and a 340 ('68 manual profile, more or less) hydraulic camshaft (Oregon Cams). Factory correct 1972 Carter ThermoQuad with matching '72 factory cast iron intake manifold and factory '72 trap door air cleaner are also ready on hand (well, need to re-build the carb). Plain chrome (no Mopar logo) Direct Connection valve covers and Kevko 5 quart oil pan and pick-up round things out.
The only item up in the air at the moment are exhaust manifolds. May have to use the 318 manifolds from the original motor for starters.

BobR just running top sportsman for now. Just an NA BB Mopar, so no power to keep up with fast cars. I may also run with Danny at his local big tire deal at LVMS.

Top Sportsman has been ruined in my area with IHRA going bracket Racing only. Getting a car capible of qualifying for a NHRA race plus travel expenses for the little payout makes it a dumb move. Big money bracket races is the future

Depends on what your goals are and where you live. I am fortunate enough to have the spring fling million in my backyard. After that it is a few hours away to hit another medium dollar bracket race. We had one in Salt Lake as well but this is the last year the track will be open. We don't have so many choices out west. Got to get in where you fit in. I have a car for big $$$ bracket racing already, the best tool and long skinny car. Not done chasing Wallys for me so TS it is. Aint for everyone for sure and doing it in a Mopar with Mopar power makes me extra extra stupid

Not sure what this year will bring for me...Started a new job and bought project house in December, so the first half of winter has been hectic. Not living in the house yet, so rent + mortgage is limiting my fun funds, plus I will have to equip my new "shop" once we move in.
While my personal season might be limited, I should be travelling to a few national events for work, supporting the dark side...haha

Got the new TTi headers in, took the fuel pressure gauge off the cowl and took the Raceway Park Eliminator Win stickers off the car and the ETown sticker off my H.Q.C.

That was me. That shop had tons of killer vehicles in it and a bunch of nice guys. That javelin looks amazing. Somebody in phoenix got a deal on a used keith black hemi block n heads for 3500. Both ads were posted about the same time. It sold in about 2 hours, I had no chance at it.
