Hi again Last year we had a massive engine failure when the crank broke and took a lot of other stuff with it, I found a 3.8 stroke crank and got the block and heads fixed, the "new" engine worked very good and the added torque really got the car moving, had some adjusting to do and still have but we managed a 8.42 at a little over 160 with a really good 1.20 60 ft I have to say I'm very pleased with how it worked out

Remind us of the engine combo please.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Pretty impressive stuff Doug Especially when you think about doing that any where else than here in the home of drag racing I had a guy in Finland send me a picture of one of my old race cars sitting in a old chicken coupe looking building several years ago, it was a original 1963 Plymouth two door hard top Max Wedge car, not sure if it was a 415 HP or 425 HP. Medium dark blue metallic paint. Mafo, do you know any thing about that car or the owners? Are they racing it? It had a mild steel 12 point cage and a Dana 70 rear end with 5.13 gears in it mounted on Mopar SS leaf springs moved into the rear sub frames with full steel wheel tubs It was my first halfway serious bracket car
