Im going to test friday night with the new motor comb. This will be the frist time out with the car its a brand new car .Here is a run down of the car and motor 68 dart ladder bar 10.5 tire car tubalar front end 904 trans A&A brake 9 inch ford 513 gear motor r5p7 motor the motor dyno at 735hp with a 390 carb I will be running a 950 from the carb shop .Feels mighty impressive cannot wait to see it go .PS on a side note B3 Don has to stop smoking once the car goes down the track a little bet him and I had I would also like to thank Bondobob for his help getting this car running and my wife the most for letting me put this car together the last 8 wks

Good luck with it Scott!

Good luck with it,so how about a pic of the car.

Sounds fun! What does the car weigh, and does it still have the NASCAR spec cam in it?

Good luck with it, sounds like fun. Can't wait to hear results.

This is a picture before he got it done, doesnt do the car justice at all

I hope youys are testing at Martin on Friday,not Osceola.Traction has been an issue lately at Osceola,even for guys that don't usually have problems hooking.

Yep...131 tomorrow night

Glad to hear it is together,hope everything goes well!

cant wait to hear the results

good luck Scott

What E.T are you hoping to get?

that sounds sweet!!!
go get it!!

Scot doesnt get on here much, but the car by our estimates is liable to turn anywhere in a wide ET area.

We arent real sure how far the 8 inch convertor that was behind an old motor of his will flash behnd this motor(but suspect it might be light convertor wise)wont know until he tests it.

If the stars were aligned, the car could run mid 9's, if its way off it could go 10.30-10.40. My personal guess is it will run 9.70-9.90 like it sits before he starts dialing in the combo.

He will have to dial in the suspension/shock, etc, play with launch rpms and see where the motor likes being shifted at, a whole lot of variables

Nobody has yet to do this, so who knows, but i cant wait to hear that thing in the water box

at what rpm did it make 735hp??

Nice car Scott! Please post your results!

No more smoking for Don! He's gonna need a big block when he starts eating instead of smoking.

Me thinks 9.50's should be easily accomplished if the dyno was true. I hope you like RPM's cause with a 5.13 gear you are gonna see a bunch with that tire combo on there. I would like to be at the stripe when that thing sings past

He is figuring to zing it 8500-8800 or so, he is hoping it has ENOUGH gear

BTW that 735 ponies was with a 390 carb on it ..it has a carb shop 950 on it now

that dyno was done at Arringtons shop....


Scott took one of the heads off and had a guy pretty famous around these parts(Jerry Arnold)flow it, and it stopped just a smidgen short of 400cfm
