Hey Rick

Mark had some mounting brackets he made for the passenger side that he lent me.
The guy who does some chassis work for me is doing the brackets.

The engine is a newer Mopar 500 crate engine with 10.5 compression, stock Eddy heads and a small roller cam (really small) Should be all done by 5000 rpm

I plan to run the engine with out the procharger this year and then get new coated slugs, have Dwayne spec a cam and do some head work.

Thanks for the comments.

It was the first time in Norwalk that got me hooked and I had to be part of it. Great Great people, running fast and I did not meet anyone with a big ego... they were all having fun.
like firefighter, fast yeti, labrat, p body, 10secgtx, 72rallycharger, Goreski, Stig Jr, Doctor Doug, Blown GTX, and loads more.



Rear suspension is ladder bar. Some of the parts were with the car in when I bought it in mid build.

Thanks Fran. I am taking your advice and easing into the driving. (no procharger 1st year)

Tom, I have TTi headers and 3.5 exhaust with X pipe down to 3 inch at the mufflers . Ron gave me some 3 inch dynomax mufflers and I will drop down the size near the mufflers.

The shock tower on the passenger side was modified to allow that header to be removed. With the engine lower and back further, some changes had to be made.

Now I will need a driveshaft and we will see what else is required.

Phew! After seeing you project expanding, I feel better about pulling my car apart twice and spending exorbitant amounts of money.

Looks like it's coming along nicely. Will we see you at TMP next year?

Hopefully the money tree doesn't run out and you can have it finished for next season.

I'll have to make at least one trip to TMP this year to represent the Eastern Ontario Moparts contingent. Maybe I can convince Blown68 to tag along ?

Ps. I'm really liking that 6-pack hood Rob. It just fits with the theme of that car !
