We actually got some work done on mocking up the new clutch and bellhousing. Hopefully the engine will be in the car before the new year to start the fabrication of trans tunnel.

Now thats what I call a clutch set up what adjustments are needed?, Lakewood with the ears doesn't come off very easy while the engine is in the car

Boninfante 10' single disc clutch. After initial setup it is pretty simple. Seat the clutch and check the base pressure after 25 runs.

So do you do the adjustment through the upper larger hole in the bell housing?

This isn't your first rodeo is it?

Nice very very nice. Ron

Who did your carbs ? (looks like a Diamond Back sticker on the front ? )

Are you going to run a "pop" off valve on the intake ? in case of a back fire ? (seen a few fires without them)

Nice setup,, ,jealous,, ,,my plan is to do the same setup and run NSS (minus the 4 speed)

Great job....

Doug

Greg, thats a cool setup, don't see many sticks, I'd love to take a look at the car, interested in running some NSS myself since there is some kinda local.

Nice to see ya workin on the car again.

That is going to one of my favs forsure.

Thanks for all the positive words of encouragement. The bottom half is a cast rb block, 500 stroker kit with 4.15 crank, Indy SR Heads, Roller Cam, Indy intake that will be modified for blow off valve, Diamondback 800 cfm carbs, 2- 2 1/8 Indy step headers, Caltracs with Mono springs, lightweight K-frame and Afco Shocks from Bondo Bob, Jerico dr4, Boninfante 10' single disc clutch, Dana 60 with 4.56 gears.

Wyoming when you get settled here on the East Coast PM me. Anybody who has an old orange car can't be all that
bad!

Looking real good Greg and glad to see more progress - when do you think it will be ready for some on track testing?

By the way my car still has the 3rd pedal in it albiet not functional at this time


Russ

Thanks for the info Greg. Any thoughts on what ET your shooting for ?
keep the pics coming.
Doug

Looks good Greg!

Bonifante clutches seem to be the hot set-up for NSS racers, Damon and Mark are pretty darn knowledable on them from what I hear. Cant wait to see the car in person. Planning on running any specific series?

Casey

Mark has the stick deal down. He's been doing it a while though. Hope to get to race against you next year.
Doug

I thought it would be out last year but had issues with the paint. I kind of feel snake bit but we are hoping for the spring of this year. The engine ran 10.06 in my 1969 Road Runner with a single 950 hp carb, automatic, and weighing 3,675 pounds. The Sport Fury will be lighter but the intake is more restrictive so we will see. I am hoping somewhere in the 10's.

I am going to try to hit some UMTR, NMCA, Buckeye Stock/Super Stock series, and will be at the Dave Duell Classic when finalized. I would like to race in Jeff Johnson's races and maybe some other events depending upon the children's summer sports and my work schedule.

Alright cool, Im sure I will see you at some point this year then!

You will love the Buckeye SS series! nothing like racing against NHRA/IHRA stockers and Super Stockers!
