What are the specs on your lil 318?

Stock stroke 318, aluminum heads, air gap, solid cam, 750 Holley HP, 904 trans.

So you forgot to remove the floor jack?





Congrats.

LOL, thanks Tom! Tons of passes with 340 cars and I finally manage to pull a tire with a wee 'teen.

That is cool and a nice looking ride.

Not that it will go faster painted, but any plans to paint that car?

nice effort

Tex

Congrats girl..on both the new best and
lifting the front end

Thanks, we pulled it out of a field and threw a bunch of leftover parts in it for a bracket car. It's a fun little car.

Yes, eventually it will be painted. Still debating the color?

Thank you Mike!

any plans for wheelie bars!!!

NICE..........I remember the first time I saw light under my tires and was so jazzed...........

Congrats DG!

I no see tire off ground.

lol! Not even close to that.

It's small compared to a lot on here, but it made my day. lol

First time I looked I didn't see it either, but it's in the shadow.

Also can see it in this video:

Thanks! xoxo

Very cool! Put some laps on it and have fun.

Needs more purple.

Congrats you can see the air in the 2nd video, nice work.

Gary

Thank you Gary! And be quiet Shoozy, lol.

Have you weighed the car?

Did you mention cam and compression ratio?

We weighed it at Norwalk a couple years ago, I think it was around 3,200 pounds?

.557 cam, compression I don't know. Husband is the crew chief/mechanic and he's not here right now, I'm just the driver, lol.

Thanks.

Well you have one car ready for that 11.50
race.. good luck

New bests are fun, wheelies make it more interesting.

Good job man. Nice run.

Congrats as it looks great. Ron

Congratulations. You gotta love new bests, and wheelies.

Nice!!!

Nice work! Congrats

Good Job Duster Girl, is that the 904 you bought from me?

the wheel is off at 38 seconds on the video.

Dig it...

As they say, "You go Girl"
Congrats.

Yes, that's your old 904! It's one badass little transmission, I really like it.

Thanks guys! Except for purple Jer, you stink.

It sounds like if you like what you have now you would love a 4 inch stroke crank to lift them higher
Torque is the answer to the solution

LOL, it's just that I like Sportsman class and that would kick me out of it. Maybe one day. This is a super low buck engine so I'm happy with mid 11's out of it.

Runs great and will last along time. the faster you go the more it costs and of course when it breaks, I wish I would have stayed with my small 318 that ran 12.00 all day long.

Very Nice.
Doug

YES........ I saw it this vid, drivers side.
congratulations.

Thanks! Hope to see you at MM.

Thanks! I know, I couldn't see it at first either because of that darn shadow. Hopefully will get some better shots at Monster Mopar.

Very nice, congrats!

nice car very cool

Nice run!! Congrats!

Thanks guys!! Appreciate it, my drag racing friends are the best.

Cool running car. 11.50 or better with what you got is great. Love those 557 MP cams, good piece. Keep at it.

Good deal there DG!! Congrats. See you this weekend!

I like the body style

Yes, I can't wait!

Wow good going, we cant get our 318 out of the 14's

Nice DG, and yes I'm back. Finally about to get a new motor in the "POS Pedal Car"

Not sure exactly what though maybe re-hash the 470...

DOUG!!! I've missed you! Get to work on that '67.

Got a better wheels up shot at Monster Mopar last weekend in the 11.5 class:

Find a lighter driver...

LMAO...I could be like the guy I met that weighed 400 pounds but put aluminum screws in the headlight buckets to save weight.

Is the back up high because of tire clearance, about a 4-5" drop would make the car work much better if it's possible.

Well done on the best. In that last picture I like that looking at the air cleaner you can see the engine twisting (not a criticism). The stacks on our 70 RR move a lot even with solid mounts both sides. Of course the rust molecules are barely holding hands on our car......

Yes it is, we've dropped it already about as much as we could!

That was the first thing my husband saw when he looked at the picture...the angle of the air cleaner! It bugs him every time he looks at the picture.

Still racing your Road Runner?

It's begun, 511 should be done in 2 months or so.

Is your husband also an engineer? We tend to notice things like that.

Not as much as we used to. The track has had some problems and lately they switched to running events on Sunday instead of Saturday. Sunday is sailing day on our friend's trimaran that we race. Plus Monday is a long day for my wife so it is harder for her to go on Sundays. However, they have just started an every other Friday open track. Went down to check it out, looks like it will be fun. Problem is our car really needs some serious structural work. Will probably do some patching for the next event on the 18th then start ordering from AMD. I will probably be found in the restoration section for a while. Fortunately, it only has to be better than it is, which is a pretty low bar. Actually looking forward to learning more about the body panel replacement believe it or not. Already have the rectangular tubing to make frame connectors.
