Thanks Hemiriod.. I plan on racing in NSS maybe a heads up Hemi class if they have one...

Don't know if you can race nss with a rack and 14x32 slicks though. I'm pretty sure tech would have broke your stones about the vice-grip steering aparatus it was delivered with. Cool car !!

DrJayO maybe I'll run with NENDRA? What do you think? Oh by the way about the vise-grip how did you know it was delivered to me like that?

DrJayO good observation and I wasn't starting problems believe me its been nice and quite here.. Just thought maybe you were getting fed some info once again from outside resources... And as far as running with NENDRA I was joking I don't want any part of that association and I'm sure there are a bunch of great guys in there. You know how I feel about the President!!! As far as tires SS 14x32 are legal size aren't they?

Yes you can run up to a 14.5x32 in S/S, but you can not run a fab rear. Jake

Most run 9 in. fords. some dana's.gears from 5.29's-5.60's. On a ford you have to start with a factory housing and build from there. You have a sheet metal fab unit. Jake

Re: 65 SS Hemi Belvedere Picture Update!!!!! - 09/24/10 02:01 AM

i just went back and looked at your pictures and you may get some flack for the sheet metal floor in trunk area. That rear looks nice but if you go fast and get noticed someone may say somethhing about those two items. Jake

Posted By: dannysbee

Re: 65 SS Hemi Belvedere Picture Update!!!!! - 09/24/10 02:35 AM

The housing or the trunk floor would not be legal in a NHRA legal Super Stocker but would be fine in a NSS?

Hi Jake thanks for that info.. I didn't plan on running SS I wouldn't even attempt it.. Your correct about the rear I spoke today with John Holt and it has to start out as a factory Ford 9" rear but it can be modifed... The center section I have is a Mark Williams it was in Mike Bookers 68 SS Hemi Cuda it has 5:43 gears in it no wonder why those cars leave the way that they do... The power plant I have was also in his car in 2005.. It was a Barton Hemi all correct to SS specs.. I plan on running the car is a NSS class if the break my chops I'll bracket race the car but I think the NSS class would want that car in there class.. I will just have to change rear tires..

It will have to be lettered to run the 422 series, though.

Thats great I think once te car is tuned in it should run in the 8's...When you say letter can it just say Plymouth on the back quarters?

Re: 65 SS Hemi Belvedere Picture Update!!!!! - 09/24/10 04:09 AM

That would be sufficient. One of the cars just says "rich's nightmare" in 4 or 6" letters. (Rich is the guy that runs 422.)

I just read there rules for 422 looks like a have an issue with my motor.. I have a Barton 426 SS Hemi and it has a legal SS sheetmetal intake.. I wont go to a cast intake this motor makes big power and the intake is a big part of that.. It has correct holley carbs though...

Re: 65 SS Hemi Belvedere Picture Update!!!!! - 09/25/10 02:37 AM

For 422, a hemi or wedge motor can have any intake as long as it has two carbs. We plan to change to the Indy box ram for next year on the 493 wedge motor. I would talk to Rich. A few cars are running fabricated intakes, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I been watching this thread... Very nice car you have.
The Barton Intake is better than the Cast MP version Like I have, not a bunch better, but its better. Matter of fact the new MP version is based off the Barton Intake.
These intake are no where in comparison to a sheet metal setup. Id say anything over 800-850Hp will be about it for the cast type Intakes.
Not saying people havent made more with one, but not stock, lots of porting. And heck I figured If Im going to have $1200+ in port work, it just seems smarter to save on the port work, sell it and take the money and invest in a sheet metal intake.
Thats what I plan to do. I had modern Cylinder cnc my heads, and that MP cross ram OOTB was no where near fitting. Probably 3/8 ich needed to be removed.
I havent weighed my junk yet, it is pretty much all steel except the hood, and both bumpers. Heavy truck Dana. interior is stripped down pretty good. Im hoping it will weigh in the 3500-3550 max with driver, but Im not sure. Cam is way off, carbs are way small. Shoot Im just hoping this junk could competitively run the 10'oh class

getting it close with the intake.

Hey Bob thanks for chiming in and the compliment.. Your car is a sweet also.. Your car went 1.07 60ft? Thats serious 60ft from that car.. But as far as the intake your right sheet metal make more power I have no choice my deck must be cut 1/2" and thats no BS...

Not according to the rules on the Mo-power site. There is no mention of 4 links being legal, just leaf springs and ladder bars. The other thing I spotted while going over the rules was no glides.

I called 4 people and never once did they mention anything about those links. Anyway Ill have to call Mike up thanks..If you look at most of the oil pan with the center link hole in them the hole is lower from the top of the oil pan rail. I guess the motor sat much lower in Bookers Cuda..

Nice looking K member but you might want to box in the steering box mounting bracket. It will flex and it will crack over time.....don't ask me why I know.

I will send you over some pics of the mods on my frontend by John Holt. Moly crosslink, tie rods and pitman arm replaced with moly ends. Done just like the AH cars are now. Makes removing motor or frontend ajustments a snap, plus much safer.

He ordered a set of QA1 double adjustable for the front and rear... Do you run stock stock front strut rods or aftermarket?

Looks well thought out. I'm jealous of the strut rods.

Re: 65 SS Hemi Belvedere Picture Update!!!!! - 10/22/11 04:28 AM

PoppaJ I'll have to ask him where they came from im not sure he was against me running the stock ones for some reason even though I had bought a set. He told me they take a good beating the strut rods in these heavy b body cars... Oh I cant wait for next yr car should be done by then I plan on hitting all the big Mopar events but I really want to make Norwalk and Columbus shows and others... Its been a long time coming but its worth the wait I guess... My motor is apart as well right now my engine builder found some issues that could of been very catastrophic thanks god....

Car looks very nice, people never see the fabrication that goes into these cars just the finished part.Gotta couple questions,I'm doing a 64 Savoy, who made the struts and steering parts,through the oil pan, that come apart easy?
Also what intake are you using,i think you said you had a sheet metal type,i got a Hogan crossram and its tall. Is your engine lowered or spacers between k-frame? I'll be watching this post till the end, thanks for all the insight.

I ton of work went into this car.. 80% had to be redone because of issues with it. The oil pan is a Moroso SS A-body oil pan that was modified as you can see because of the center link. The strut bars were custom after market I will have to ask the chassis guy who makes them thay are real nice and adjustable which is what he said I needed. The steering is factory steering box with factory steering column that he modified and installed a roller bearing at the bottom of shaft for support. Its all factory front end parts.. The parts come apart easily.. The engine is in the factory height and location it was not moved forward or back he worked off the factory crossmember... I have a sheet metal crossram sound like its the same as yours..

Re: 65 SS Hemi Belvedere Picture Update!!!!! - 07/14/12 03:42 PM

I don't have my sfi book in front of me for the bar number, but the vertical bar of the FC cage addition by your left shoulder has to have a bar running from the rear lower of the door x bar to underneath that vertical for support.

Are there any diagonal braces in your roof as well? I'm not trying to be a dick, but it would just suck to paint it and not get it to pass tech, I'm guessing your aiming for 25.5 withe the cage additions.

Love the car.

You might be right on the bars if it was going to be a 25.5 car but the new chassis guy would of had to cut out the whole entire cage I wasn't about to do that. So ill have to settle for 8.50 chassis...

Mike Roth sells the bushings that go onto the tie rod ends, they allow the center link to easily drop out, I have them on my 65, Roth modified my center link to accept them, they are pricey but pretty cool.
