Wow, very cool, I'm building a stock eliminator car, a 66 Coronet 500, finished up the 383 motor, dyno'd pretty strong. Now I'm going after the body and chassis. Thanks for the picture, looking forward to seeing it finished.

I hope you know that running a 383 is awful hard in stock. The carb is too small to really give some good HP. I looked at the dart 383 combo and could not make it work. I belive your car is a natural "g" car right


Ah...so many pedestrians, so little time...

I'd think besides the 67 it'd be one of the cheapest mopars around. 66-67 coronets and chargers get no love




You can say that again. I ve been building one for a couple of years and it pretty close for reassembly. I currently have it for sale and i dont even get tire kickers calling


I have removed everything possible to keep the weight down. I expect it to be right at 3000 lbs

(NOT MY CAR JUST A COOL 67 SEDAN)

The same combination in Jim Hale's 383 F/SA 67 Barracuda runs 1.00 under anytime he wants to. Weight break for my car is 12.74, making it a natural J car. Key for my 66 car is the "915" 1.60 exhaust valve heads that are now legal for '66 cars. The "516" heads are not as good for stock, which is what the '66 cars were limited to in the past, not so now. My 4131 carburetor was built by Dean Oliver to Stock Eliminator rules, he did an incredible job, plenty of fuel. A stock rebuild of that carb will not cut it, you're right. We did eight or ten pulls on the dyno, and had good numbers. Overall, I think it's a great combination. I'd be interested to hear what you tried with your car, thanks.

when I looked at it, we had to use the older heads. I know dean quite well, he does great work on all carbs. I am trying to find someone here in California to store my F/SA Duster

A friend of mine in has an original '66 sedan hemi car ex- super stocker. He rolled it over the Certified scale for me and it weighed 37and change.

As he called it " A bit chubby "


So the bartender says to the horse " Gee, Why the long face?"
