How many of you are planning changes for 2014? What are they? Jim is going thru my chassis and we will get it to certify for the 9.xx or better. I am quite happy with the engine so no changes there. I have also asked him to drive the beater next year!

Parking my dart to go through it and do some bodywork, but recently acquired this from the old man to keep me entertained...
We built it as I was growing up, so I'm glad it's staying in the family

Some small changes in the works, but I just want to go through it then drive/race the wheels off it

Parking the Hemi Cuda until I figure out what is up with it....Still runs, but every time I take it to the track it has a hesitation I am unable to find.

But for the 2013 Championship winning Duster, we have a small list of upgrades I am hoping to do:

1-Wilwoods on all four corners
2-Relocate the master cylinder to the chassis
3-New slicks
4-Finish the tin work for the interior
5-Finish painting the floor and cage
6-Bigger fire extinguisher
7-Cut out rear cross sub-frame that's badly notched for clearance and install a new tubular one
8-Fix oil leak
9-Tubular upper A-arms
10-SV1 carburator
11-re-scale the car

Whatever money & time allows

Well I hope to have the Daytona out by April. That will depend on $$$'s. I'm installing my tried and true W2 416 in it.

Time and motivation to work on the car seems to slow things down around here, but I'm still hoping to get a hit on the car this year. We've caged it, went to a coil over tube K set up which means the headers won't fit..getting that handled tuesday. That should be the biggest hurdle to getting the car completed with the 400hp iron head 360 combo up and running. The W8/R3 combo should be done shortly also and will require another set of headers so we'll need to adapt to a little more HP when that's completed. I'm just hoping to hit a few mopar events (MaTS, Famoso, Sacramento) as well as run at the new track in Phoenix and hopefully return to Fontana as they should be going in 2014. If not, I'll just hit some Vegas races.

Under my budget constraints nothing major.
Some tires & a little chassis work to make it hook.
I'm probably going to hit it with a little giggle gas as well since I already have the setup.

My main focus for 2014 is to just get out to some different tracks and have some fun.

Am still trying to buy that 27T roadster 1850 lbs S/C S/G car but me thinks the guy imagines he has "gold" instead of a used race car.

Me too. I'm tired of reaching for the stars when I don't have the budget for it. I'm scaling my plans WAY back and just want to make some passes next year. I've been spectating for 10 years and am tired of it.

Dennis...I think we are going to stay local. No sense driving a bunch of miles when the payouts/entry fees really aren't that bad here. It would be fun to hit one of the big Mopar events but I don't see it happening.

Well going for more street than strip sometimes costs more money so progress will be slow.Pulling the race clutch and drivetrain out and putting a street friendly setup in .Pulling the spool and gear and installing a powerlock unit.Mount a hoodscoop I bought a few years back and paint the old girl.

Ted I have been collecting parts to get ready for paint(emblems, door handles, bumpers, window rubber,etc...) You know the drill I don't want to put corroded pitted or rusted parts on a fresh paint job

Same as every year run Street Eliminator Points at my home track with the Dart and try
to repeat as track champion and I hope to have my new pump gas 408 done and in before Points start. Possibly a little touch up paint work if funds allow. Run my D150 at a few Mopar meets and truck races.

Depends on if I find a new garage to work out of soon. If I do, then I will go through the 340 in the Mirada, install the 727/8.75, and make some passes. If I don't, I will just Bee playing around on test and tune nights and Mopar shows.

Try to get this thing going. At least ready for some shows. N/A hopefully some 9.0's Long road, but my builder and I are rolling up our sleeves.

It would look sweet with a hat, but the carbs are very well behaved, even just tooling around town.


Know anyone looking for a good deal on a nice Cuda'???

Not really sure. We are trying to decide what to do. I will concentrate on S/ST until the spring Vegas race and try and get the Jegs Allstar spot.
Once that is decided I am not really sure. But I guess since it will be free to run a few national events we will likely do that in S/C. Will freshen up the bulet after the spring Vegas race and just try and enjoy the remainder of the year. Take 2015 off and try and get the TS car ready..

Unless the USAF has other plans which may be happening again sooner than we want

Install a larger fuel return line and get the headers re-coated, I would like to do paint and body work on it but that will probably be next year, truck need's it worse.

Not really sure. We are trying to decide what to do. I will concentrate on S/ST until the spring Vegas race and try and get the Jegs Allstar spot.
Once that is decided I am not really sure. But I guess since it will be free to run a few national events we will likely do that in S/C. Will freshen up the bulet after the spring Vegas race and just try and enjoy the remainder of the year. Take 2015 off and try and get the TS car ready..

Unless the USAF has other plans which may be happening again sooner than we want

Chris, Not anymore. With the evolution of the cars it just needed to be totally redne to be competitve and that was something I was not wanting to do. I let go of it as a roller but kept all the HS goodies. However I am working on obtaning a more suitable car

Well I wrecked the Daytona September 2010 and have been racing the Duster for two years now. At its current weight (2850) its gone 10.08 with a very mild 408 on pump gas 93. Its gone 6.29 in the 1/8 mile so I am going to see how close to a 5.99 I can go next year with Edelbrock heads. I bought some used Strange struts, brakes, coils, and spindles off a Friend for 100 dollars and he is going to install them for another 500 in the next week or two. Then I can get black aluma-stars to match the back. I would love to finish the Daytona and install my B1 heads on the 572 and do some limited Top Sportsmen racing at some IHRA divisional events. I have three engines to rebuild for myself so far this Winter so I will be busy.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

The new car performed well, but always trying to improve. Working to get it to run better in the first half of the track. Going to look into the trans and converter, check the rod bearings and be ready to go. Aiming at bettering my finishes of this year. 1 win,1 runner up,3 semis.

No real changes for me. I just want to drive and race my car and enjoy it. I hit my goal but sometime I plan to try a singleplane intake and maybe a Dominator. Ron

I really want to have Big Squeeze rebuild my low gear 904 and have another converter built for it.

It went a new best of 11.23@119.5 friday night and I think in the same awesome air it might go a 10.9999999 with the low gear trans and a little more converter. 11.20s is faster than I ever thought this pump gas 360 would go in my 3500lb(with driver) ride.

I also am going to try very hard to do Drag Week with my Dad again. But my wife and I have our first child due any day now and I understand that will have an impact on my time and money?

Lighten the car and driver up a bit.

Just a few changes to make it a better bracket car. Motor and trans are both failry fresh and should be ready to go another year. Obviously I'll be checking valve springs and such before it goes back out.

Try to keep the front of the car lower than the guard rails and straight! See the video in my thread and you will see what I am talking about!

Aspen is getting the passenger header put on. New slicks and maybe a roll bar, not sure on that yet.

Then hope to get other 2 project cars done and one sold.

Hit the track and have some fun. Its going to be a bit of work though. The car has not been raced for 15 years so it needs some work. I also need to get my 68 Fury wagon in shape to tow the 64 440 to the track. Now that I am unemcumbered by a spouse I have more free time and money. Maybe I'll be ready by June, August at the latest. Perhaps I can meet some of you fellers at GLD. I can't wait!!

Got a good start on mine today....Cross one item off the list

7-Cut out rear cross sub-frame that's badly notched for clearance and install a new tubular one----COMPLETE, just needs paint!

Whatever money & time allows
(and I did not plan on buying a newer Dodge diesel, which has put a dent in the pocket book)

Having the Indy ez-1s opened up to full port and a custom grind cam to match. Also, replacing the manual water pump with an electric pump. Had a new best last night 9.95 @ 135. Now, it's time to beat it!

Drop 4 points or so compression, cam swap and drive the stupid thing on the streets again. I'm sick of seeing it collecting dust. Now if I wasn't so busy with work I could get out in the garage and start taking the motor out...

Just keep plugging away with my project, how it progresses will depend on how I go finding work for 2014. I have a couple of contracts that finish in about 3 weeks.

I hope to get at least one of my prototype cylinder heads made. Other than that, adding a vacuum pump, starter, and a new set of DA front shocks to control wheelstands a little better.

As far as actually racing goes, I might make the Dragway 42 race Jan 1, 2014. If it's dry, I'll take the wife's Volvo, as it should run close to the 20.14 index without much trouble!
As far as announcing goes, I still have one more Loose Rocker Promotions race this year (Fall Footbrake Frenzy V at Piedmont in NC Thanksgiving Weekend). Next year I'll do 3-4 races for Loose Rocker and 3-5 (or more ) for Summit Motorsports Park. I plan on attending the World Footbrake Challenge in July at Bristol as a spectator, maybe with a bit of mic time, and I have a couple of other possibilities out there that I'm waiting on.
Amazingly enough, I'm not bothered that I did not make a single pass down the track this year. I used to get really antsey wanting to race when I announced, but the past few years I've realised that this keeps me involved, people pay me to do something I like, and I don't get bored waiting hours between runs.

upgrading the fuel system and still trying to make a decision on the headers so I can finish tuning in the E-85, next winter will be tearing the car completely apart and re-doing the body work and paint from bumper to bumper, it's starting to get some battle scars after 14 years.

I hope to finish this pile I've been dabbling with for the past 6 years. I'll have to admit it's had a bunch of scope creep after I started hanging around here.

I'm building a new set of stepped headers with merge collectors, will be heading down to AZ mid-February for the NHRA national event at Wild Horse Pass, and also the (2) Div. 7 races at the end of Feb. Maybe will make the Vegas races at the end of Mar, then the first Div. 5 race in Great Bend, KS. Sometime during the 2014 season I plan to change out my 850 Holley body to a 1000 CFM Proform that I bought last summer.

wow just saw this.

Well I guess some waht big plans.

First is to get the Duster to the track atleast a couple of times. New paint, new carb, new rims, new tires and new brakes to name a few of the new things on it. Gotta make a showing...

I bought a 63 Baja bug a couple months ago, it needs some little things I am not happy with. Then hit the trails here in AZ. That should be fun.See pic

Also bought a 71 Torino GT to have as a fun car I can go anywhere with. totally stock and plan to keep it that way.

Start to get the interior of the bus finished. So it looks halfway decent.

Then there is the secret project. I know the motor is being built as money has passed hands and pics of progress have been sent. The chassis is underway, parts purchased and all that fun stuff. The painter is lined up so it is rolling. I was told it would be back in my hands by May/June time frame. Then to paint and if all the planets align, passes in Oct when it is starting to cool off.

That is it.

I am in the process of gathering parts to build a KB low deck Predator 540, thanks to Steve Gill and Boatracer 572. Hoping for a screaming dragster motor about mid year.

Just a few things to tend to:

1. Get rid of the crappy FC dizzy and switch to a crank trigger.
2. Change to a 4.56 gear from the 4.10's.
3. Try and lower and maybe even move the engine back a little if possible.
4. Look for a few more ways to try and whittle off another 50lbs or so.

I still need to put the heads back on and put the car back together. changing the rear wheels to beadlocks and new slicks and hook up the 2nd stage of nitrous.

My only plans are....

1. To get the Rocky in the tens...looks Like I have to take some gear out of it and get more fuel to the motor to do it.

2 To finish porting the 337 manifold and try it out on the 517 against the Max ported Indy Dual Plane.

3. To build the 440" small block W2 Tunnel Ram motor...even though I don't have anything to drop it in at the moment

New stainless step headers, hopefully a new intake manifold and loose a couple more pounds. Hopefully 5.teens are in my future. Make the car go under 1.2 consistently in 60'. Pile up some win tickets. Go to "The Strip"....

To get out at least a few times, and to get out early in the year for a Test & Tune day, so I can actually spend some time finding some ET.

We'll see if my daughters Fastpitch schedule allows for this, though.

As of now I don't know What is going to happen for sure! Funds are getting low! I should be able to get new shocks for the front but any glass parts may be out of reach! If I don't find 2 ounces of gold my entire season may be in jeopardy!!

Get this out of the trailer more than twice and actually run it down a track again.


Of course, that means new rear tires, probably an anti-roll bar, and I'll want to do the tighter converter it needs. Oh, and have to get the belts re-cert'ed. With a right converter, it'll need a window net, chassis cert (and that will require finally adding the diagonal down bars behind the seats).

Maybe I'll just leave it in the trailer for another year.

Always thought your car was wasted with that small block, good choice on replacement, plenty of HP in that combination.

Car is at the chassis shop getting lowered 2 inch. To do this they built a custom sump, narrowed the rear and inboarded the leaf springs.
Whilst it was there it also had a rear anti roll bar fitted, 'chute mount, chrome moly prop, D/A rear shocks and Wilwoods fitted to the Dana.
Should have it back next week after being baselined with the 580 motor.
All we have to do after that is beef the 'box up some more and the 655 can go in
Then we have the 68 Barracuda to do, 'box is done and the motor for this starts very soon, just a warmed over 318 with mildly worked '308 heads. Should be a fun daily driver.

After running pump gas for the last 3 years I can tell you that your going to LOVE it. My next years small block build is going race gas or alcohol just to push the limits some then I will probably switch my Duster over to a big block to get it in the eights.


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Thanks to the Siberian winter, progress has been slow, but the carb is now on the ported intake and I prettied up a few things as I work my way into the fuel system.
