Ok, So I got this car and my dart. This car weighs 2340 with 260 lb driver and a steel block. It had a 540 chevy, but I am going with my engine combo. See the headers? should I do the same? It will cost me an extra grand to have someone make me something different. No big tech tracks around here, but just looks to ( loss for words here) yuky and un neccessary. My engine is a B1 bb with 2 3/8 tubes. The chevy was in it before I got it. Just weekend racing at 3 or 4 local tracks. Give me some ideas and input if you would please. Its all a funnel for money anyways

I wonder why someone built a nice car like that and used 4 bolt hubs in the front. My Duster used a old Ford Capri set-up like that and plug welded the holes closed and redrilled it for 5 bolt 4 inch Mopar pattern. There wasn't enough meat to go 4 1/2 inch pattern so I could update my Centerlines so it just cost me a lot of money for new struts, brakes, hubs, and soon new wheels.
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

That's good, I did some body repair and a repaint on Joe Chrisman's old promod stealth after he bumped wall at StLouis I believe it was. Made from same molds as yours I am sure, never seen another one so that's why I asked. Had a blown alky hemi in it and same setup for zoomies in front of rockers and notched out windshield like yours. He sold it soon after he got it back out of my shop, that was many years ago.

The guy I bought the car off of told me there was either 3 or 5 of these bodies made and he drove North East from Alabama to pick up the only one they had left. He did tell me they were built for a pro Mod. I will ask him more in a bit. He gets off work at 530.
