My car is done smile The engine just needs more power..About to give up on this whole Mopar NA deal and get one of those wide valve cover deals. One more trip to the dyno and we shall see. If I could only get .50 cents on the dollar for the Mopar it would have a new home..Or we might just put it in the dragster and have some fun smile Besides playing with the little red car is a great challenge and brain buster. Hopefully we can break that next performance barrier this year!!

Another great work Shiloh. I can't wait to see your car back to track with Brett modifications in manifold. Should run quicker for sure!

Well by the looks of things I will have the intake back on Friday.. I am extremely excited.. at the moment I'm torn whether I should pull the engine out of the car and head back to the dyno so we can sort out the carburetor collector and intake all at the same time.. those are three big changes I think I almost have to go back to the dyno

How do you make the intake look like cast over the welded sections? Do you use coarse sanding rolls?

Wheelabraid or specific media blasting return the intake to a "stock" look for those who don't know better.

My opinion head back tot he dyno. Have some carb things to sort out anyway and its the best place to do it.

Always impressed with Brett's work. Your Dart is very impressive.

When I do cast aluminum mods or ah-humm "repairs", it is very important to first shape, then blast to look for any minor errors. If the part's shape is convincing, then I use a hand-held vibratory engraver to bounce over the altered, I mean REPAIRED area, and non repaired area to blend the surface finish. After that blast again. I'll post pics next time I do one of before/after.
