Wow, very nice! Love the fact you're going with the gen 3 platform. The more builds, the more recipes to learn from!

What will be the redline with the hydraulic cam? I've heard there have been a lot of improvements in that area.

Greendart-- ﹰI was just happy to sort of get the ends of the trunk stripe to line up with the old quarterpanel stripe

J body. You get the small tasteful unicorn stickers and I'll run them. Ha ha

Joel. The target RPM is about 7200, I have been told no problem, we will see soon on the dyno

Others. thanks for the kind words and encouragement


At the track with the old car today, it is a happy car. Makes me question the sanity of building another car.

I completely understand that, I have done 3 stripes myself. Can be a challenge sometimes. Cool car for sure

Much to like here....I have seen the car around for a long time , and maybe I am not a purist , but I like the changes.
Looking forward to seeing how it works for you.

A few people get that joke, it made me laugh so it is staying on the car.

Never say never on the EFI, but bracket racing on e85 I just do not see much advantage to it. I like simple

Hey Jim, are you buying another car to replace it, or are you just done with the hobby?

EFI is da bomb, but if you like fiddling with jets, squirters, etc., then keep it simple.

Done with the fast stuff for now. I have a Jeep SRT-8 I play with a little and have been thinking of trading that for something else. For now I've just been concentrating on fixing my house so I can sell it and get more land. Good to hear from you Dave!.

Keep up the good work Rod! Everything looks great!

Jim you know to me it is a 439" to avoid that confusion.

I would like to publiclly thank Jim again for building a good car that I can make mine, and use for the way I will race it. It will see a lot of track time.

None with it on the ground. They are Weld Alumastars with 32-14/15 stiff sidewall Mickeys to start with

I'm happy to see it go to a good racer/builder and see it raced again! It should run great. Will be so cool to see how it does with the Gen3 in it! I crunched some numbers, that car always ran what it should with the power it had. 700hp @ 2800 lbs and it will go 9.40-9.20 depending on air. If you get it up to 750-800hp it will go 9.oh's or better. I'm guessing at weight savings and HP but It should be a very consistent bracket car. Foot brake around here is 9.0 or slower so it would be bottom of the class. You will be doing a lot of chasing!

Looking good cant wait to see it in person. One that "got away" but life is all about timing.

Wow. So cool. I dig it.

It's especially nice that it was "kept in the family" so to speak.
