Does anyone know whatever became of Ron and that badazz 500" SB Dart of his?
I was looking for it in the tech archives I couldn't find anything. I think (I don't rememeber exactly) it was a Siamese R3 block and it was like 4.22" Bore and a rifle drilled 4.5" stroke crank.
I remembered we ran the exact same Bullet cam lobes/Grind in his 501" small block and my 517" big block.

Thanks!!
It's Funny how memory fades, i could have sworn that motor was over 500" and it was a Dart not a Valiant. (correction ...it WAS 501" so (I hope) I'm not losing my mind! yet! Ron's call-out name of 449Valiant I guess threw me off)
I think they call it " The Mandella effect"
Thank you!
I really liked Ron from the moment we met and The Mopar Nats when the guy from Miami bought his car and Dave Duceck's Challenger the same weekend. I always enjoyed his posts and respected him tremendously, I hope he and his family are all happy and well.

Met Ron at Speed World years back when he owned the Demon. Nice guy and super smart. We were both on the HellCat/Demon forums for a bit, and I'm sure he's still on it.

he's on hellcat.org and I think just sold or is selling his Demon because he got a deal worked out on a D170.

We talked the other day when I found out he lives in AZ as well and he sold it ages ago but it's up for sale again for $50,000 from what Ron said. We will be hanging out soon here and I'll get more info...

Seen Ron at the Mopar race up here and at Irwindale a time or two. Smart guy who built some really nice stuff. Seems to have a really good handle on the hellcat stuff as well.
