Do you know what happened to your old 440 Dart convertible? Gene Buehl told me he owned it at one time after you sold it in VTVL I have no idea what happened to that car. Maybe got sold to some Japanese Guy and exported? I have been racing my Hellcat. Put 272 passes on it. I sold it as soon as the 2018 Demon was on the official Dodge web site back in Jan/Feb. I have the money for the car and I am in a real good position to get one. I hope to get one from Glendora Dodge. I am dealing with Matt from Parts and the Gen Manager Lonnie and he seems to be sincere. Cab, I worked at SCE for 25 years and at CalTech for 13 years and I LOVED my Job at CalTech. But they changed out all the management and then I walked out one day and never went back. The last straw was they screwed with my lunch. Wish me luck on that SRT Demon. It will be amazing. Ron. That is a lot of passes on the hellcat, what was your best ET? and did you ever have any problems with it? 1965 Plymouth Barracuda 273 M/SA 1970 Plymouth Duster 360/904 10.60s with J heads

I cant remember if the R3 block was 48 or 59 degrees and I can't remember what he used for heads on it. I was building the 517" Chapman headed low deck at about the same time and we were comparing notes along the way, especially on the cam. And it blew my mind when he did the rifle drilled crank....wow! That was a really fun era on Moparts a lot of cool cars were being built along that time, and I miss a lot of our dearly departed as well. If anybody see's Ron please tell him Wize says hello and he always has my best regards. Last edited by Streetwize; 06/28/23 08:51 AM.
