Well, I don't get out much, and all my junk needs work to get it running....So I borrowed my engine builders 69 Dart I affectionately call crusty...Its like barn find fresh....Well, we wore out the old 512 from 2010, and it has a fresh 440 in it. Nothing fancy, and it went a 7.24 off the trailer at 99.7mph...Never got another pass due to rain, but for a legal tagged street car with mufflers I was delighted it went that fast.
The ram air would not fit with the new intake and adapter, so there is another tenth in it when we get that fixed....It certainly misses the big engine, but was quicker than my prediction.

Looks great. Perpetual barn freshness is not a bad place to be!
