Car went 145 mph on the shakedown run. Tim says it had plenty left in it. Engine developed an oil leak so that ended the fun for the day.
Awesome! That thing was movin' for a shakedown run. 
What did he feel the potentional MPH at that track with current setup?

A glass hood would be a good idea. The steel hood weighs 40 lbs and it limits the air cleaner clearance. A TA style hood or a cowl induction is probably what I'd put on the car.
Tim would in the mood to sell the car yesterday after the oil leak put him on the trailer early. Get your offer in there before he changes his mind and you might just have yourself one of the few Valiants that will hit 150mph on a road race course.

Teardown is yet to occur, appears to be leaking from rear of pan. This is a custom Charlies pan, and he did a nice job. Its my own design to maintain ground clearance its not very deep, but even with kickouts and Accusump its not enough.
The pan doesn't use a gasket. 100% RTV all the way round. Yes, it was hospital clean at assembly, wiped down with brakleen several times. Beads on both sides, squished out nice on assembly. Worked great in the past.
With the old motor the car was about as fast as a C5 Z06, should be able to run with a C6 Z06 once sorted out. Brakes surpassed expectations, never a shortage of power, it just kept pulling as if the wind wasn't there.
Andy's on the right path, I'm ready for something different. If he is willing to unload the 427 motor, I might have a roller for sale.

  That's really incredible.

Please don't sell it over a leak and lack of a pan. Hotchkis had a custom aluminum Moroso pan that leaked also. They went back and forth, still leaked. It was on their self collecting dust.
I'm workin' on a pan deal. Just getting caught up after pulling two motor/trans' and installing one in a two week period out of a home garage and a complete new suspension on the car.
You've probably got the fastest road race street Mopar in the world right now. Wait until the article comes out and you get some well deserved recognition. You've conquered these challenges in the past. And you will get by this on too.

I might be interested in that car as a roller, or possibly with the motor. PM me a price. Ron. Or, dragrcr97@charter.net
