That would make more sense, wouldn't it? Gosh, it was 30 years ago that I discussed that car with Al. They had a 1600 mile Cuda that was a modestly competitive DA car, and they were at the point that if they really wanted to run with the big dogs, they would have to cut up a car they already knew was becoming rare and valuable. Their mph was as good as anyone's, but the stock suspension was a liability, so they switched to SS/AA, and now Al runs A-stick

Okey Guy's I saw this topic now, sorry for being slow  What can I help you with, picture of the engine will come soon. Any hidden lead is impossible to find, I have searched for years without finding it. I have some older articles made bu Mr. Rossi and about his car and engine program. I know he was on the thinn line and sometimes over the line of being SS legal. I'm in fact anal about rules as a local tech guy, so I stay on the right side of the rules, quite a bit in fact, no one should be able to say I'm cheating  My best with this moderat home built 440 sixpack is 10.21 and 131mph with a 1.39 sixty feet. The hard part is to get a good sixty feet in this car, I have worked real hard with that  So everything is exactly as it was in 1979 except for the engine and transmisson. On the great "Facebook" I'm friends with 2 past owners of the car, my old friend Joran Persaker and the loveley Sylvia Hauser. I hope I can help answering any questions  Thanks Video from this summer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR1Y6SzgDNs Challenger

I have had some questions about why I'm so slow. The reason why, is my old dream to get it as close to the way Rossi had it. So the chassie is 100% as it was, the engine is as close I could get without stretching the rules. Engine is a 1972 440 with .055 bore, pistons is from Probe, rods is std. Eagle H-beam, crank is a .010-.010 1971 forged crank, rings is childes&alberts that I prepped for real LOW tension. Camshaft is a Isky shelf cam, rockers are from Harland Sharp 1.6, beltdrive from Jesel. Well you get the point My new engine is no joke, this is an all out race engine, no funds saved, is just all out bad Hope that will get me in the mid to high 9 sec. runs. Take care

Sorry, missed the heads.
They are 906 with ferrera 2.08-1.74, compcams 999 springs.
Ported but stock size runners, c chambers are 79.5 cc
Nothing fancy but they flow good, 306 cfm at .700 lift.
I don't have the flowpapers right now.
Take care

6PACMAC yes a little epoxie on the floor, they are not maxed out, remeber I use the weiand intake. The intake is just matched to the heads not welded or epoxie in the low part of the runners. Hmmm.... quiet man that don't speak, one guy from Skelleftea and one guy from Norrkoping is the only one's that have touched the heads beside's me Take care
