This was my project over the last four years. It has a .03 over 11.5:1 440/727 with 3.90 narrowed Ford 9" with a fourlink rear and Pinto front stub, full tube frame with 10pt cage.

Motor specs
1966 .03 over 440
11.5:1 CR
915 heads, ported
Howards Cams 722401 solid lifter .518/.533 lift,288/290 ad dur,246/252@.05,110LSA
Harland Sharp 1.5 rockers
M1 intake
Hedman shortie hedders
Race Demon 1000cfm carb
Now it is time for wheels/tires, and a higher stall torque converter.


Here are a some videos.

Walk around and burnout.

Didn't really get a chance to talk to you at the drags.

Did you build this purposely for the ice drags? Or is this for asphalt as well?

Is it going to be street legal? I'd love to see the look on a Mustang, Camaro, 'vette, whatever, owners face when you pulled up next to him at a light or on the strip.
Pretty cool.

It has plates and insurance. Got it done mid Oct. Drove it to work a couple times. I started building it for stock altered but that class went away. I thought it would be a fun car on the street also. It gets some funny looks when you idle thru town with the big tires in the back and the loping exaust!

The driveshaft is 6" long joint center to joint center.

Wow, awesome! I'd image you must get some real looks when cruising around town.

Being a CIVIC, I thought it would have at least 6" exhaust tips on it.
Pretty cool,and a lot of work,I'm sure.Welcome to the nightmare known as Moparts!!

I love seeing people think outside of the box! Cramming a big engine into a tiny, lightweight car is the very essence of hot rodding. That thing has got to be a hoot to drive on the street! The import boys will be scratching their collective heads when they hear the sound of your car. They probably ask you what exhaust system you have that makes your 4 cylinder sound like a V-8.

Guess I missed that one.NO coffee yet.I see you were running hedman headers as well.
I would think it would do better with a lot less gear being so light.

I look forward to some et's on pavement.

That won't allow for much suspension travel will it? Is that with a shorty trans?

On the street it spins with tires I had. I have some 325/50R15 BFG Drag Radials for next summer.

I have 4" of travel at the joint.

I'm very anxious to hear what it does with a tire under it! If I still lived in WI I'd be begging for a ride come spring.
