NEW BEST Mopars at the valley Junkyard 360 magnum

Car has no roll bar, Has been running 11.20's last couple times out on motor.
They told my son at tech, Don't go faster than 11.50
1st pass off the trailer it goes 11.185 on the brakes LOL

guess its time for a roll bar, because he wants to start using the plate again ! LOL

Nice ,, roll bars are good for safety but adding extra lbs stinks.

I am assuming junkyard short block with heads, cam , and intake? Magnum or LA?
Doug

was a complete junkyard engine with an intake and a cam. was going 12 teens on motor, best of 10.90 on a plate

Ball honed it, put a standard bore flattop in it. Edelbrock heads, and a slightly bigger cam.

Still a street driven everywhere car, pump gas,

Went 7.03 three times in the 1/8 so im assuming it will go 10.9x on motor now

The air was great also, 270' and only 38 water grains
It has been running 11.20s in the summer

More people need to know about this 360 Magnum.

They also stiffen up the chassis to allow for the quick elapsed times.
So in my opinion it’s good weight.

Agreed , it will stiffen the car and help with ET sometimes but they are still heavy. And a PITA to get around when you are old like me. LOL

Not sure it's an apples-to-apples comparison, but my junk was stuck in the 11.0s when it ran 7.0s in the 1/8th; had to start dipping into the 6.9s to squeak out a best of 10.97 w/ that build.

I’m OLD as well but consider climbing over my non swing out roll cage side bar EXERCISE! 🤪👍

Well you would get a kick out of seeing my fat, smelly, old azz climbing in and out of my drivers side window every time I pull my car in and out of my enclosed trailer.

Dang I can't get that picture out of my mind now LOL

Now to add to the story I have been known to wear short shorts in our sweaty ball Pa summer weather. 😂

Sounds like it is time for a good electric winch in your enclosed car trailer

Nice!!!...care to give details of the build? weight?

JUNKYARD magnum 360.
ballhone, flattop forged piston standard bore, zero deck , rings gapped LOOSE .035 , because we like to SPRAY
Stock recon rods, replaced rod bolts
ATI damper (Got to have one good piece keeping the stock crank and rods in there..LOL )
Comp Cam ( I don't know the specs, cam card at home)
Ported Edelbrock heads
RPM air gap intake
Brawler carb, I think its an 850
Small headers I had laying around from the late 70's 3.5" exhaust to some stubby race mufflers with an X pipe
PTC 9.5" converter, stock rebuilt 904 , low first gear 2.76 ( NO man valve body)
Ford explorer 8.8 rear with stock 4.10 gears, ford motorsport posi unit, stock axles

im pretty sure it weighs 3200 with him in it

Its not my car, so that why some stuff im not 100% on...LOL

What does it 60-ft, and what MPH did it make in the 1/8th on those 7.0 passes?

NOT SURE ON THE MPH, BUT IT PRINTS TIMESLIPS CONSITSTENT LOL

1.54 , 7.03 EVERY PASS 3 TIMES THAT DAY IN A ROW

I'll take a s.w.s.w.a.g. it's running 97-98 MPH in the 1/8th, and would have gone 11.0-11.1 at 121-122 in the 1/4. His 1/8th #s are very close to what mine were for a solid 11.0 pass. It took a 1.51 60, a 6.9x at 98+ 1/8th and 122+ MPH to squeak into the 10.9s.

How much you gonna spray it?

I wanna see a picture of this beast. like the combo!

when it was straight from the junkyard, we used to run 52n 48f and take a ton of timing out to slow it to 11.50. With a little timing in it it would go 11.teens We upped it to 65n 52f and it ran 10.90s
NOW that was with stock pitons and a smoking ?? how many mile junkyard motor.

Now with a fresh shortblock, great heads and a forged piston...he want to use possibly a 73n that should be 175hp

Everything is waiting on the roll bar..LOL The car is too fast on motor now let alone using the plate again !

Thanks for sharing ...impressive combo!
