John, must have been paging you. Nice pair of A-bodies, don't see that many early plymouth A-bodies.

John,
If my valiant is the one you're asking about, i'd be happy to give you the details on it.
Steve,
That's a nice 68 dart you've got there. I take it has a 340 between the fenderwells?

Andy - yes a (1970) 340 - stock stroke, comp cam, X-heads, etc. I am running a late model OD 4 spd with a 3.09 first and 3.91, 8 3/4. Fun car to drive on the weekends. The 70 Dart looks cool - mini tubbed?
I have my 63 Polara Max Wedge Clone on Moparts - looking to sell/trade for another factory 340/383 A body.
Thanks

Thanks for the comments
The car is pretty basic, just you're basic bracket car.
It's all steel except for a fiberglass front bumper.
- 8 point rollbar, frame rails tied together
-Tubbed to the frame rails,
-ART ladderbars, 32" long, Double adjustable Varishocks with 130# springs
-29.5X 10.5X 15 slicks, 10" Centerline Telstar wheels on back, 4"s up front
-Dana 60 with 4.56 gears, all Mosier components
-Dynotech aluminum driveshaft
Front suspension is stock except for caltrac 90/10's
The motor is a 408 with Indy 360-2 cnc heads.
-'75 360 block with enlarged main oiling passages
-K1 forged crank
-K1 H-beam rods with ARP 2000 bolts
-Diamond flat top pistons, works out to 10.3 cr with the big indy chambers
-Total seal rings ( i wouldn't waste the money on them again)
The Indy Heads have been touched up by Brett Miller (W5Dart66) over the winter and he also ported my Indy intake to 4500 flange.
-Predator Roller cam, 264,268 @ .050
108lsa
.698 gross lift with my T&D 1.6 rockers
-Holley 1050 Dominator
727 with reverse manual valvebody, basic performance rebuild
8" converter (originally a Dynamic) that has just been rebuilt by Lenny @ ultimate converter.
The car had previously went a best of 10.38 @ 128 prior to Brett doing the head/intake work, and he also had the cam reground to better match the rest of the combination.
The only time i got out so far this year, the car went a best of 10.17 @ 131 but the converter was flashing 5900 and slipping 15% on the other end.
So, i sent it to lenny to have it rebuilt and tightened up.
Hopefully it'll run a high 9 second pass next time out, which looks to be next weekend. -Andy
