    Handmade combo in Spain, what is your opinion?
    « on: April 15, 2006 - 06:32:59 AM »
    Hi.
    I write from spain, I let the first topic on Newbie's and the picture of my recent "finished" project.
    I let my engine combo.
    HP 440 block 10-26-69
    Forged stock crank @0.020", stock rods.
    New bearings, new water, oil, fuel hi volume pumps.
    10.34 domed forged pistons @0.030" (with 88 heads)
    Edelbrock aluminium heads 88cc.
    238-246º @0.050/ .495-.495 lift cam
    Hydraulic lifters and aluminium roller 1.5:1 ratio.
    Edelbrock performer RPM intake with speed demon 750 cfm and 4" height k&n filter with x-tream top.
    1 7/8 headers to 2.5 " exhaust, h-pipes w/cut-out and rear 40 series flowmaster.
    MSD 6AL and mopar performance distributor.
    Hughes 727 TF, with 3000 rpm hughes stall converter.
    3.23 8-3/4 sure grip
    Electric fan
    Milodon race oil pan with perma cool oil/transmission radiator and extra electric/manual fan.

    Car still not proven at dyno but I want to install a new 3" lines from headers to x-pipe and new 3" cut out first.

    Probably on July I will make the first race on the track but I want to learn from you and your cars.

    I'm sure that i need more goodies to race sure anf faster on 1/4 mile but I finished my budget by now.
    I have on my head : :clueless:
    Short rear end until 3.91 : 1 or Gear Vendors unit. (We always cruise 200-300 miles to go to meeting or track)
    Install any type of traction bars and/or pinion snubber (I have an unit of this one)
    Use any type of drag radials (not available in spain for 15" wheels)

    That's all by now. :thumbsup:

    Thanks to everybody.

    Sounds like a good start!

    For traction a pinion snubber should work well, but as far as a drag radial, I don't know of a good proven tire.

    A thing to consider too if you are going to give this car good track use and try hooking hard is to strengthen the uni-body with some frame ties to keep the car from twisting.

    And welcome aboard - I'm going to go check the pic out.

    I've had some great results with BFGoodrich drag TA radials. 275/60/15 and a pinion snubber. I read and artical about adding a slide a link system rather than traction bars for added traction. No personal experience on the slide a link system.
