Hi, I have a 528, roller cam with maxed out Indy SR's, single plane and 1050 AED Dominator, gearbox is tricked 727 and a 4500 convertor. I have just purchased a Indy Tunnel Ram and a pair of TRE 950 carbs that I will set up.

Cheers

Those still pictures are great! But video with sound (lots of sound!) would be awesome! Bring on the video of your 528 thunder-from-down-under!! :burnout:

Very fast car indeed... Now, I would like my 440 to run 10 sec quarter mile some time... Do you have the cuda strengthened? Subframe connectors, torque boxes...

Thanks again guys. TelisSE440 No I do not have any connectors or boxes. I do not plan to run it on the the drag strip much, just want that 9.99 slip, without a cage and harness makes it hard and I have been told to go home before. Here in Western Australia we only have the one track so they know who I am  :angelwings: Only chance I have is the occational Wednesday night when the rules get relaxed a little.

The track in the photos is a little country track we had but now not operating, the track in the video is our only one.

Al, hope you make it and I'm pretty sure you will, but I very much like the fact that you have a stock chassis, so basically you have one  sleeper car... :2thumbs:
