OK, Here they are!
« on: January 16, 2008 - 10:39:15 PM »
The black car is the 340 that I asked everyone if it would beat the 5.0 kid down the street. Thanks for all of your thoughts and suggestions!
The red one is a cloned RT with a 440 that I was never happy with. Forgive me, but some hotshot Chevy mechanic built the engine in it and kept the compression in the 8psi range; it never popped liked I wanted it to. Felt slow on take off, but boy! would it run past 55mph.

Well done on the pics,


I think you will beat the 5.0 Mustang down the road just on looks alone if nothing else buddy. :worshippy

WOW - Those are nice cars!  That black one is stunning.

No worries - The previous owner of my Challenger (a Chevy guy...) had the 440 with 8:1 compression, a single plane hi-rise intake, and a 600cfm carb!  Everything can be corrected.

 :iagree:  Both are great.  I do prefer the Black one though.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development
