You sure wouoldnt expect that thing to haul ass by lookin at it I bet you really blow peoples minds with that one!!!! Great job!!!!

Looks like a really clean installation. a billet BG always looks good a top a motor. I like the color it is really unique better then just orange like most peeps ( No offense to anyone, who has one, I've have/made a many that where orange. )

I hid the tach behind the inspection sticker and regestration sticker and have some mid to late 80's LED gauge cluster right under the a/c controls . The shifter is a mustang/capri console model that works like with a quarter stick gate and will be covered by a black leather shift boot . I even manage to get the reverse lights working. I'll try to get pics of that today .

O.K. drag radials are on , traction bars are on , Rear axle leak is fixed . I got to be up @4:30 be at work @ 5 work a 12 . go home get the truck and tech in by 6 p.m. , but i'm ready it has been January since I made a pass and i'm ready . I have already run a G-tech pass , but i'm gonna make you guys wait and post my best time slip . The high tommorow is slatted to be 66* and the track is like 7 foot above sea level . I've jetted it tell the plugs are about the color of a chrispy Mc donalds french fry and will probably add fuel as the air cools . Wish me luck and time slips to follow .

Good Luck, Can't Wait To Hear What You Run.

Have Fun

Im luvin it

Hey all , track night went well , it was cool in the mid to high 50's . Track was good til sun down , then they prepped it and it got better . i was doing alot of timing and carb adjustments and learned alot . The little 235/60 drag radials & slapper bars did great . I eventually dropped the pressure to 15 # s , but my best pass was at 18.5 . I did have a few little problems , but nothing to keep me from running it . There is a shift delay between 1 & 2 , The trac-loc was acting strange spinning one or the other some times , i don't think I have enough alternator & I need some type of cold air induction set up . They made me pull out in the parking lot and make 5 or 6 hits because it was dumping red clay dirt out of the frame rails . My best pass was as follows :
R/T = .045
60' = 1.762
330= 5.08
1/8= 7.85
mph= 88.55
1000=10.30
1/4 = 12.39
106.91 mph

Here is the video









All in all a fun night . At one time I had a group of about 20 people checking out the truck . I think i'm gonna have have alot of fun with this little truck . Not that I haven't already

Thats a great time!!!! I wish I could of ran somewher in the 12's Thanks for the pics too!!!!!!!

Thats Showing Em

Nice Runs

Nice Passes, Cool Being To See Em

OK, I'm over it. Where's the beer?

It wouldn't be inspected without your ebrake help Ron . A big thanks to all . I bought this truck and everyone here coached / taught me how to build it . The general blue print came from this site as a team . I inprevised on some fine details , but anytime I was stuck or down ya'll where there . I guess my goal for the truck is like 11.51 , but it'll get there with some tuning . I'll continue this thread as i go . I would have to have someone make me a redeculus offer to ever get rid of it . My wife at first hated the truck , but has seen the attention it brings everywhere we go , and now thinks it's pretty cool . My teenage daughter is kinda into it to . I guess it is now part of the family . i've been called out at work by a guy with a 1969 mustang , so we'll see what we came do about that ( video to come ) . i'll keep you posted .

Hey , I know you guys are probably bored with this thread , but some new info has arised . I had the distributer 1 tooth off . Just found that tonight . I was suspecting this thing had more . Friday night we will find out . Also finished the line loc . I'm hoping for a 12.05 / 11.90 . I'll keep posting.

Uhh.. If your timing was off that much, you might want to hang on to your hat next trip through. lol.

I bought the rad from summit it was like 159 delivered it is a griffin 19 x 21 universal . If i had it to do over I would relieve more core support and put in as much radiator as possible . mine stays around 190-205 . I'm going to flush it and use distilled and water wetter to get it down . My motor is always hot and the air coming off of the radiator will hurt your skin . I will probably take the rubber fenderwell flaps back out and add some form of cold air ducting to carb to try and cool it down . My only other option would be a cowl hood , which I do'nt want to do . I'm trying to stay incognito .

I am replacing the 3.50 trac-loc with 4.10 spool getting ready for friday street car night . Well see if it will 60' now . Hope it's got an 11.90 in it.
