Went to the local car hang out on the week end. Or should I say the chevy show , well as usual the dodge guys looked at the old 440 Dart(11 sec car ) and the bowtie bozos turned up their noses. I couldnt believe how they talked about how fast thier cars were but as they pulled out on the street most had trouble spinning the tires past first gear. I Pulled out roasted them in 1,2,3 and I got me a 396 chevelle fish on the hook. The guy came flying up beside me ,I was happy he had a roll bar (so does my dart ) so I figured this could be a good race . Well he tried 3 times and I beat him from a rolling start a standing start and a 2nd gear excelleration .
The standing start was best because I had to feather the throttle out of the hole so as not to go up in smoke,by now he has a car length on me , I passed him with the tires still smokeing so fast that I thought the old chevy had quit .Just imagine if I would of had the slicks on . He gave up after that,the best thing was he had a couple of bowetie buddies following him watching. They didnt try. I wonder why ? I love 440 darts. |

RR, that wasn't that maroon '66/67 rag with the slots on it was it...at best a mid 13's car...
I finally got the trans/conv from Jim put in sun, started to rain before I really got a chance to try it out... Did manage to get a modded R/T to run on 99 St, and late 70's vette just off Jasper Fri night...hehe! Like I said before, bloody thing looks almost docile... Dana |

RR, hmmm, that chevelle might be quicker now, havent seen him run this year
but still not quick enough for u, more my league
imagine the look on his face when my Fury hangs with him...LOL!
Soda Jerks nope my car isnt that pretty yet maybe once the 66 gets out of the shop, Ill take it down there. Ya on the trans, I wussed out on the manual valve body went with a 10 conv, and for the trans itself, 4 pin planetarys, 4 clutch direct and forward drums, ridged intermediate band, new rear band, bronze #3 washer, 5.0 lever, deep chry trans pan, hi flow filter, kolene steels, red racing clutches, trans-go stage 2 shift kit rain cancelled my inpromptu test and tune after thou so no results other than the converter seems to be bang on the 3200 spec had Jim make it tight as he could my only complaint was that it took a little longer than expected, but hey isnt that the way it always goes Also got the 4.10 detroit locker put in there for Fridays action just in time to be rained out again joy! Weekend might be a go, I have to see if I can find some tires that h |
