1965 Dodge Coronet acceleration part 1

This car is now for sale! Has a barely broken in 11:1 493 stroker. Located in Oklahoma City, OK. PM me for details.
rover.ebay.com/...
This is up to a little over 5000 rpm - roller valvetrain probably has over 6000 in it. Still working on a few bugs, so I haven't really pushed it yet.
Engine is a '77 440 block (+.030) with KB 10.3:1 hyper pistons, Edelbrock RPM heads, Comp 308R (262 @ .050/.575 lift) solid roller cam, Weiand tunnel ram with Holley 4160 600 cfm carbs. Summit universal 3" X-pipe to Magnaflow 11229 mufflers dumped at the axle. Mopar 8 3/4" (489) rear end with 3.91 suregrip gears. Trans is a 727 built with Hughes parts, Turbo Action "Cheetah" reverse manual valvebody, and ACC Boss Hog 3600 stall converter. Color is a BASF single stage urethane enamel called "Red."
Camera is a Panasonic DMC-ZS3 - you can watch the video in HD. I accidentally left the wind filter setting on, so you don't get as good of sound quality with this one.

One bad ass car! Really like the two volosity stacks.

[@rocker1210]

Thanks a lot for the comment! I need to get another video out soon...

[@racehemi4862]

A great example of 1965 Mopar styling and performance.

[@rocker1210]

Thanks a lot for the comment! New 493 stroker is in and breaking it in now. New video soon.

[@racehemi4862]

My Belvedere has a 472 Hemi, with the original crossram & carbs, @ 11.5:1 it dynode @650 HP & over 600 ft/lb torque. With a 4-speed she is a Beast!.

[@CNCFatBoy]

man that is awesome my grandpa used to have a coronet 500 it had a 383 4 speed

[@HITEKSTRANGER]

Wow ! Yay Gramps!

[@tommyau2006]

this is without doubt the clearest and sharpest video I have seen on youtube. Nice car by the way

[@rocker1210]

Yeah, I think you're right - I'd definitely go with a 950 Dominator or something on a high rise single plane for pure racing, but the 2 x 600s on the tunnel ram was partially for effect for the overall car. I do have a Holley 850 DP and a Mopar M1 sitting around (reference the Homebuilt video I have) that I used for start up...I could always mess around with that. This video was also taken only a couple months after I'd gotten it running and hadn't really done much meaningful tuning yet...I've

[@bdogjr7779]

BadassThe intake honking noise is awesome👍🏾BASF Red polyurethane single stage is beautiful. The name Red is fitting✌😎☮

[@ChargerHemi29]

I love your steel wheels. All business, looks awesome

[@michaelbechtel4944]

Nice sounding 440

[@rocker1210]

@wildpoly318 Nope...they are 14" Magnaflows. I've since taken them off and just run straight pipes right now and it sounds pretty awesome.

[@rocker1210]

Thanks man! No fourth gear in this sloth...it's a 727 trans with a reverse manual valve body. One of these days I'll get a full up go in the thing on the Tube. CRF450 = one awesome bike.

[@maximuswedgie5149]

I have the exact brother of this car but in Indian Turquoise. I’m even still missing my trunk pc too LOL. But mines not as fast, this is a killer build dude great job. Great video.

[@rocker1210]

Thank you man! It's gone to a great new owner out in CA now - it was time to move on from it. I enjoyed building but though.

[@NoName-mz1vf]

What a beautiful car, and I'm a Chevy man. I have a TR'd 498 in my 65' Chevelle. I know this is an old post but hope you still have the car. Once a motor head always a motor head.

[@rocker1210]

Thank you man! Yep I still have the car, but its in storage currently. Should have it in my new garage in the next month or so - then time for a new cam! I appreciate the comment.

[@Pilot604]

Very cool video John!!! You should have really nailed it off the line and let those front wheels come up for the camera! You have such a nice car.

[@billfeld5883]

Good looking car, glad I don't live there with all those walls 😮😮😮

[@rocker1210]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the comment!

[@Moparmaga-1]

Yeah man, this 65 is badass

[@Benz93x]

now thats what you call a fucking V8

[@rocker1210]

Sorry for the late reply...I'm actually a big fan of the Magnaflows and this is the first time I've used them. There is no drone and they're not overly loud (as far as a 3" x-pipe dumped at the axle set up goes...), but they'll get attention when you start up. But it definitely seems to be a true representation of how the engine actually sounds, as opposed to how the muffler itself sounds (like a flowmaster or something).

[@woodey028]

Best looking Coronet in my opinion. The single headlamp grills were cool too. Nice car :)

[@harleydude-xo8pu]

I have always loved these body styles

[@buddieluvsu]

Thats a Keeper Bud

[@rocker1210]

(continuing the sentence from below)...I've got a new cam sitting on my bench that should really make a big difference with this car - just need to find the time to throw it in! Hopefully more to come.

[@mannieecker8602]

Thats a glorious song your beast sings, Love how the car is setup, I like your style. What mufflers are you using in the vid?

[@GeneralLee131]

Jesus that thing sounds good. I wish you had more room to really stand on it.

[@williamturner8422]

I've watched this video a bunch of times. I am currently building a 440 for a 69 Super Bee. I am going to run a Preformer RPM and Holley 850 vacuum secondary to start with but, plan on switching to a Weiand tunnel ram and 2 Holley 600 vacuum secondary carbs. What jet size are you running on the primaries ? and what power valve on the primaries ? Your answer would save me a lot of trial and error. Thanks in advance. Will.

[@marcoceccarelli6415]

nice job that car is beautiful

[@rocker1210]

Thanks very much! Still running as good as ever.

[@killingthemslowly79]

I noticed u have a Bosshog converter in that car. Do u like it? Any problems with trans running hot? Im in the market for a converter and Bosshog converters caught my eye. Any imput would be nice. By the way u got a badass ride man!

[@coolmoodee]

one day I'm adding a 65 to my collection of mopars

[@dodgecharger4404]

Any nearby Prius drivers would've suffered cardiac arrest when you kicked her open!!

[@rocker1210]

Yeah, that's pretty much my goal every time I got WOT in that thing. I get 99% thumbs up and 1% disapproving scowl.

[@bunk-bn9eo]

@@rocker1210 those scowls would make my day. lol

[@rocker1210]

@moparpunk1 - Yep - my name on there is Rocker65 and I've got a bunch of pictures of the car. I've been meaning to put more up there but haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for the comment!

[@coolmoodee]

nice car but quiet and maybe a lumpier cam would be nice

[@jaybirdclark7645]

Lol love it I always love taking a strong big block on a open road get up 50 so u don’t break traction and shear on it best feeling there is

[@martyhawker5388]

Nice ride

[@rocker1210]

Thanks very much!

[@coolmoodee]

Been looking for a clean 65 for a long time...

[@chrismc.4437]

And?

[@coolmoodee]

@@chrismc.4437 still looking

[@studygeeks9975]

1:39 this is what you all were waiting for

[@ofcrob218]

John it looks AWESOME!

[@Mr2013GT]

Yeah normally the heads are the most important when it comes to carb choice, i've seen little 340's and such that were running a 850 holley, the heads need to be able to move all that air. He's got a VERY solid heads/cam/intake setup, he can get away with over 1,000 cfm.

[@KingSams0n]

Is that a crack in the front window? Great car man! Really love those 65 Coronet Super Stock style...

[@CRF450Rider585]

hahah, nah you cant forget the sound of a 440, i wanna see that thing pull up and through 4th man!!

[@HITEKSTRANGER]

Nice ! There she was....gone !

[@lindadeshannon2875]

sweet car

[@irastai777]

Im going back ta old school

[@TR-vl2nb]

Part 2 Please :D

[@rocker1210]

Haha! Every time I see the title of this, I remember I never did a part 2...alright, I will do it this fall for sure. Super long overdue!

[@ModernWarflare]

Ahhh, whoops again. In that case it's too much. He has a 446 engine and according to a few sources, even on the high side at 6000 rpm it should be between 650cfm(street carb) and 850cfm(racing carb). I've heard that bigger isn't always better and if it's too big it can actually hinder performance.

[@classiccarguy97]

I am turning sixteen nxt year n already have my 66 coronet

[@hpbunker]

Very nice man! very very nice! i love these old b-bodies and you did a real nice job with this one...how do you find those magnaflow mufflers? would you consider them quiet, loud, or just right? im a loud type of guy and am considering the same ones

[@jallen2305]

Long gone, correct? Did it go back to AZ?

[@rocker1210]

It is gone, unfortunately, but went to a really good guy out in CA.

[@djtuby1910]

nice video man hey i have a 1972 dodge coronet

[@ucdcrush]

Awesome ride..

[@1988Calhoun]

nice, iit's very nice car, and sound!!

[@Mr2013GT]

He's breathing 1,200 cfm, the engine has two Holley 600's :)

wow,checkout the signboard at 2:57

[@Bosmob]

Woooweee!! That thing is mean!

[@59windsor]

FLAWLESS CAR EXEPT FOR THAT GAUGE SET UP............

[@Mr2013GT]

How much hp do you figure? Probably a solid 600-650 yeah?

[@ModernWarflare]

Whoops lol, I thought I did ... No offense to them but I thought a 440 or whatever it is would be faster then that. I think he needs a bigger carb then a 600cfm on a 440+ engine. Probably at least a 750cfm. Hell, I've seen 750cfm carbs on 350s ... An engine that big needs to breathe!
