@gavinmclaren94169 ай бұрын
What a beaut. I had a '74, same R5 red, no vinyl roof. It was originally a 318 3 spd A-230, 3.23 open axle. I put a '69 340 in it, with a 4 speed from another 74 E body, and a 4.10 chunk from an old D-100 in it. The 340 was well built with a real measured 10.7 CR, J heads ported by me and with some AMC 2" 30 degree seat intake valves, and one of the DC purple shaft cams IIRC the hottest hydraulic one, which was still relatively mild. Holley 4175 carb, a double pumper spread-bore 800 CFM and holley street dominator manifold. The car had a flat hood and plain turn down dual exhaust with some generic headers. It had power steering and manual brakes, so I had no issues with vacuum for PB. That was one FAST E body (for the times,anyway), and so much fun as it had great torque and pulled really hard with the 4.10s. We were between drag strips in Edmonton, so I never raced it. But I reckon with some drag radials, it would have been a 12.50ish car. I daily drove it for two summers. A bit harsh on fuel costs but a great, great car.

@gavinmclaren94169 ай бұрын
@JustMoparJoe Me too, always have. As soon as I saw Ross's car, I was instantly reminded of my '74 Challenger. The more I heard, the more my opinion was reinforced. I think that there is a sweet spot for cars like this. I reckon that the biggest changes between the mid '80s (when I had the Challenger) and now are, in order of effect: 1) Aluminum heads with much better flow out of the box, 2) Readily available stroker kits, 3) hydraulic roller valve trains. Aluminum heads didn't exist then, strokers were not practical if you didn't have a pro stock budget, and there were mechanical roller cams, but the budget comment would also apply. The roller cams were pretty much race only, too. On the other hand, the raw material -the cars themselves were readily available and cheap to buy, and not usually rusty. I love my current Challenger (2013), but there is something timeless about the A, B, and E bodies. They are classics for a reason. I am laying the groundwork for one last build. I don't know yet which Mopar (A,B or E) it will be based on, but I guarantee it will not be a concours trailer queen. It will no doubt be similar to Ross's car in philosophy, with all of my 40 years of hot rodding experience poured into it. I can't wait.

Pretty cool. Did he say who ported the heads? On a side note; there’s a place in Kansas Ohio called KG Engines, that has a CNC porting service for stock iron heads, about $850 for the CNC work (if you don’t need other work done, though he does all cylinder head work too). If you’re a guy that likes the idea of having ‘stock’ heads, pretty reasonable I think.

I had a 72 Challenger many years ago. Mine had a 318 with a few small mods. I was running 13 flat with it. I lost it along with my first wife not long after I got it done. She enjoyed it for several years after. I love the e bodies. Most are out of my price range anymore. That one is a real nice one. It runs well too. If he's going to run it at the track much I would put some frame stiffeners on it. It looked like it has a bit of twist to it.

1/8 mile 7.35 is cut off for roll bar,when I run at tracks where they enforce that rule I have to slow it down. As far as 1/4 mile goes if it's super hot and crap air I can run 11.50 with no problem,but when it's cool and air is good it'll run quicker than that,so just depends on air quality and air temp on how I havta run it....add weight,or shift lower or retard timing etc.whichever works easiest lol
