those are train tracks

First off on that motor, WOW. I can't quite tell, is it a 440, or 383? And you say those boxes are train tracks? The only tracks I know of that need a box that big are G scale, LGB. Are you a garden model railroader? I'm an N scaler.

the motor is a 440 bored to 451. before I hurt the motor in aug. I ran an 11.6 1/4.
as for the tracks they are not mine. the car is in a friends garage right now because I can't work on the car in my garage because the car barely fits in it so I can't do the motor in mine.
the tracks are LGB.

Very nice!

Great looking car.
Where do you run your car and in what class?
What all have you done to the motor?

I've raced super pro dragsters for over 25 years and I'm now collecting parts to build a 70 cuda to run in super street 1/8 mile. Slow, slow, slow.
I plan to have a friend of mine build my 383. He builds super stock motors for NHRA cars. He says that he can build an almost bullet proof 383 for me. I'm slowing down in my old age and I don't have the time or money to be maintaining them like I used to.

I don't race in a class. I just do test and tune. I ran at island raceway in new jersey.
the engine is bored 60 over with je pistons, isky roller cam 640 lift 260 duration. eagle h beam rods, crane roller rockers, demon 850 carb, and I will be installing a 125 shot of nitrous this weekend.

I did not notice a corn field. But that does not mean its not there.

 

[hotrod98]

That's my plan with this cuda. I want to do mostly testing and tuning. No stress, just having fun driving. I want it set up for the Super Steet class just in case I get the urge to enter occasionally. I said that I wouldn't race any more when I sold the last dragster.
I sold my B5 blue 69 Superbee to a guy in New Jersey last summer. He takes it out to the drags occasionally. I think he goes over to E-town, not totally positive. He may join the forum eventually under the name bigblocksam.

Have you ever heard of stroking a 383 with a 440 crank? While I've owned numerous mopars over the years, I've always raced chevy motors due to the low cost of the good parts and don't know much about building mopar race motors.

I do not know of anybody stroking a 383 with a 440 crank. I do not know alot of people with mopars though. whem I go to local car shows I feel very alone because most cars are chevy and fords. and boy do I hate mustangs!!

They use to do that back in the day before stroker kits came out.
They would use a 440 crank and off set grind them 3/8 of an inch,I think they use 400 rods I can't really remember then 383 pistons and would be a 421 or 432 CI.
I would have to go back through some old build books to be sure

[Basketcase]
