Project Superbee new engine breaks into the 10s

This is a pump gas 440/493, roller hydraulic, Eddy Heads, 3:55 gears , 3600 stall. I drive this car to the local track, run all night and drive home. I am still tuning and the car needs some Caltracks and a 950 carb. Hope to get a few more tenths shaved off in the next month or so.

Now that is a wonderful thing!

What cam is inside?
Port work on the Edelbrock heads?

that is one beautiful car you got there!
you did a great job on it.
i got a 69.5 superbee goes 11.97 with stock everything,its a pure stock motor. 11.0 compression.
i'd go with a 4.10 gear and a 4600 stall converter to wake that bad boy up.

looks great in blue with white bumble…..Which edelbrocks did you use? #60189, 84cc or 88cc and did you match the pistons? Love it man..

Vry nice Super Bee. Congrats on breaking in the 10's. I am building a 493 right now to replace the mild 440 in my 63 plymouth. I will be hoping for 10's myself. Ron

hey superstock that lemon twister looks brand new

Your car already is running a stout number .... curious, what are your 60 foot times?

The strokers that run well on the street really need a decent suspension to get them to hook thru the 330'

that is one beautiful car you got there!

I love that car! 11.97 is phenomenal for stock. Is it an auto and is the stall converter stock as well?

its a column auto. with stock converter. motor done by best machine in michigan.

Thanks retro!

Retro my best 60 ft is a 1.57 and I average in the low 1.60's. Its all stock suspension with SS springs. I am running the 30 x 9 radial slicks on the street and strip. I know alot of NHRA stockers run the 30 x 9 radial slick and some run in the 9's. So I hope it will still hook but if it gives me trouble I can think about Cal Tracks. Thanks for the kind words and good luck with that swet Bee ! Ron

It will hook good right now at decent tracks. Ron

Awesome car retro. Just doesn't get much better than that.

You did a great job!!!!!!! What was the reaction of the corvette guy?? Is he willing to sell the vette and spend his money on a mopar now?

The owner of the Vette is a close friend of mine. He ran his best time on the same evening.

I have to come clean and tell you I recently had a 2007 Z06 Corvette 10.62@132 and decided to keep only one toy so I kept the Bee and away the Vette went. The manual transmission are too costly to run in these IRS machines.

We are running almost exact times and many times it comes down to reaction times.

Cool car, and thanks for the posting your video

Very nice car.

Congrats on the 10 sec pass!!! Your Bee looks Awesum!!!

Superstock, Bee looks great and runs strong, where did you run 11;97 with the Bee???

That was a beautiful pass and great car!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure what 11.97 you are talking about , but the first few runs I ran it 1/8th mile checking A/F ratio making sure jets were correct. The car runs best at 12.4 A/F probably because I am using the Indy Dual plane intake and the scatter has some cylinders leaner than others.

That was a beautiful pass and great car!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.

Retro, Superstock,383 man, just what I like to see,beautiful B-bodies turning sub 12,s with normally aspirated engines. My 68 Bee 496 so far has run a best of 11.70,s and my goal is low to mid 11,s. Keep up the good work and let us in on any tuning secrets:icon_wink:

Thanks Beezee.

There are no secrets other than 4 hours of dyno time and a focus on HP under the curve as opposed to the peak dyno number. A/F ratio that produces the best HP/TQ numbers was 12.4

Anyway I can help a fellow HP hunter, just ask. I have probably tried it.

And the colour.
And the idle…
and of course the pass.
