They are and he did trim the lower case

It does not, holes are for cooling

Little bit of an update on the Sport Fury...finally picked up the new trans and converter a couple of weeks ago. 727 specialist trans and 8" converter from Coan both based in Indiana. Just need to carve out time to make the swap.

Haven't been out yet, working in the shop mostly trying make more room and install a 2 post lift. Worked some on the Aspen but not much on both 63's. I do have a new trans and converter ordered for the sport fury, should be ready for pick up soon. Max Wedge heads for the tan 63 Savoy are just...

Dodges have a longer wheelbase

Yes it is a natural G car. When I take it to an NHRA race it will have to be moved up to H. This was a S/SS combo race which doesn't scale the cars or fuel checks. They do require that class cars run under their indexes though. I didn't think it would run under the H/SA index which it didn't...

Yes he did...

Finished the Sport Fury today with the exception of a crank pulley that should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. Going to KilKare outside Xenia Ohio next weekend to race with the Buckeye S/SS group for their final points race of the season. Only have 2 passes in the car and they were 1/8 mile...

Short spears were mainly on Savoys, no spear with the hood scoop.

My current 63 Plymouth's

This is all true, I've been racing a stocker off and on since about 2006. Not looking to win class at Indy or set any records. If my car runs 3 to 5 tenths under the index I'm satsfied. The car can still be bracket raced although I don't do it that often. Surprisingly the engine in this car was...

Talked to Ben a few years ago at the Jegs speed week, very cool guy. Hope I am still racing when I'm 82. The FS/D Challenger would be fun to, but I understand being too damn busy. Never enough time in the day.
