I tried to sign up the other day and had some issues..apparently I signed up for this site a couple years ago and forgot all about it doh! I'm starting to get back on track with my long time project car: 68 Satellite that I got back in 2000...It was(still is!) rough, body's not too bad but the interior was only half there, 318 and trans were on their last leg...A/C and heater had previously been torn out, among other things. I've added a 440(10 to 1 CR, Eddy RPM heads and intake, headers, comp XE274 cam, speed demon 850) a 727, and have a 742 3rd ready to be built to go in place of the stock open 741..I don't feel the need to beat on it at the track as much as I used to, so the plan is to be a drivable thumper with hopefully high 12sec capabilities. At the moment I'm working on my uncle's car too, he has a 68 GTX, nice original but had to find a motor and trans for it.(the old guy is largely responsible for my own love of mopars, so I'm helping him out)...can't wait to get his done so I can concentrate on my beast though! Thanks, and.....mopar or no car!
 
Thanks!...the last time I was really getting stuff done on it(ya know, pre- wife and kids..) I frequented the mancini tech talk forum, but I guess that's been gone for a long time....
 
Welcome back BH!

Got any pics?

Welcome back to the forum. A mild 440 into the 12's is not out of the question. Mine goes 12.51 with 3.55s and can drive it anywhere. Pretty much the same setup as yours. Good luck with both projects.
 
Thanks everyone!...here's my work-in-progress
