Gen 3 bracket motor

Wiring is finished, now tackling the fuel system.
I don't know how old everything is, so everything is getting new...

I had a linear actuator lying around from when I used to make Halloween props.
I was bored, so...
 
She's starting to come together...
Hope to be installed and running in a couple weeks.
 
Looking/sounding great - those intakes always look so impressive !
 
New billet Thumper dominator to top off the eiffel tower...

Looks & sound racy Bobby :thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
I'm falling in love!
motor, trans, starter and headers assembled in the garage and went in all together...
And I connected the starter wires from above.

The car moved under its own power this morning.
Loaded it up and dragged it to Island Dragway for a chassis cert.
Got a date with a dyno March 29...
Can't wait.

Thanks
It will only cert. to 8.50 with the cage.
It's a bracket car, so I run with my club NODRAMA at LVD in NY.
Other races I run Pro.
Footbrake only.
This year when I go out to Ohio for the Mopar events, I'll also be able to run modern hemi class.
Going on a chassis dyno on Friday.
I just want this to last...
If I get 9.70's with reliability, I'll be more than happy.

sounds reasonable

good luck Friday
 
9.70s should be doable.
I have an acquaintance with a very nice 68 dart with a 6.1, similar build to yours. Consistent 5.90s car, I think that's around 9.50s quarter.
Of course, his old street car, also a 68 dart, about three hundred lbs heavier, ran easy mid tens with a 408.
 

Here is a brief warm-up pull on the dyno.
This was the second day. There were lots of bugs and small leaks to navigate.
At the end of the day, There was still more in it, but I called it quits.
It was still climbing when we stopped.
Next weekend I'll hit the track for some testing
