Oh wait, this isn't meant to be a joke??
How thick is the lexan you're using? I need to make a drivers side for my 66 coronet.
Nope, hard to belive but this will be a full 9 second N/SS car.
A 9 second mordoor! Cool! Is the fuel cell aluminum?
I like to keep the back window stock....good place for a little weight to be but yeah, I would probably go with Lexan too if mine ever broke. Getting hard to find good back glass these days for some of these cars.Damn that thing is cool
And if i ever break my backwindow i know who i'm callin now
Yeah.. i wont even attempt to remove my rear window.. it stresses me to think about something happening to it.. front is actually pretty easy to get still.
Yes aluminum cell. Previously this car was a small block turbo street car. Ran a best of 9.55@142. We'll see how the 485" big block motivates it. To be honest it probably has less power now. But it will be a lot lighter than the 3750 w/driver from before.
Just a side note, the early cars had flat glass, the 66 coronet is curved. Makes it more interesting..
Ran for years until we finally hurt the #2 piston. It's been bored and is ready to go into the project Duster I'm working on. This will be a pure street car so it won't see as much boost as the 22psi we had it turned up to previously. At 16-17lbs it could go forever. Still the same stock block and stock cast crank.
Jesus man.. you wanna build me a motor.. i'm doing everything wrong
Just want a nice 550ish hp 360 that isn't too nasty driving around.. i would never expect a stock block to even take 16psi for much time.
It's all in the tune. Nothing really very special. We went 10.99 the first time it ever went to the track. it's a 91 hyd roller 360 LA style block. 76mm turbo, 750 holley style blow thru E85 carb from Induction Solutions, factory heads with a little bowl work, stock rods w/ARP bolts, reground factory hyd roller cam to .500" lift, stock lifters and rods, Diamond 4.040" custom pistons, just over 9-1, MSD 6A digital and a trans brake and a 2.76, 8 3/4. Got it down to 10.60's. Then 3.23 gear and some more boost 10.0's. The last config; Stock 1/2 filled block with a girdle, stock cast crank, Ported Eddy heads, diamond pistons, eagle rods, .550 cam, crane gold rockers, 3.54 Dana. Several different converters from PTC. My Wife and Daughter-in-law both drove it on the street. Except for manual steering and manual disc it was normal until you hit the pedal.Jesus man.. you wanna build me a motor.. i'm doing everything wrong
Crap! I didn't think about that. Wonder if I can arc/bow a piece of sheet metal the same as the PS window and heat the lexan until its lays down. Guess I'll find out...
