Starting a new build for my 65 Plymouth Belvedere

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

The new Moroso Drag Special 7.10 front Runners are bought and being shipped. Now just got to get them mounted up and balanced.
The bad news is my Manley Titanium valves won't be made till 3/30. So that's holding up the final assembly of the motor.

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

New Ti. valves are in and installed. Heads are on. Just need to put valley tray lid on and intake.
Will be on run stand early next week.
Also switching to a new Meziere 55GPM electric water pump.

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

So I got 95% of the roll cage painted and now just the downward part of the package tray bars need to be painted on carefully. Then the interior reassembly starts. I'll get pictures shortly.

Cant wait to put a pair of these on Budnicks!

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

Rollcage all painted and Racepak logger and Dash remounted up.
Rerouted the ARC Switch panel.
Next is drilling hole in floor for new PPP shifter cable and nuetral safety switch wires to relay. Then rerouting the Racepak O2 sensors and rewiring the new line lock wires to the new TCI switch on the PPP shifter handle.

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

Almost done with the interior. Got seat belt harness in, put new weatherpack connector for line lock in both sides, Installed the wiring for the Racepak data logger and Racepak dash and installed the 2 rear A990 door panels in & now just got to take out front drivers seat and install the carpet and put both SS seats back in. Install the rest of the Simpson Camlock harness and put gas pedal back in.

Front Windshield bar is nice and tight to the headliner now and I can actually use my rear view mirror.
Not in the mood to do anymore for today.

Me too Mr. B
I'll have a video by the end of the week of the startup.

Here's the custom head rest that actually works this time.

 

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

Well tonight was a good night for productivity. Got the carpet in, new Simpson Camlocks, and passenger seat.
New Stroud window net also installed. Hooked up the line lock button to a weather pack connector.

Tomorrow, drivers seat which is now fastened to the rollcage in the back so just in case an accident the seat doesn't twist and have the harness cut into my shoulders. This was from C & F Racecars recommendation.

A few more pictures. Check out the neat SS rear seat delete package tray.

Hey Chris, maybe a dumb question, but any thoughts to running a HANS device at those speeds? My buddy Ritchie Bruder runs 159mph in the 1/8th - a year of so ago he wrecked and that HANS device may have saved his neck.

It's been a thought and I am considering it. Definitely could be a life saver.

Looking good Chris. X2 on the Hans device.

You and me both Matt.
Unfortunately the weather has slowed us down this year so far. I should have been out atleast 3 times so far. None of our tracks are open yet and this weekend is not looking good either.
