UPDATE. February, 2001:
Here is the latest picture and information for my '65 Plymouth.
The old engine lost a wrist pin so I started over with a new shortblock. .030" over 440, 14 to1 JE pistons. Also added an adapter plate for a 1050 Holley dominator carb, ladder bar suspension, 29"x10" Goodyear slicks and a new hood scoop.
Best E.T. in 2000 was 10.82 at 125MPH runs consistent around the 10.90 mark 123 MPH.
Thanks, Brian!
We all love to see these Mopars still terrorizing the drag strips!
Keep up the good job!
