The last time I went to the track, I ripped the frame at the lower control arm bracket grabbing 2nd. The bracket rotated almost 90* and as a result, I blew the rear u-joint and damaged the trans. Alot of fun but cost me some coin. |

That's a nice ET, especially for a stick car! What does she weigh? Gotta be heavy. My Magnum weighs 4500# best we've gotten out of her so far is a 10.21 @ 134. Looking forward to seeing how it comes along. Really sweet cruiser you've got. I'm digging it. |

Didn't realize a Dodge Magnum weighed that much, 10's in anything is fast let alone a 4500lb wagon. Nice! |
Re: Chino63's old wagon Swapping in a built LS would be killer. Old school style and modern power... Doesn't get much better than that. Really glad to hear that you drive it. That's what cars are for. My wagon is still street "legal-ish" and gets driven on the street, though honestly it's a lot to handle even detuned with the slow pulley on it. (It's a 392 stroker with a 3.6 Kenne Bell blower). What rear end is in the car? If you bump up the power with an LS swap will the rest of the driveline be up to it? If you do the swap, you gotta document it here so we can keep up with it. That wagon with big power under the hood... Drool. |
Re: Chino63's old wagon LS for the :mrgreen: |

Re: Chino63's old wagon I wanna see a burnout pic that would make the 'Road Kill' guys give you a "thumbsup" |
Re: Chino63's old wagon 1 Attachment(s) That's a stout setup! I'm also running a 9". Love that rear. I hear ya on the point of no return... I'm very close to it. LOL I'll start a thread tomorrow when I'm at the computer. I don't wanna clutter up your thread, but here's a pic for ya. Attachment 329902 |
Re: Chino63's old wagon Super bad ass "thumbsup" You have excellent taste. |
Re: Chino63's old wagon Some more progress has finally been made on the wagon over the last few weeks. I installed the MSD box, TKO-600, got the floor back together, reinstalled the front bench and carpet. Got her running pretty good. I was able to find a Canadian Frame in Richmond, CA for a fair price so going to get that going when I can. Maybe I'm getting old but have been really tired of how rich this thing runs at idle. The race demon has served me well but I decided to get a self learning EFI setup for this engine to help with the rich idle and improve drivability. I went with the Fitech 600hp and command center. Made a bracket to mount the command center to the frame. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b2...104_104623.jpg Added this support to reduce vibration to nearly zero. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b2...126_154007.jpg These units install so easy it's ridiculous. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b2...126_153441.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b2...127_145043.jpg I'm going to install 3.73's in the very near future and contemplating ditching the Detroit for a posi of some sorts. Also need to get some A/C installed at some point. "thumbsup" |
Re: Chino63's old wagon I contemplated EFI for the longest when I knew I hd to replace the carb on my 66. Ultimately I decided I needed to learn to tune a carb and there was only one way that was going to happen |

Re: Chino63's old wagon Quote:
I'm pretty confident in calling my shot that it won't be there in 5 years.. If the engine wasn't a fresh rebuild I probably wouldn't have sunk the money into the carb and heads but.. that seemed better than doing the easy route and throwing a LS at it |
Re: Chino63's old wagon Good to see this thing still kicking. I need another ride :mrgreen: |
Re: Chino63's old wagon Frickin sweet station weapon! Miss my old 1963 Plymouth Valiant station weapon, great sleeper, the look on people's faces when you beat them! :mrgreen:"thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" Edit: Chino and Badwagon, both nice wagons! :) |
Re: Chino63's old wagon How is the FiTech treating you Dean now that you have had it on for a few months? |

Re: Chino63's old wagon Is the 400HP doing good on the FJ? I was told it wasn't for "offroad" use...? I am considering putting one on a 302 in an Early Bronco... |
