I made a few fun passes back in 08? with it.
At that time it had a VERY MILD street hemi that I built for my cuda, complete with pump gas friendly 10.25 compression, & a .509" flat tappet hydraulic camshaft. Fiqured I'd bolt the Xram on top & drop it into the Dart for a couple seasons while I was building the "real" motor. I was expecting it to be pretty much of a turd to drive with the Xram etc, but with a 5200 9" converter, 4.56's, & some rejetting it wasn't all that bad on the street,----soooo...... I fiqured let's throw it on the track just for the hey of it.
With complete exhaust still attached, it ran 10.94,10.93, & a 10.90 @ 122,123mph. The slicks were total overkill. Motor didn't have enough power to make them work. I quess not bad times considering it had 3 bent valves.
Lesson learned!!!!! NEVER ASSUME when you buy a freshly machined motor from someone & even tho both deck surfaces are freshly refaced that they are the same height................... I measured only one side & did my piston valve clearance on that side............. It just happened to be the tall side........................ I found out after the fact

Forgot to add 'The Cookie Duster" to the list. Original automatic car, converted to a stick.
I spoke with the original owner of this car a few weeks back. He still has the original MSO when he purchased the car new in 68. Great, great guy to talk with, that really enjoyed racing that car. He even pulled the Xram off it & installed some Hilbornes in 69?

Sold it in 71 sometime, to a couple guys in Maryland who blew the engine up. He doesn't know what happened with it after that.
