the Blue LO23 is the Speedwin Automotive car of Joe Jill from New York. It was restored to the blue color many years ago by John Ballow from Wisconsin. It was featured on a TV show with Dennis Gage prolly about 15 years ago. It remains pretty much the same today cept for a wheel change and has been painted on the sides with white lacing

Yes the Speedwin Dart was absolutely beautiful. Jill apparently was very good with his wrench, and build the Hemi for Castaldo...

OK, so my engine is finally done and here (still to be installed), and the new A&A transmission and converter are on their way, also. Wheelie bars are being figured out..not much room on a narrowed Dana, but should be able to get things figured out exactly, when the drivetrain is all installed and the suspension is loaded more.

Here are a few photos, including a copy of the Dyno. Keep in mind, this is with just the MP cross ram, no sheet-metal intake (I wanted more of an original look for this original LO car). Also, I told him I just may want to take this out on the street occasionally, so Tim Banning went with more of what he considers his "Pro Street" cam; not the usual valvetrain-killing SuperStock cam setup that wouldn't be nearly as well-suited for street use. Tim thought the engine would be near the 1050 hp range as is with JUST a change to his sheet metal intake.

I am so bummed that I waited all summer, and now (here in South Dakota) I won't get a chance to try this out until next May/June... but I bet it will be worth the wait. Unfortunately, that's also probably about when my new Demon will arrive, so I will have two cars to get figured out.
