74 in Lemons 24
 

Hey, it's a build. Car has to be less than $500 but you can spend $25k on safety. Fed up with the drags, check these cats youtubes out. Kent, Kile and I racing in Houston in November. Build starts today. This hunk had 140 MPH speedo in it!!!!! Jake

Let me guess, spy.
The slick car lot salesman told you this is a "creampuff, clean, one owner, restorable, numbers matching, highly sought after collectable car", didn't he?

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Actually it is a real K code numbers matching cop car and hard to find. BUT I got that puppy for $250. It had sat in a field for so long the lower crank pulley bottom rusted off. They thought the engine was frozen but the open valves had rotted off and were on top of the pistons. After heads were off it rotated freely. The 140 MPH speedo is worth more than the whole car. Car is in the Lemon 24 wheelhouse. Houston Nov 10th, see what she will do in the straights. HP 440 with 3.23 posi. A hoot!!!

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Driveline complete. Pretty quick for a big boy. Need rear antiroll for Lemons 24. Kent and I are attending New Orleans Lemon race this weekend to meet with the tech folks. An NHRA alternative....LOL

Admission of the problem is the first step to recovery. But if this is really not a "problem".......Rock On Phish!!!!

Motor and tranny done and it's lemmony. May need to clean carbeaux. Buford T.

Reckon this floor will hold a seat and belts? 147 MPH anyone? Dumbeaux


Did find a nice wrench

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

That's where that wrench went!

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Well we would look like the Flintstones instead of the Justeauxs because the floor cam out with the mat. SO we have scrapped the Fury and scored another $500 Monaco which will get all the cop drivetrain someday. Lil' too purrty' be we can dumb her down. We will run the first race with it's 400 4BBL Leanburn unit. Should be here this week and scheduled for Madman Chassis mid June. Steveaux

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

You guys down there have way to much fun I like it. Lol

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

The good news is infamous SST racer Boyd Moss scored a FREE RV with a low miles 1978 440 (the last year). The bad news is I had to work alone with the dually to get that puppy out. It started and ran no smoke with 150 compression. Gonna' be our spare bullet. Lemoneaux

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

"Gonna' be our spare bullet." Well, spare pellet, maybe. ;-)
Sounds like fun. "Ain't no car like a Mopar!"

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

I hear you on the pellet, but we know somebody that can hop it up. The one owner Hooptie Monaco is here, now named project "ORANGE WHIP" . Worlds dirtiest motor, never had a wrench on it, 81000 miles, but the thing actually runs darn good. I think that is the starter in the photo?? Looks like a mixture of oil, mouse poop, mouse hair, cat hair, dog hair, one human hair and just the right amount of Nebraska dirt. Everything is original and works except the "cigarette lighter". Go figure.... Some nice stuff to part out to my fellow Blues Brothers. Jakeaux


PS anyone needing a stock 400 Lean Burn, I got it.....Sucker pulls good, 3.55 rear

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

It WAS untouched but now stripped and ready for cage. We took the lean burn off as it missed at constant speed. Broadcast sheet was in the door. After two attempts to clean motor, still pretty bad. May just pull it as a spare and put one of the pellets in.

Dear Mr. Phish,
Your mind expanding explanations of your drag racing endeavors require indepth thougtht.

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Mr Fish, if you ever need a co driver, ex stock elim driver here turned road racer!!

The Lemons races are cool, look at the AER and ChumpCar as well.

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Frito had a GREAT idea. We will run one of these cars in stock. What class would a 74 Dodge Monaco run in? I see the 275 440 beater but what about the E86 375 440. I cant find it in the guide. Jakeaux


OK the 375 was in 69 so this is a 250 HP I think. Little less intense than the Phish....

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Love what you put on the fenders! Have fun with this!

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

275/440 is factored at 345 horsepower, making the '74 Dodge Monaco 4-door sedan a 12.76 pound natural J/SA, that could add or subtract weight to run I or K. The current J/SA index is 12.45.

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Wow, how did you find that for cheap? I would have thought that ANY '74 4-door Monaco, or even anything that could pass for a '74 4-door Monaco, would be pretty expensive...especially if the cigarette lighter doesn't work.

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Next time I decide to drive back to Louisiana from Halifax Ca., slap me!!! Still not home yet. Will be removing the Firm Feel antiroll and trick steering from the Great Race Fury over to the Lemons Orange Whip. Anyone need a nice driver Bluesmobile, check the for sale thread.

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Well. life stuff got in the way so we are shooting for spring. Still plugging away but entry cutoff was yesterday and we have an intake valve issue. Pops thru carb at WOT. Buford

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Tea anyone? Have some lifters you can sip out of. Lemons 24 wheelhouse motor. Trying to get back on schedule with a cam on the way. Sold a lot of the parts we are required to remove so still under our $500 budget. Also got 92 bucks for the donor cop car. Looks like the police motors were labeled during assembly. Buford T.

Re: 74 in Lemons 24
 

Engine and tranny done. Sounds good.
