It was right before the change. I didn't have it geared right the tune was way conservative and the motor was a complete stock Ford unit with a set of experimental cams from Comp, this was before all the modular motor stuff had really come out yet for the NHRA cars. I should have built another one.

To help you with your build I would take your Wann powered cuda off your hands for 10 grand, rest assured, it would be well traveled and lusted after from Maramichi, to Napierville, to Toronto, maybe even ponoma, certainly epping and lebanon valley.

In all seriousness, Tom your car is as good as it gets, a Superbird although cool, will it even fit in a trailer?

I'd buy a new trailer lol! I have always wanted to build a superbird, just a bad Combo. If they would cut that thing some slack, I may be crazy enough to do it, I just happen to have a fresh jones 440-4 ready to roll. You have no idea the pimp tastic paint I could do on it. If the nhra wanted some flair in the show, I would do it! For now I'll stick with the cuda till the dart is finished..... Eric it will take a weeee bit more money than that for the cuda. I think you should send that gremlin down for some bling!
