That's not that high. Any spring in S/S

Check the recent threads on the Thunder Valley Dragway pictures, for more info on Matts car. I was talking with Al Kuehl about this car in the more recent posts to that thread, and per Al, the car ran a 10.68 @ Brainerd last May!!!

10.63? WOW! A little 273? Have you ever looked at the heads on a 273? Amazing! Jim

Yeah Al, He must be a magician! Jim

He must use the steel 340 crank! Those 273 cranks are steel but they are really crude. Jim

That's cool Al, if he can do that with a 273, I wonder what he could do with my 173. Kind of makes me want to either live closer to you guys (at least until the first snow, then not even a Top Fuel Dragster could get me away from there fast enough...ROLOL), so I could see what kind of magic he could perform on my lil' V6? That is if he'd even want to touch it??? Might not be enough cylinders, or cubes for him...lol???

Oh, No offense taken Al! I think the same thing every time I walk out of my house! Jim

The snows really not that bad . If I lived where Jim Wahl lives I would melt . I cant stand the heat and the humidity . No offense Jim I have been to Flordia thats also where my financial problems started . Any time it get's over 65 or 70 it's to hot for me .
Al
Al those temp extremes you spoke of are great for racing (or during the winter time?), but once the racing is over, I want 80's +!!! The sunshine state may have the humidity, but tack on 45 degrees to your 70 degree limit, and you get a normal June to August here in the "Valley of The Sun"!!! Today we're a nice cool 105 degrees (albeit with only 10% humidity). Now how would you like that Al...?

There is a Mopar site "For A bodies Only" that has some other pics and info on this car.
