I've been doing my part to keep b-body mopars in stock eliminator! I had a lot of fun with this car this fall. 440-6 pak combo In good air it was .60 under and there was a lot of things "wrong" with this car. Plan on making it all better before next spring.:D

Re: mopar racers
 

Congrats on the win earlier this year Hagen !!! My apologies on accusing the GTX of being 'heavy' LOL !!! Just curious, what does it weight to fit A?

Re: mopar racers
 

I believe the Hemi '70 GTX would have to weigh 3810 in A/SA the 6-pak combo like mine would be 3458 in A/SA... 3410 in A/S thats where I'm tryin to head!:D

Re: mopar racers
 

I Imagine it will be quite a bit of work to get one that light, eh ?

Re: mopar racers
 

Well the car would weigh 3620 with me in it and no weight in the weight box. So i always had 50 pds at least in it to be at B weight. So that puts me 210 heavy to make A/S weight. The car had some lead bolted to the frame looks to be about 80 pds?, has 2 batteries 50 pds?, has tri city launcher springs, I believe when I switched our wagon to cal-tracs and mono's we saved at least 50 pds?, plus has all the air grabber stuff on hood yet 20pds?. So I think I can get there. I want to redo the cage so it fits better also. What does chrome moly save you on a 6 point type cage? My main concern is making the car hook with all the weight out of back. This year with the springs and shocks that were in it I always had the car 50 pds heavy to make hook. Was always a balncing act between jump and spin and monster wheelstand like 20 pds between good-spin-and "HOLY S**T" :D hoping cal-tracs fix that! I want 3 foot wheelies not 8 foot wheelies:eek:

Re: mopar racers
 

Thank your gentlemen love the pics and info. Just don't see many I know the few in d-1 and enjoy them all. Need one to make it to the winner circle at e-town next year. Didn't know they ran that heavy, how are compareable to other mopar body styles as far as competitive and ability to run the number?

Re: mopar racers
 

Tom, This is not only a really a nice car but fast and very competitive. Shake out the moth balls, bring it out and have some fun. :)

Re: mopar racers
 

The 1970 GTX 440-6-PAK in B/SA min. weight is 3660@8.50lbs.

Re: mopar racers
 

Looks like about a 30% weight savings. Here's a couple of threads to check out.

Re: mopar racers
 

Johnny, thanks for sharing this cool pic of your sweet car as well. All the best to you for your efforts between now and then...

X's 2 Hemi Moose on your collection of "wheels up shots"...as the wrestler "RYBACK" would say..."FEED ME MORE"!!!! :)

Re: mopar racers
 

Gary, these latest photos were just enlarged but posted by other members here first...Question, so did you find a Mopar yet? And yes we will convert you, lol. :D

Re: mopar racers
 

Here is another pic. Also they did a nice article in the National Dragster in the featured flyer section on John Leach's car..

Re: mopar racers
 

That's funny, but I don't need to be converted, I just need more money....thus why I haven't really tried to look yet...don't want to torture myself by looking when the funds aren't yet there... :( a nice thought though....

Thanks to whoever originally posted these photos, because the cars are bad to the bone!!! :)

Re: mopar racers
 

The car Mike Smith and I partnered on in the mid 90's. I wanted to add this earlier, didn't know how. I still don't know how to get it to show full size, as opposed to an attached thumbnail. Oh well.

Re: mopar racers
 

THAT is a pretty car, wonder where it will be racing in 2013??:)

Re: mopar racers
 

I know this isn't a stocker but did run it in S/ST till the Challenger came about... Converted it to a "Pro" car and racing it almost weekly... Still a great ride...
