any muscle car owners in here?

'62 falcon with a 302. Steel crank, roller cam, various bits and pieces-5 speed, disc brakes, front sway bar, upper control arms lowered. Needs pant and interior work.

I'll post some pics of the Capri when I get home.

I think it'll be a lifelong project..

I've go a '68 Firebird like that...lifelong project!

Oooh Capri's are Kewl

Here's my muscle-ish ride.. '70 Challenger R/T, originally 383 w/ manual.. nowadays 500 w/ manual.
Undergoes some upgrades in coming months e.g. new engine just waits to be yanked in (540cid Indy +B1 heads), BDS injection, 4-link, Viper seats inside and some more.. and little bit more

[72SBC]

How fast you plan on going?

[Challenger]

None, just to show off the overhood goodies

Seriously... don't know, it depends on the traction. I already have pretty bad traction with 4sp and 3.91 rear end, tends to burn tires even with 1-2 gear. The iron block is just too heavy in the front, weight distribution something like 44-56 roughly so not too good.
It goes what it goes, not really too much headache on that.. the engine pulls 1000hp with 6psi and I'll take it to 10-12psi

1000hp?on 6psi? What size blower is that? How much compression? What size carbs? Cam?

This one's a driver. 302, headers, roller rockers, 650 carb, 9" rear, etc.

As much as I'd like to beef up the HP, my first priority is wheels/brakes/suspension. Those pizza cutters just aren't doing it for me, and the brake pads up front are seriously tiny.

[Challenger]

Short block is 8,5:1 with Wiseco's , O-ringed block (Indy Maxx aluminum block)
Callies crank, H-beam rods.. all polished
Cam is mech roller with +.700 lift and I'm going to run it with the BDS fuel injection, Carbs are just for back-up
Blower is 12-71

Also what goes in is shortened Dana 60 with MW heady duty axles, 4.10 gear with spool.. should be good for 2000hp
I'll rework the wheelwells to frame rails, that's free up room for 14,5-15,5" tire.. not wanting to do full rear end rework.
Front, coil over conversion, support braces from firewall to front + attachment for motor plate

Being all my life stick car man, in goes prepped TF727... some other lighweight stuff into front and heavy weight in back (e.g. Stock guys are even using some led plated to get better weight distribution).. but I'll just yank decent subwoofer and amps to back

soo, it's still going to be a "let's go for Coldstone"-driver... a bit more radical to stock though

Ah 12-71... the pic looked like a 8-71 I was about to call some b.s.


Slap some 10.5's on it and have fun.. no need for a bigger tire.. im on x9's

Well, 31*10.5 would be pretty good as 28*12,5 ET Streets just didn't do the job
I'm going more toward 29*15 but that's for street use. Maybe one day to try out at infineon how the tranny blows

Damn, I have a friend that uses same block, 477cid and some older Indy heads, twin turbo at around 6-8psi in a '67 Plymouth Vip body. Just dynoed 1570hp and +2000nm torque !!! Maybe I should throw that pump away and go with turbo's (he actually ran 7.89 1/4mile with that 3500lb body ha ha)
