We're Going Drag Racing! Prepping My 1971 Dodge Demon 340 For The Strip, And A Shakedown Run

On today's episode, we finally learn if I'm any good at building small blocks or not - and the answer? Maybe. In any case, this recently assembled, temporarily-360-powered 1971 Dodge Demon 340 is a fully operational battle station. Maybe even more astounding than that is the lack of fluids leaking on the ground. Unlike the previous configuration, the clutch actually works, and the shifter is bolted tightly to the rest of the car. I'm thinking all of this could help contribute to something approaching a respectable 1/8th mile time... but we'll have to find that out the hard way.

Awesome! Now I don't have to cringe when you get nasty with it knowing the original numbers matching 340 is safe at home!🤣 👍

@DeadDodgeGarage Год назад

Me neither! Haha

Very pretty purrrrrr form the new, used, old, original, magical sound when everything is just right. Great Job!!! Peace

Well this makes a Saturday stuck at work a hell of a lot more tolerable, great job on the car bud!

@urielgarcia4567 Год назад

Great job on the build it sounds nice, happy and ready to race. The demon cleans up good! Enjoyed the drone footage 😁

@0004612 Год назад

Great views with the drone ! Great editing, thanks for the humor.

@ericwilson2585 Год назад

Well thanks for a video on the Demon Jamie, was good to see it again. Summer's on it's way, ain't quite here yet though.

@michaelnault5905 Год назад

It's a good looking car. Look forward to seeing it run at the track

Close to 10K already! Thats a nice surprise. Ive been here for a while, always enjoy your content.

@allanperryman388 4 месяца назад

You did great with footage. Not to mention, the tune sounds perfect.

@r.hill.2369 Год назад

Great sequence with the drone footage and instrumental jams!

That drone work though 😍

@alexgrazioso2506 Год назад

Loving the new intro style. Short sweet and to the point!

@stuckinmygarage6220 Год назад

I like, too, but, I hope not lose the uniqueness of this channel. Prime content. 👍👌

I’m still playing with intro style. I liked the long form intro but no one else did according to analytic data. Haha. I think the quick teaser at the beginning is a good way to grab people. Not planning on changing anything else! I definitely don’t know how to change myself 😅

You did a great job building the 340..i believe it will make you happy..it would me..see you on the next one Cheers 🥂🥂🥂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is the first time I've seen sun in one of your videos. That car is beautiful

@dantupper1784 Год назад

Something about working thru a list seems things turn.out better. 360 engine sure sounds like it's ready to party, and no worries of mortally wounding a numbers matching block! Drone footage is a cool addition. Same clutch setup I want to use, seems like the way to go. Been using studs on the termostat housings for years- if using bolts I do a depth check, thread chase, etc then check bolt length- seems to work

@65283impala Год назад

For a leak-free thermostat housing on Mopar small blocks, I've had good results using Fel-Pro gaskets and thin coats of Permatex Spray-A-Gasket on both sides of it... Then hand tightening a little more than I normally would care to. Re-tighten if necessary after driving a few miles as it might take a couple of cycles to get it all totally leak free. I certainly don't have your level of knowledge but one might find this info useful...

@DeadDodgeGarage Год назад

I usually use Right Stuff for thermostats, but I think my partner installed this one with the gasket dry. There seems to be a bolt problem as well with one of them not wanting to move anymore. I’ll let it be for now… the leak fixed itself. Haha.

Pinging could be because of the over rich. You probably already figured that,just putting in my 2 cents. She do sound healthy. Good job.

@gregloy5790 Год назад

I would really like to see this car go down the track.

@DeadDodgeGarage Год назад

You will, as soon as weather lines up with a test and tune!

@gregloy5790 Год назад

Sounds Kool. Would like to see in person.

@klupeeteable Год назад

would replace the short waterhose if i was you .. its in explode mode .. lol

@Trex1268 Год назад

Well, now I know why the stock clutch in the 69 Charger is so damn heavy.

@angieholmquist2372 Год назад

Nice ride, funny seeing Aberdeen in a video not Cobain related.

@DeadDodgeGarage Год назад

Right? We do other things here. Haha. With all of the negativity in, around and about this place, if I can do something to show people that it’s not necessarily what they think, I will.

Success is so sweet 🎉

@ronaldrey8474 5 месяцев назад

Those Aluminum heads should help make more beans...

@DeadDodgeGarage 5 месяцев назад

Actually? The iron headed 360 seems to make a lot more power than the aluminum headed 340 did. There are a lot more factors involved than just the head material.

@ronaldrey8474 5 месяцев назад

@@DeadDodgeGarage yes 100% and alum. heads dissipate heat better, CFM flow better, compression, unshrouded valves and also add more timing... Now you saw what port matching does with stockers you did my comment was wish you'd add those aftermarket heads (aluminum) as you and UTG just admitted O.E. only goes so far. ʕ⁠´⁠•⁠ ⁠ᴥ⁠•̥⁠`⁠ʔ If you decide to drag race Dale's Dart those aluminum heads will pay dividends.

Yeah… sure looks that way. But a man can dream.

I'm glad that drag racing is still happening. On a completely different topic, have you seen Montage of Heck, about Kurt Cobain?

@DeadDodgeGarage Год назад

I haven’t seen that somehow, but am well familiar with Nirvana and Cobain history.

Success and 10k subs might be scary 🤔

I know. It’s probably going to go right to my head.

Got the wife to subscribe purely for the beard removal. Although she did state, "I don't want him to cut all his hair off, it'd be weird."

@tonyb3864 Год назад

Great job! I love it. I have never heard of removing that clutch spring with the new style pressure plates. Now I have to ge check my challenger to see if it's still there. And if you want that thermostat housing to never leak you gotta use indian head. But then you know the consequences of that. And that's why you're probably not using that stuff. I don't use it anymore either.

@DeadDodgeGarage Год назад

My favorite thing about that stuff is the steak sauce smell. I usually use right stuff these days but I don’t think this one got any
