yooo spend some time learinin how to do a free lowering trick and then some street trim racing at David Freiburgers "Duct Tape Drags" i had a blast and spent time bullshitting and racing with friends and meeting new people
You are a frickin genius Chris. Smurf deserves a bow and a white over B5 blue. It would be off the charts a fun and pretty car. Just like I like my women.
Seen all your vids and been watching for awhile. IMO, this is the best vid I've seen. Isn't it great to finally have a car run the way you want and it does it reliably...every time!!!
I love the sound of Smurf at the autocross so mean!! nothing sound's like the Big block mopar.. deep sound mopower. Smurf also need's the goofy hump removed out of the outer wheel house so u can get the bigger wider tire under car, Man pedal's with woman's hydrolic cylinder lol
Hmmm interesting Chris, I tried to do this exact mod (flip front leaf hangers) on my Challenger E-body several years ago but the factory must of decided too many line workers were sending out lowered Chargers so they changed the design so that the bolt holes are narrower at the top I think and wide at the bottom, so therefore you couldn’t flip it upside down dammit! Also maybe so that line workers didn’t accidentally put one in upside down one side and the other up if the bolt holes were symmetrical…got around it by getting some custom made hanger brackets with three hole settings. The lowest ride height setting might of torn the drive shaft weight off on the tunnel first drive, you wouldn’t think there is such a thing as too low but there is! Keep the awesome work, keeps me entertained over here in Australia, cheers. PS, I might have written this BEFORE you got to the bit where you mentioned the different size bolt pattern!
Between you, Andy Wood at Unity Motorsports Garage, David Freiburger, & David Vizard, you guys are gonna dispel the old tunnel ram wives tale! Would love to see you at the No Name Nationals, but it is quite a pull from Vegas to Sikeston Missouri.
Don't waste your time with a Dana. Highest gear with a Dana is 3.55. 8and three q. Can handle what ever you can throw at it. Where your screwing up is trying a 2 whatever or 3 whatever with a clutch. Before you take out the mighty 8 put a 4:56 in it with the Auto. That will be your best time. I put a tremec six speed in my pro stock 67 GTX with 850 hp.. pure love.. I'm just playing around on the street with it now. It'll run 200 mph with the 4:56. Check out some web sites with the gear calculators on them. My hyd clutch only has about a two inch stroke. Clutch is nice and easy. Make sure you weld a pedal stop under the clutch or you can damage your pressure plate from over extending it. Rock On Bruder man.
Smurf is my favorite out of all your chargers! Every time you post stuff about Smurf it’s like hell yea a new episode of Chris”s version of roadkillgarage
Sliders work well but not really roadcar stuff. And you will need a Panhard or Watts or the back will go everywhere. Some racing garden sheds have been there and were just dangerous until lateral location was resolved. That will also be your roll centre then
Actually opposite of everything you said 🤷♂️ the axle is far more stable with sliders than shackles also rides nice and smooth. I’ve put thousands of miles on them already
Oh yeah some more stuff just FYI. Get some solid spicer u joints. I think you already have a drive shaft loop. If not get one. Your headed into the sub 10 second range I don't know what HP you have but you are soon to find out. I would get a custom drive shaft made. But that's just me in fear for my LIFE
Great idea about back to back testing. You don't see this with youtubers much. I don't think those 2.91s are gonna get you into the 11s though. I hope you prove me wrong.
Really awesome video Chris at the end you're drifting it looked like the rear end was moving in and out on the wheel well would it be good idea for a panhard bar
Im guessing Gears will give ya 5 tenths . I dont see why it wont run 11s easy ! Every one says TRams arent streetable . I had one with two small holleys on a stock 318 it ran perfect. I had 2 4s with 2 650 edelbrocks out of the box on a stock. 440 Chalenger.Cold you could stomp it and fry the tires. I dont get why people say they are complecated to make work. My63 Max Wedge has 2 750 carters on a cross ram .I never had any trouble with it.GOTTA have at least 1 barrel per cylnder ! LOL
Ummm a few friendly warnings... Der breeze... If you go the 4:56 route, weld an oil pan guard to your k member. You probably will need wheelie bars. So be a good boy scout and be prepared when your front end is 4 ft off the ground. Ignore me and your day at the track will be very short.
Waiting with bated breath to see what Smurf will do with the slicks and 3:91's. Any chance that you might make it up to Minnie for the Mopars in the Park show this year come June?
Respectfully inquiring Mr. Birdsong. Isn't it time to build a dirty Mary crazy Larry car? 440, black interior, except maybe a four speed; but got to have them slots. What do you say?
Don't let the look fool you. There is big money here. This guy is not poor nor are his cars "cheap" To quote dolly "it costs a lot of money to look this cheap"
@@junkerup yeah and how much tied to investments and money coming from you tube? Don't insult my intelligence. I have a few mopars including a triple black 69 440 rt dana car like the one you picked up on that cash and trade. You just traded a charger and 14 large on a whim and now claim poverty? Sure, whatever you say.
0 - 5 oil weight is horrible for any engine especially during summer months and since most new used and new vehicles run at 210 ° normal temps . I run rotella 15w40 in our 90s jeeps and a my mopars with a WIX 51515
How do you handle vapor lock/ percolation? Do run electric fuel pumps or mechanical? I ask since I have been having some issues with a mechanical pump.
Oh man i know your pain, i run a mechanical fuel pump and i have a cast iron manifold with a Thermoquad. One thing that helped a ton was to get a fuel filter with an extra nipple and run the return fuel back to the tank. You can usually get a fuel sending unit with a return line so easy to circulate. That dropped my fuel temp at the carb by almost 20 degrees. Cheap and effective way to go!
