Re: Blue's Barracuda

I like the cooling mod on the intake manifold.

I recently overheated my 408 and #8 piston was the only one to be damaged.

Re: Oulton Park US Auto Show

I’ll be racing in the ‘Cuda. I appear to be in a class of 5 so aiming for a 3rd at least against the Fords.

Re: Matt's 1970 'Trans-Am' Challenger

Well they say if you want something done, give it to someone busy.

Looks like I now have a 610HP, dry sump, fuel injected, all aluminium LS small block.

Better crack on with the rest of the car I suppose...

Re: Matt's 1970 'Trans-Am' Cuda

Just out of interest Matt, what have you been revving that to? Peak Torque is at 4300rpm and peak HP at 5400rpm I think I set the shift light to 5,700 rpm. The car feels to me like it normally wants to change gear somewhere below this point, and I felt I should err on the side of caution It's been ...

Re: Matt's 1970 'Trans-Am' Challenger

Excellent! Are you going CDS or Chrome Moly for the cage? I am expecting to go CDS . My understanding of using Moly is that the higher strength of the material would allow an equally strong cage to be built out of thinner-wall tube, and save some weight. However the thinner wall tube would not be l...

Re: Matt's 1970 'Trans-Am' Challenger

Not too much to report here, but some progress is on the cards. Can't do much on the car without an engine and box to mock up in position. I found a Jerico box fairly local last year, but crate LS engines have been unobtainable for a couple of years , with no end currently in sight. So I gave up wai...

Re: Matt's 1970 'Trans-Am' Cuda

I was going to strip and rebuild the engine properly over the winter , but it turns out the engine had other plans. Donington , September. Sudden bad vibration whilst racing, quickly followed by a very big bang. Coasted to a stop, fortunately out of the way. Looks like the crank finally let go. It's...
