Unfortunately this is one of the many threads that suffered with lost pics when something crashed a few years ago and something wasn't backed up
Some good info still there in the text tho

Thanks Rob
Was hoping to find out more about the internals,roller rockers is a new nugget
The proverbial question is; If it can run 13.1 on street tyres,there were Pod Timing slips in history,what sort of hp tq would that take to do such a run?

I cant remember / don't have the formula to hand but I think you need the speed to work out the approx. hp. And the car's weight...
I think Pete W knows these things off the top of his head

Very nice, I remember when Alex first put it on the road, it looks just as good now, Alex was a perfectionist.

Nice car but the Fury looked meaner, and all round cooler imo, just needed a sixpack install = perfect C body

It does look plainer yes and there are more around,but the more I look the more I like,the condition is stunning and the motor sounds fantastic,well pleased
Did you do the manual valve body transmission in this Dunc?
