Reaper Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I had a us body source 2" cowl pin on hood on my 71 that I liked didn't have any problems with it... Also has us body source heavy duty glass fenders but they took me about 8 hours each to hang and get looking right... It sucked lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I will check US Body Source out, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Well I'm doing it! The ZL1 is up for sale and I have a good line on a new tall deck Dart. I wont be happy if I don't do it the way I want to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I have a US body hood and would never! buy another from them, the passengers side is too narrow so the hood to fender gap is about 1/2", yet it fits around the headlight extensions good so it can't be moved to tighten the gap, and the drivers side gap is good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 I wonder if Year One is any good, or Harwood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 year one will be selling one of the hoods we have talked about, if I was going to buy another, I liked the one Bill (502ci) got, it is a composite material, for fiberglass I lean towards Glastek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Well it's official, the ZL1 is gone... Time to order the new Dart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Here I go again, selling the new Profiler/Schmidt heads and intake if anybody is looking... Just picked up some CFE/BMF heads that are a little bigger. Think I'm going with a Tall deck Dart 4.60 block set up for .904 lifters and billet mains, Callies Magnum crank 4.75 stroke, Oliver rods, Comp Solid roller, and another Profiler intake. 632 cid 10.5-1 compression pump gas monster. I may end up with a little less stroke but not much, trying to build a torque monster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 If anybody is looking I have a new set of Oliver Rods for sale, they are part #C6635BB8. I'm going to a longer Rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIL' Mac Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Are these for a tall block? What are you asking for them? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'm asking $975 for the rods, they are 6.635 long.(+.500) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Good price but too long for my application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have decided to go with a longer stroke (4.625) and a tall deck so they are a little short for me, depends on stroke and piston. I have them listed with a pic on race junk for $975. but I will sell them to someone here for $900, not a big difference but that is what I paid for them. I had a friend that worked for Oliver and that's how I got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Ok, so here I go again, this is the plan and I'm sticking to it this time! This is what I have so far; BMF 350 heads Jerry Arnold port work 2.30” Del West titanium intake valves 1.88” Manley Extreme Duty Stainless exhaust valves PAC 1300 Springs PAC 600 Series Tool Steel Retainers T&D Shaft Rocker system Edelbrock Super Victor II Intake Callies Magnum 4.625"Crank This is what is left; Dart Big M Block Billet mains .904 lifter Diamond Pistons 4.60” (on order) Callies H-Beam 6.7 Rods Comp Cams Solid Roller Isky Red Zone Solid Roller lifters I plan on running an electric water pump and fans, manual brakes and manual rack & pinion steering. I will have 1 belt for the alternator. I'm going to run a custom 4-link with a Ford 9" TH400 trans and tube A-arms, hope to be able to run a 11.5"-12" tire. I also plan on keeping the stock bench seat and shift on the column.(don't want to get to crazy) I may even add a little spray later down the line if I want a little more (200-300 hp shot) I hope to have it done by around this time next year, would make a nice Christmas gift for me...

Mike 57 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 618 inch big block sounds like fun! I hope you can hook it up! I run a 28/10.5 and it is pretty tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 I love tubbed out cars, especially 1st Gen Monte Carlo's. But I want to keep it as inconspicuous on the outside as possible. I'm sure I will have to open up the wheel wells but don't want to notch the frame unless I have to. Now with the tire compounds they have I don't think you need the big tires that you use to. A friend of mine (Kyle Kirker, New Era Race Craft.com) has a 55 Chevy with a small block and a F-1 on it and he has ran 8.002 on a 11.5 tire. Different animal than what I'm building but I'm hoping to make it hook. He is putting together my suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Mike, what does your car weigh and have you done anything to lighten it up? I'm wondering if I can get my car down to 3500lbs or less and keep is looking stock on the outside and interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Mine weighs 3992 full interior all steel. I did change the front brakes to Wilwood that probably took off 75 pounds. Also left out a few bumper braces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 I pulled all of the heater/air stuff out, I will be going to a fiberglass hood and maybe trunk lid and different brakes all around, also manual rack an pinion and manual brakes and tube front A-arms. So there is nothing under the dash and I will be using a fuel cell. Any other ideas are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 mine weighed in at 3650 all ac stuff gone, but heater was still there, alum heads and a glass hood, no gas tank, fuel cell full interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 That's not bad Sam, I think I can get there. Just searched some info on how to do it and found several ideas. I think I can get there maybe a little lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
