This was from 2 weeks ago when we dyno'd it and took it to an 1/8th mile track.

Very nice, quality build, you can see just from the pictures that its profesionally built and fabricated. Great instal, would like to see it up @ New England Dragway.....The only thing i would do differently is put that engine in a 1967 Dodge Dart, or 67 Formula S Notch back Barracuda.....But Mad Props to you. I love that thing!

Thanks guys! I doubt we'll be at New England drag way, but you can fly out to Truck Fest August 1st and 2nd. We'll be there! If I do another car it'll probabaly be a ProMod 1963 Corvette split window body, or a 1965 Cobra. But that'll be a long time off.

I don't have any really good pictures of the oil pan. But I removed 2 5/8" out of the stock dodge pan and then added a piece about 10" long from an industrial pan and then added a 2'x12" addition on the right side for added capacity.

The oil system is stock type. I modified the oil pan and shortened the pick up tube. Now this oil pan can hold up to 16 quarts if you wanted to. I run it with 14qts.
