OK, Yes, I have read the engine build matrix, I have scoured the forum looking at builds, quarter mile times, etc. That being said and done I ask this. Can some of you experienced Slanters post your formula for a streetable 14 second car. Parameters: 1963 Dodge Dart 270, 225, 904. Full interior, daily driver, good handling (no drag suspension set ups) no turbo or supercharger. No small task for sure but I have confidence in your guys and this is just fun! |

Look here: http://slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php ... ht=64+dart Car has ~60k on it by me, and I reringed the motor 4 yrs ago (~12k miles). A few dozen drag/road course events. Been driving this around for 15 yrs and running 14s for 13 yrs. Hope to do some engine mods (finally) and drop to 13s next year?? Lou |

OK, this is my idea. Fresh bottom end, good rod bolts, the best pistons I can afford, cast iron rings. Hi-vol Oil Pump. A real 9:1 C.R. Clifford 3-2-1 headers, 2-1/4" pipe to Walker super turbo single in/ dual out muffler with 2" pipes out the back. Hyper pack intake (given I can acquire one ), 450 Holley (I already have). Electronic Ignition, Self ported head with 1.70/1.44 valves, HP Valve Springs, Erson 270 or similar. 904 with 3000-3200 stall speed, 1957 ford 9" with 3.50:1 gears (Already got it). And maybe a 70 hp shot if I can figure out how to adapt the Zex universal wet system I have off an Eclipse. What say ye? critiques welcomed. Brad |

You will not need the HV oil pump... Cylinder head porting work w/ oversize valves... the head is where the most power is hiding. DD |

2nd vote for head work, skip the h-pak not enough bang for the buck. As for the bottom end if your budget allows I would look for a long rod set-up. GREAT headwork with engbldr valves, and port work. Finally since your goal is a 14 second quarter and wasn't mileage might as well look for 4.11's to stuff in the rear. |

Yes on the headwork. You will definitely need nitrous to hit 14s with that combo. Lou |

Yes I am leaning toward a milder build and a lil spray. This is a long term project and all this will happen incrementally. I am just trying to get a good handle on some proven combinations and what they run E.T. wise. Thanks for all the input. More please. |
