Spotted at the Portland Roadster Show last weekend.
The signage said a narrowed Devin body, 180 cu. in., 149 mph record holder.
Original 3 speed manual transmission.
Nothing about the rear end gears but they must be TALL.

The 170 will spin fast. I was gearing my LSR Barracuda for 150 mph at 8000 RPM. That requires 3.73s with a 205/65R15 tire. |

Yep, very cool. Maybe we can beat 150 this year with Bob Dally's 170 Bonneville tank (66 Barracuda)?? 140s is more likely... Lou |

Yep, that Devin is definitely a LOT more slippery than my 'cuda (same one Josh started). Not to mention less frontal area as well. What intake is that in the photo? Almost looks like a stock piece. And what carb? Glad to see they got the resto done on this car so soon. It was in pretty rough shape when the started out. |

Carb looks like an Edelbrock Performer/Carter AFB, but it may be a Carter WCFB. That does look like a stock intake manifold, though. I think I see an adapter under the carb so it may even be a Super Six intake. Not a good choice for high RPMs with a four barrel. |

Looks like an Offy intake to me. Not sure on carb. Either an oldy, or maybe some kind of Demon/aftermarket. Can't wait to taste the salt again and help Bob set records this summer! Lou |
