Updates
Anybody doing any updates to their cars over this winter?
I am going to try and purchase a set of mon springs for the rear.
I also want to get the 2 1/2" exhaust off the car and set it up for 3" and proably no mufflers for now. This means I'll be rejetting the carb.
I also want to look into purchaseing a set of slicks.

I still need to get it up and running, not enough hours in the day...
Just the electrical left and it should be done (for now). I may have to call in some help ($) to get all the wiring done the way I want it.

These pictures are a little old
Got the motor in the car over the summer
Started on the wiring
Because I want to keep the car on the street I need lights and wipers and all that stuff, its taking me much longer then I hoped

Wow, that's almost 11" narrower than an a-body.
Didn't you put a dana in your Dart? You should have known the 8 3/4 was going to come apart, even though the K is lighter, you are pushing more power to it.

The bottom of the Syclone motor is done. I only have a one car garage so the Ty is in there right now and the Sy is in storage. Here's the Sy engine mocked up.
When I get the TY back together I'll put it up for sale so I can finish the Sy.

I found a few issues last season that netted me just over 1/10th in the heat. I also took some weight out of the car. I am hoping to be in the 10.0 range in the better weather N/A. I am pretty sure I will be able to get into the 9`s at some point

Valley Chassis in Poughkeepsie is putting it in.
I planned on fore/aft engine limiters, shifter mount, modifying 1 piece of the tunnel so I can get the Glide out from the top and the new Dana with new brackets for 4 link, shocks and wheelie bars. I ended up with all of that plus; driveshaft hoop (previous owner never added/moved hoop when he went from 727 to Glide), Strange disc brakes, double adjustable shocks, new springs, new wheelie bars, new 4 link bars, replace front 4 link brackets, new bracket to relocate fuel pump, new fuel line(s), new shock crossmember...
