My '69 Chevelle/Winston cup car

[Mayo]

thats pretty cool

More fuel cell with filter.

[884x4Sub]

Protected fuel line under the car with 3/4 elect conduit in case of off roading into a gravel trap or something at the road race track. The insulated part is above where the side exit exhaust comes out.

Just need ONE of these!!!

Mocked up the gauges found I couldnt read the tach in the "stock'' position "in" the dash while just sitting in the shop let alone at 130 mph. Got out the zip cut and mounted it old school Stock Car!!

[884x4Sub]

Mounted up the rest of the cluster, the tach is just off the edge of the wheel, perfect!

[884x4Sub]

Decided to go all black, I love it, looks way better in person. I used the "Malibu" trim strip above where the glove box door would be since the car is so "stock" lol!












And a cover for the tach,. I dont care about the cracks in the dash if you saw the body on this thing you would understand

[CSGAS]

Consider, the R09s use hollow pushrods about an inch in diameter (necking down at the ball ends) and about 1.9:1 rockers on the flat tappet cams!

Priority main oiling of course, but all coolant and oiling passages are designed from scratch to reduce casting weight...no oil pump or filter bosses even inside the bottom end.

Plus, in the Cup series at least, those pics are of engines that have been superceded already. To go along with the (cobbled together) fuel injection program, the distributor's been replaced by crank sensors.

Love this build. I will be checking back for sure. Think your going to need a bigger Speedo tho. Lol. Made me laugh when I saw it. I had the same autometer stuff in a 4x4 awhile back but the speedo was somethinglike 180 or 200 mph. Got a deal..... Like I ever needed that .

keep up the great work.

Haha yeah the speedo is for looks, it wont even be hooked up. Thanks for checking in.

Got the new bullet for the car. Dart Iron Eagle block, SBC "Pontiac" Nascar heads, 740 lift solid roller camshaft, 700hp, pump gas. It came out of a drag car, ran 9:40s in a 3300lb Iroc. Hopefully its not too much of a hand grenade haha!

[cAlvis165]

I'm in. Love what your doing!

[meatwagon83]

your a crazy man!! keep up the good work!

[884x4Sub]

Found out the pan in the above pic wouldnt work as the Dart block is a "spread rail" design in the pan mating surfaces to accomodate the stroker crank. It also has the cam galley raised up in the block for the same reason. So I ended up having to get a special order roadrace wet sump pan from Moroso. And the headers were special order from Schoenfeld in Alabama. But theyre here now and after I get the trans back I can mount it and start plumbing/wiring the actual engine Im going to use instead of the mock up engine. Hours and hours on the web/phone sourcing those parts as neither of them are listed in their catalouges.

[884x4Sub]

After buying the battery box off a picture in a catalog and obsessing over placement I put it here and Im happy with it. Kind of central but over to the right to offset driver weight, protected and can still get the fuel cell out. And still room for a dry sump tank to the right.

In the previous pics the glass bumpers were just sitting there balanced on the car. After more head scratching I came up with this bumper/mount. Same done to the rear.

[884x4Sub]

You winch a car like this up on the trailer. I needed a hook, After three or four solutions I settled with this, works good, simple and super light.

[884x4Sub]

Spoke to David from Va at length about the rear spoiler. He said "Six inches tall and 60 degree angle" I said Holy Smokes thats big! He said "You have to pin that rear end down solid or it will be so dog gone loose you wont be able to drive it".....OK fine thats what we'll do. Heres a mock up. Thats 6.75" so it will be a little shorter. And a pic of the one that came on it.

[884x4Sub]

And the front spoiler....typically a car back in the day would have it narrower like in the first pic but the more air you can keep out from underneath the car like the last pic the faster you'll go. I widened it out as much as I could without losing the old school look.
Dale Sr's car in the last pic is a 1999 Monte Carlo Winston Cup car exactly what my car originally would have looked like in its racing days other than paint....if it had a front end on it. haha
Front spoilers are easy to make and easy to mount. I may have two or three different ones.

[884x4Sub]

Did body work for two straight weeks....Im happy with it. Its not the greatest but its a Mercedes by stock car standards

[884x4Sub]

Got my channel and new upper weatherstrip in. Was concerned because after shaving the drip rails the roof edge isnt stock anymore but the glass seals perfect and the door closes just like a stock Chevelle. No issues thumbs up!
