    The Purple Monster

    Let's see if I can get some pictures going in here! I've had the headlight covers off of the car for probably close to 7 years now. I decided to make a change! I made some quick tabs out of aluminium riveted them to the hood and then attached them to the covers. Then covered the seam with...

    Alright let me bring this thing up to speed.I switched this thing over to an auto a couple years back. I didn't get much time to work things out before receiving orders for recruiting duty. While I was out on recruiting duty I hit the track one time in 3 years.Recently I pulled it out of...

    Should the trans spin by hand?

    I ran across this while building my transmission. I found that either my rear or front clutch discs were not fully seated.You need to assemble the kickdown drum, front clutch, rear clutch at the same time then slide it into the trans. This ensures that both sets of clutch discs are on...

    Project Superman: '90 Talon - building my first drag race car

    Looks really good!For mock up of some parts / wiring I just tossed in an empty block, head, empty trans case and tcase. Made it easy and it wasn't a pain to put it all in there just for a mock up.

    Right rear kicked out tagged the wall and sent me sliding passanger door first down the track. At about 110mph..I was in the right lane and hit the wall on the left side. Not exactly sure what happened.

    Yeah sucks... Oh well. Cutting the front off today. It still runs so as long as the engine mounting locations are not bent then it will be easy to fix.

    I'm waiting to be charged for the bearings that are out of stock nationally. LOLI have a list and priced them, along with seals. If you talk to liberty they will tell you their prices up front. About $400. That is maching the 300m shaft and tail housing.Count in 4 bearings, 2 seals...

    Trans Eating Reverse Switches

    There is suppose to be a crush washer on there to help seal transmission up. Plus it holds the switch in the correct spot.

    Sorry I missed your question.Depends on what you get done. I had good gears/shafts it only cost me about $900 for their work.I STILL had to build it. New bearings, bushings, seals, shims should all be done as well.

    Same exact stuff Dogbox racing was doing. I have never stripped a gear or broke teeth or anything even at full weight. 600ftlbs torque and the gears hold fine. No stress cracks or wear shown.

    Thought about it but decided not to yet. It made 800whp before with out it so I figured that was plenty of power already.

    Venolia Pistons Worth the Price?

    The Purple Monster

    What head? The one I currently use has +1mm valves and casting marks removed from exhaust and intake ports. Nothing crazy.I had a head that MAD Mike built for me that worked pretty good but I unfortunately melted that one.

    Ha..... They are probably one of the best shops in NC so they are packed with stuff. I was told 3 week min. I'm on week 2 now. I haven't even heard pricing or what all needs done yet.We went over the complete setup and wrote down what I wanted accomplished.Balanced from balancer to...

    No, I wish I did. I'm not a fab guy so hopefully someone finishes up theirs soon!Had my new gauges come in. Finally wired everything up and tested them. Seems like my switches, gauges, and relay/fuse box is working good.

    Mad Mike almost had a heart attack in this car ;) That was when it was only about 500whp.
  43. C_Keagy

    The Purple Monster

    I do but I've been trying to sell them. Sucks though because most dsmers are cheap and don't want to spend money on them. So they will probably lay in the garage.
