This is not your usual '68 Dart Super Stock clone. At only 5 lbs of boost, his engine makes over 650 RWHP on pump gas, as a fully auto 727, .91 gears and a SureGrip, nd drives quite well, iven its potential for violent acceleration.
We started with a very solid Southern body, tripped it to an empty shell, nd began a meticulous restoration. The interior is classic Super Stock Dart, ith window regulators removed, uper Stock seats and brackets added, nd rear seat removed in favor of a metal divider panel. We also custom-made the roll cage, ut since this car was never really intended to see a lot of track time, e designed the cage for comfortable operation and ease of entrance and exit. As the photos depict, verything about this car is extraordinarily well done, nd no corners were cut. And while the body is laser-straight, nd the silver pearl paint is outstanding, he engine may be this car's most unique feature. It is a 504" Stage 3 Keith Black aluminum block with fully-ported raised-exhaust port blower heads, riginally built by Dick Landy Industries, nd repaired/refreshed by them in 1996.
It sat in its original shipping crate until 2010, hen we purchased it for this build. We had to make a lot of mods to the engine's cooling passages to get it to cool on the street. We also installed a smaller cam (spec'd by Rich Nedbal), lowed the blower down, nd removed the alcohol Dominators in favor of gasoline 950s. The rest of the engine is exactly as it left DLI.
This car is set up mainly as a limited driver and show car. It idles good at 850 RPM, ut pulls strong to 7,000. With a shift-kitted auto valve body and high-upshift governor, he car drives good with no banging, ut would be faster with a manual valve body that would let it use the engine's full range. As it sets, ith a little traction, his car will easily run in the 10s. And that is with the big 10/71 blower, xtremely under-driven to produce less than 5 lbs of boost to accommodate pump gas and to reduce inlet temperatures while driving.
Guaranteed; wherever you take this car, here will NOT be another one like it! It has received numerous awards and has now been a featured car in CarCraft Magazine.
