Hey guys, I haven't been on here in a while and I thought I'd post where I am with my "daily driver" Daytona clone. I finally took it for it first drive and she ran great. I need to set up the suspension, put the wheelie bars and chute on her but even on a super hot Florida weekend and a heavy foot I drove her all over town and the temp stayed around 190 the whole time. Here's a couple pics.

The actual radiator is in the nose at an angle so it would be impossible to check and add water. The other thing in the front passenger side is the water tank for the inter-cooler. |

It's the F3 but I didn't get it from the Supercharger Store, I built a 416 small block for my 67 Barracuda I've had since I was 17 with an F1 from the Superstore and they're great but with this project I had the motor professionally built by Steve Morris Racing Engines. |

i think it's great your keeping her stock, I hate it when folks Mod their cars! more pics and details please.. Yeah right, don't you hate it when someone thinks they can improve on 40+ year old technology...  Actually to me modifying these cars has always been a part of what makes them fun and great. When I was I younger the first thing we'd do to these old muscle cars is start adding bigger tires, intakes, headers, etc. I can't remember anyone I knew that was driving these cars around bone stock...except maybe the slant six cars!! While owning a museum car might be good in some cases as an investment, I'd rather build a car I can beat on and enjoy. And the Holy S#@$, responses are pretty cool too ! |

Yeah, I know the headlights aren't quite "correct" but it was simple, cheap and will get me home in the dark . My plan is to put some lightly tinted plexiglass covers over them to give it a more stock/correct look. Or maybe removable covers I can only take off when I need them. |

When I bought the body it came with a big, ugly cowl hood that I think I'll cut the cowl off, maybe leave a little 2 inch lip or so and let the rest stick up in the air for the world to see. Who knows, I may just drive it around with no hood!! |

Oh, here is the dyno pull on Youtube. The engine was built for me by Steve Morris Racing Engines. We originally thought it would be somewhere around 1800Hp so everyone was pleasantly surprised when it broke the 2000 barrier. Never doubt the Mopar Hemi!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hSZjdlKz6c |

Man that video was rowdy! Honestly I can't wrap my mind around what 2000+HP is like. 350HP is the most i've ever had. That's just an amazing. I've always wanted to pop a wheelie down the street, if any car could do it, it would be yours. |

Looks like you and I are of the same thinking process, both a little demented... ! Once you get yours done I'd love to see the pictures of our cars side by side.

I've been thinking about the Hood question and I remember more then ten years ago there was a trend for what was then called "Bikini Hoods" these were on blower engined showcars I saw at the then still held Oakland Roadster show, any how - most of the hood was cut to clear the blower and in most cases allowing the original hood contours to be retained - while the outside edge of the hood still met the fenders cowl and nose in stock fashion... leaving a large hole within the stock hood, much more attractive then simply leaving the hood off, - However with your Turbo Tube a modification would be in order as shown below... Anyhow - it's just my two cents...  |

Deffo looks like an ELEPHANT motor now with that supersonic intake tube! No Hood , no DRIVE? Whose gonna catch you fella??? I heard from my old mate Tom Nelson, anything over 1000hp on da street is lost in tyre smoke...  A 1000hp in my Street legal 68 Dart made 180mph @ 8.2 on da 1320, pump gas and street tyres...imagine doing that on da street... The mind boggles...  |
