Well I just bought the car it would barley run long enough to get on trailer.
I Figured the parts were worth the price if i had to put money in it.
Day one got car home and read thru all the recipts.
1 invoice said hyd roller as base engine, when he upgraded he went solid roller very important.
pulled off valve cover nice surprize T&D shaft mount rockers.
They were adjusted for hyd roller. reason the engine would not run correct.
set valve lash to .017 as recomended
Installed new ngk plugs, removed old fuel cleaned fuel system, adjusted needle and seat on carb had a little trash in them. changed oil and filter.
Installed new oil dip stick and tube.
motor
Dart 310 ci, 3.0 lite crank, 5.5 long oliver rods, cp pistons,TFS TW heads, pro system carb, ported vic jr, kooks headers.
Pa c4 with brake
8.8 with spool and 9 in ends anti roll bar
manga fuel system.
So after seting valves and changing all fluids new plugs, set carb it sounds great looking to go to track in next cople weeks.
hoping to run mid high 10's
if anybody has seen car before let me know spent time in texas and florida.
I think past owner sold because he could not get to run right due to improper valve adjustment
geting doors and trunk repainted due to Police dept prior owner ship, they painted over badges on door and trunk
here are few pics

 

Dude! How do you fall into this stuff?

 

weed thru alot of BS. most people have no clue what is done to the car they are selling . The guy i bought it from thought it was hyd roller.
I took a bet that it was solid roller and it paid off.
car now makes great power, it's a animal on the street as it was built by Bennett racing to turn 7800-8100 rpms

 

Yeah this car came from brooksville. B&B auto sales they own(ed) it. Heard alot about the car. Heard it was a magazine build. Rand good from what i remember. I know the whole family, but dont talk to them anymore. The owner i believe was Rich Bauer. His son writes for Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords. I know what they were asking but if you dont mind ...what did you pay?

 

man you always find some good shit

 

thanks for the info, It was around there asking price price seemed to good to be true, so i took a shot and it paid off.
the guy had invoice from bennett for 18k when the engine was built many years ago.

 

Well why don't you keep this one and have fun with it for awhile?

 

I plan to LOL

 

Dayyyyyyyyyummmm! You go, Spence!

 

What times did it run when it was first put together?
