Honestly they’d probably run similar ET’s because the Ventura would 60’ better, but the Civic would probably have 10-15mph on it going out the back door.

Throwing these out there.

The first picture is my grandpa's 1964 Impala SS. I was lucky and blessed enough to inherit it in May. He was the original owner, so it's staying in the family for good. We managed to find pretty much every original sales and ownership document related to the car. 71,300 original miles, 327 with a powerglide.

The second car is my dad's 1967 Plymouth Satellite. It came as a pale yellow 318 car, now it has twin turbos on a 470. It's the screamer compliment to the Impala cruiser.

Wow. Gorgeous.

I wish. Just a 95 coupe.

The only "I was born ready Mr Shelby" moment was in mitsu that was all wheel drive and had all kinds of 4 cylinder go fast goodies built into it, very fast! It's amazing what a little forced induction is capable of.

I am loving the Green.
And both are stellar pieces.

Very nice cars Conductor. I'm partial to the b-body Mopar though, it brings back some fond memories.

I learned to respect some of the little engines that could when we ran with the pack a few summers when we shared the track with them. They ran their classes and we ran ours with the odd grudge match thrown in. They also learned to respect old school big black chevy's........

Thank you, my dad painted the car himself in our garage probably 12 or so years ago. He's had Mopars since he was a teenager in the 80s, before this it was a 68 Dart.

97 Cubic Inches that’s a big supercharger!

I know right? That’s like a medium sized Whipple nowadays.

Here's one for the oil burners, (Jeff!)

He needs to re gear it and see what it will do. He's running out of gear at 1000 ft.....without the nitrous.

Anything with twins is awesome. I'm jealous.

Over-revving a 12V is no bueno.

 

[jeffsqartan]

Here's what Ol' Cleeter needs:
60lb valve springs
4k or 5k governor spring kit
regear it
Injectors (I would bet $500 it has 370 marine injectors in it as is)
Compounds.

I'm really hoping that they just add a turbo to it and don't give up on that he351. The combo in my truck is an he351 with an S475. I'd easily push over 80lbs of boost if I had more fuel to add. There's no reason that wouldn't work doubly as well on that little Galaxie.

Also, over-revving is fine if he has valve springs lol. Which, I have no idea. But they're only like $100 for the set. Considering the work that was done to that car, I feel like it already has the springs in it. At least, I would hope so. That's one of the first mods I did to my engine before it ever got installed in my Dodge.

 

[jeffsqartan]

PS, my old truck, Frank, made 435 at the wheels with the stock HX35 and 370 marine injectors. The he351 isn't much different from the HX35, which is why I'm betting that's what he's got in it.
I have a video of the dyno from a few years ago. Thought it was on my YT channel, but guess not. Will upload it later on.

Rusty’s organizing a cruise on the 20th through some south-central Indiana roads.

 

[jeffsqartan]

It would be fun to do that. There's a race the next day, but I don't see why the car can't pull double duty.

We might even be ready to (short) roadtrip the Gal for this route dependent.
