Looks good! Is that a standard size oil filter?
Did you do anything with your suspension?
James, sorry to hear about the broke crank! I guess if you have a 9 second Omni running that much boost you have to expect something to break.

Couldn't have got you're first 9 sec pass at a better place then at the end of Drag Week! Congratulations James, and all the crew that made it through the week. It was really cool seeing the turbo...
Team SDAC at 2:39:36 :)
REPLAY: Day 3 from Union Grove, WI - Hot Rod Drag Week 2015

You can see the guys run at around the 5:04:00 mark. James ran 10.89 @ 130 mph - JT ran 11.0 @ 138 mph - Pat broke but come back later and ran a 11.99 @ 115 mph. Very cool! Not sure if they ran more,...
Only Kumho I'm finding is the ECSTA AST 50R.
Unfortunately I can't even get the Kumho's locally. I tried a tire shop in Ashland Ky, Huntington WV, and Prottorville Ohio they all told me their...
How do the 205/55/15's look on a Daytona? Hate to buy wheels right now, trying to spend money on the Charger.
Just a good all around summer tire, with decent treadwear. Everything I'm finding is like a autocross tire. Local tire shops have nothing, and saying they can't get anything. Might have to start...
What's everyone doing for 225/50/15 tires? Needing a set for a Daytona Shelby Z. All I'm really coming up with are Kumho Ecsta AST.
I've ran a Fel-Pro head gasket with copper head gasket spray on a O-ringed block, and it did fine. But I've never ran one on any of my other engines.
Have you ran their bolts on higher boost?
Any problems with Fel-Pro Head Bolts? Going on a 2.5 with around 20 lbs of boost. Looks like people are having good results with Fel-Pro head gaskets, and I'm curious about the head bolts.
Great build! It's good to see a Daytona being built to run, instead of being used for a l-body donor ;)
What was the setup on your blue 11.8 GLH. I know you ran the DC intercooler kit, but what all was done to the top half of the motor? Ported head, manifolds, bigger throttle body?
I was thinking the same thing about the shift linkage :) It doesn't have a dash plaque either, just the factory Omni one.
I was impressed with what I seen of the Powertour. I went to Charleston and briefly talked with the CSX guys. Super nice cars. The owner of the 89 also owns the birthday car. The next morning I got...
I'm not far from Charleston. I'll bring a car down and hangout for a night.
Yeah bearings would be done :thumb: I've just never used a flex hone. I'll have the engine on a stand soon, if I see something I need a machine shop for I'll probably hold off on this block for now....
Thanks Mike!
Im still on the fence with what direction I'm wanting to go with the block. Trying to keep it simple. Needing a clutch has already snowballed to this ;-)
I've got a spare T II block I'd like to clean up and drop in the Charger with a rod shifted 555 and new clutch. I'm looking at 3 1/2" flex-Hones but not sure what grit to purchase. Haven't decided on...
I'd put the car back together now while you have help and enjoy it. Do all the general maintenance stuff that's going to be needed on a car that's been off the road for a while. Get a wideband, nice...
Are the turbo Mopar crews in impound today? Lol
I was watching a little live stream and they were talking about the impound lot, every time they showed cars while talking you could see the Omni,...
Car looks great! What size tires are those?
