Colin’s ’70 Dodge Charger R/T
We prepared and installed a fresh 440 for Colin’s 4 speed Dana ’70 Charger.
Chris’s ’69 Chevrolet Camaro
Chris’s stunning Camaro has had various jobs completed at Billadeau Speed, and features classic super stock style sign writing by Craig Ainge.
Chris also has brought in the original Russo’s Rat ’69 Chevelle and it’s with us for a full restoration to take it back to it’s glory days of 1974. Look out for a full post with more details later in the year!
Graham’s ’70 Dodge Challenger R/T SE
Graham brought his Challenger in for a new ignition and various other small jobs, before heading over to John Sleath’s rolling road.
Al’s 440
Al’s 440 was rebuilt for his ’68 Dodge Charger. It was a mild build, producing 428hp.
Richard’s 472 HEMI
This blown 472ci HEMI was built for a genuine 1960s nostalgia dragster.
Ian’s 500
We rebuilt the 500ci Mopar engine for Ian’s stunning Jenson Interceptor.
Matt’s 408
Built for Matt’s 70 ‘Cuda circuit racer, this 408ci small block Mopar produced 440hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque.
Adam’s 493
This 493ci Mopar came in for check over. It had 13:1 compression, broken pistons and rings, and bent valves – quite a mess. We dropped the compression to 10.8:1 and sorted all the problems, resulting in a 550hp street engine, with 550ft-lbs of torque. This will make Adam’s ’72 Challenger haul ass!
Jamie’s ’71 Plymouth Satellite
Jamie’s 1971 Satellite came to us as a stock 383 car. Now it’s had the full Super Stock treatment and has been kitted out with a 493ci, 685hp motor, a new transmission, a Dana 60, Caltracs, a roll bar and a period Super Stock paint job. Shake ‘n’ Bake!
