Specs

Powertrain

Engine: A Callies crank with a 4.50-inch stroke helps the Keith Black Hemi displace 572 ci, and 7.100-inch GRP rods sling lightened CP 12.0:1 pistons with Akerly and Childs rings. Up top, Stage V Engineering race heads flow an astounding 510-cfm intake and 308-cfm exhaust at 28 inches with the help of 2.4- and 1.9-inch titanium valves. A Crane Cams solid roller with 0.785/0.760 lift with 284/286 duration at 0.050 on a 112-degree LSA pushes Crane lifters and Mikronite-treated T&D Barton roller rockers with 1.7:1 and 1.6:1 ratios. The 13-quart oil system is fed by a Keith Black blown alcohol pump and uses spray bars to bathe the valvesprings. The beast is fed by two Pro Systems Dominators, and a 175hp shot from Nitrous Supply was added before PGD for a bit of insurance.

 

Power: On the dyno, obsession over detail rewarded Darren with a reliable 1,032 hp at 7,200 rpm and 817 lb-ft of torque at 5,800 rpm, off the fence.Transmission: A JW Ultraglide built by Sid Neal with a 9.5-inch converter yields about 4,800-rpm stall.Rearend: A custom 9-inch by Lake Point Tube Chassis uses a Strange Ultra case with lightened 4.10 gears, a lightened Mark Williams spool, and 40-spline Mark Williams axles.

 

Chassis

Suspension: A bolt-in coilover conversion from RMS AlterKtion with 400-pound springs and AFCO double-adjustable shocks with an RMS crossmember takes up the front, while a custom four-link rear with an antiroll bar uses 130-pound Koni double-adjustable coilovers.

 

Brakes: Slotted Strange Engineering disc brakes are fed pressure from a Wilwood master cylinder. The proportioning valve and line-lock are also Wilwood items.

Wheels: Weld Racing Aluma Star wheels measure 15x3.5 up front with a 2.75-inch backspace; there are massive 15x15 Weld Pro Stars in the rear with a 7.5-inch backspace.

 

Tires: A pair of 28x7.50 Mickey Thompson Sportsmans provide just enough streetable meat up front, while 15x33x18.5 Hoosier Quick Time Pros stick the rear to the track. A set of DOT-approved M/Ts are used for street duty.

 

Style

Body: Though nothing in the drivetrain is sacred, Darren wanted the exterior of the car to look like a 'Cuda. So the body remains stock, with all appropriate emblems, except for minor wheelwell enlargement in the rear.Paint: A beautiful coat of PPG's Plum Crazy Purple was laid down by Keith Martins at Cruisin' Classics in Snellville, Georgia.

 

Interior: Though it retains very proper 'Cuda feel, there's almost nothing stock in the Phillip Allen-crafted interior other than the Rim-Blo wheel and the dashpad, due to the number of safety and chassis modifications. The seats are aluminum Kirkey pieces with Simpson belts, and the gauges are from Auto Meter.
