This is the Superbee at Speedworld Motorplex in Whitman, Arizona. The car ran a best of 13.50 at 101 mph, with slight modifications such as slicks and headers. I found that just wasn't fast enough. I contacted Arlen Vanke who raced for Chrysler for many years, we decided to build a 500 ci. aluminum block, stage 6 aluminum headed monster motor with a full roller cam, milidon gear drive, and a full Barry Grant fuel system! The chassis is being fitted with a rack and pinion steering with coil overs, a complete ladder bar backhalf with coil overs, 12 point cage, and a customized interior. The reared is fitted with a Dana rear with 4:88's, Mark Williams spool and axles, that is connected to Crager 15 x 14 Dragstars wrapped in 33 x 18.5-15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Tires. With an estimated 800 streetable hp, and the car weighing 3500 lbs. should run mid-to-low 9's, at around 140-145.
AS YOU CAN SEE THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN STRIPPED AND THE ROLLCAGE HAS STARTED TO BE INSTALLED. THE BACK HALF IS IN ITS FINAL MEASURING STAGE AND READY FOR WELDING.
