Strip Only



 
 
 
 
 
 


 
Bill Ritts built this car for race use only, and the list of parts reflects this theme quite well.
The basic car is complimented by 'glass doors, fenders, bumpers, and hood with a Harwood scoop. All windows are lexan to further lighten the mass.
A back-half was done to accomodate the updated hardware required for good ET's.
The 32x16 Goodyears are bolted to a dana axle, which houses 4.88's and is held in place by ladder bars and Hal coil-overs.
Farther up, a Dynamic 8" converter flashes to 5300 before it sends the 727 spinning.

 
Under the 'glass hood resides a 451 built to strip quality specs.
A bullet proof bottom-end contains Bill Miller aluminum rods connected to 0-deck Ross flat-tops and an Ultradyne 683 roller cam.
The Indy SR heads were ported and cut .050 to add a little more grease to the fire and Crane roller rockers handle the cam profile.
An M-1 intake and 1050 AED Dominator top off the beast.

All machine work was done by Buck Racing Engines in King, N.C. but the engine was built by Bill himself at home.

 
 
 
The best performance to date was recently at Mopars at the Rock.
Bill ran a 10.02 @ 133 mph.
His 1/8th mile was 6.38 @ 108.88
The following weekend he ran a 6.30 @ 110.68, so the quarter times are already quite a bit quicker.
Bill says the track was awesome and the car ran straight as an arrow. He's just lovin' it :)

 
Bill gives alot of thanks to Mark Dudley Performance for all the help and advice during this project, his supportive wife Joan, whose daily driver is a '69 383 Dart that runs 12's, and his Dad, who's been a big help over the years.
