Freiburger's Final Run Down at MIR Raceway in the 1968 Big-Block 440 Dart! | Roadkill

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

With the 440 Dart from Roadkill Garage in hand, Freiburger and Finnegan meet up with Vice Grip Garage and Roadworthy Rescues owner Derek Bieri to take a 1968 big-block Dart known as “El Dart-O” on a tire-smoking road trip that includes a final run down Memphis International Raceway and some hair-raising passes down George Ray’s Wildcat Dragstrip.

    Stock non high performance 440's ran 12's in A bodies..We ran 12.10's with a 72 duster with a 68 440 from a C body those are 350 hp rating not the higher power versions...We ran a 72 low compression smog 440 to a high 12 in the same car! The 68 440 even had one cyl at 110 for compression and it ran 12.10's..4.10 gears good convertor,traction full interior street car! Was a Duster Twister 318.
