Default pictures of the laser..56k warning!

but i finally got some pictures off of the camera...





(Thw wiper still wasnt on here, it was drying)


This shot gives a good look at the RR quarter...it was wrecked when we got it...



If you look closely, you can see the demon relaxing in the background, waiting for its new heart.



the hood was pretty bad with the typically 80s-90s Chrysler Leprocy..



One chillin' with the bimmer...



and how about some pictures of the aforementioned heart of the demon..


before paint, checking the fitment of the intake..good oiling up top..


with the first set of valve covers, to see how it looks (we probably will not use these ones..im not into chrome)





and with the valve covers that i plan to use...although they are in need of a good bead blasting..these will match the intake better..


and now with it all painted up, with some junk intake and valve covers mocked up..


it will also get fitted up with a set of hooker super comp headers, and of course a balancer...

that motor is going into our 1971 dodge demon...(well, its a 72, witha 71 grille).

this is when we picked it up..got an unbelievable deal on it. the demon is just waiting for the engine and transmission, then some minor paint work...there is a scratch on the LR, and the hood and front rad support needs to be painted...also, to cut back on costs, we are having the wheels painted dark grey instead of buying new ones...its got aftermarket suspension, fiberglass front end, race seats...and it CAME with all of that stuff. the guy had no idea what he had..,.and i had a complete engine and transmission sitting around...ill have the car on the road for under a grand...

That demon is sick.

the demon is going to have an engine similar to my old white car, which is making around 500bhp.. except the demon will have a step smaller cam, and no roller top end.

we also got the stroker kit in for the white car...so within the next two years we are hoping to have an 11 second car the mirada), a 12 second car (the demon),a 13 second car (the laser), a 14 second truck (amandas truck), a 15 second car (the stratus), and a 16 second car (the bmw)...we probably have 17 and 18 covered too with my winter beaters...

but, that is all conceptual..who knows what might get sold..

who knows...the demon is about a thousand pounds lighter than the mirada...for those not into drag racing, a thousand pounds is about a second in the quarter mile...so if i can get the mirada into the high 11s (its in the low 12s now), in a car 1000lb lighter, it would be damn near the tens..but thats all conceptual...so for now i have a car in the low 12s..
