John’s Toyota Hilux
Bit of an unusual one for the Billadeau treatment! A 302ci Ford powered Toyota pick up, which needed a bit of work to get it up and running. It was fitted with a nitrous system, an exhaust was made and fitted, wiring work saw the battery relocated and a B&M shifter was installed.
Rick’s ’77 Pontiac Trans Am
Rick brought his Trans Am to us for a full restoration.
The car was stripped back to reveal the true extent of the work needed to restore the car to its former glory.
Matt’s ’69 Plymouth GTX
Another 440 rebuild from Billadeau Speed, with Scat rods, J.E. pistons, Comp Cams hydraulic cam, Crane rocker arms, ARP bolts and ported heads. A really strong 440, now mounted in the GTX’s repainted and fully rewired engine bay. Just check the before and after pics below!
Mike’s ’68 Dodge Charger
Mike’s 440 Charger received a full engine rebuild, incorporating mild cam forged pistons. Along with the usual high spec rebuild, the engine bay was rewired, the transmission was rebuilt and it was converted to new disc brakes.
Melvyn’s ’68 Plymouth GTX
Melvyn’s 4 speed GTX came to us for a engine rebuild and engine bay tidy up. The first set of photos show how the GTX arrived…
The 440 was built with INDY EZ heads, an 850 Holley, hydraulic cam, six pack rods, steel crank and SRP Pistons. The engine produced 510hp with 530 ft-lbs torque.
The engine bay was painted, the fuel system was upgraded, a new clutch & exhaust were fitted along with a six pack scoop and the wiring was also sorted.
Dave’s Chevrolet Nova
The 500ci big block Chevy was fitted into Dave’s Nova by Billadeau Speed, along with a full rewiring. It’s seen here getting some air under the front wheels at York Raceway.
In preparation for the 2008 season the Nova came back to us for paint.
Graham’s ’68 Plymouth Road Runner
Billadeau Speed supplied and fitted Super Stock rear springs to Graham’s Road Runner, along with a Sure Grip in the axle. The engine bay also received some attention with the wiring being tidied up.
Andy’s ’65 Dodge Coronet
Andy’s Coronet underwent a full wiring job from scratch.
Scott’s ’69 Plymouth Road Runner
Part of the Billadeau Mopar collection, Scott’s 720hp Road Runner had a Billadeau built 540 MP Mega Block with Lunati crank, Ross pistons, Crower roller cam, Manley rods, Indy CNC 440-1 heads and Dominator carb. As of April 2007 the car had run a best of 10.7@128mph.
Other work included bodywork, fitting the roll bar and wiring.
The Wedge motor was freshened up ready for the 2011 season with a new cam, rings, bearings and a bit of head and intake porting. It dyno’d at 781hp with 698ft-lbs of torque.
The car has since been returned to stock and found a new home.
