Here’s a brief example of one of our old restoration projects. After a full body restoration the car was painted Highland Green.
Chris’s ’64 Plymouth Belvedere
Hot rod artist Chris ‘Fat Frog’ Froggatt brought his Belvedere to us for the 383 motor to be rebuilt. Other work carried out included the painting and rewiring of the engine bay.
Steve’s ’70 Dodge Challenger 440
Billadeau Speed rewired this 440 Challenger, performed a general service, did some minor body work and completely overhauled the gearbox.
Steve’s DAX Cobra 289ci
This Cobra received a full rewire and an engine tune up thanks to Billadeau Speed & Automotive.
Nigel’s ’69 Plymouth Road Runner
We built the 440 engine in Nigel’s Road Runner, which features Indy SR Heads, an hydraulic cam and K.B. Pistons, as well as wiring the engine bay. The car ran a best of 12.1 seconds on the strip.
Bryan’s ’69 Chevrolet Camaro SS
Bryan brought his Camaro to us so we could install his engine. While this took place the engine bay was also tidied up.
Leon’s ’67 Aston Martin
Leon’s Aston Martin was given a full bare metal respray. The car was painted Birch Silver.
Jeff’s ’66 Dodge Coronet
For Jeff’s Coronet we built a 440 with Edelbrock Heads, an hydraulic cam and forged pistons. A nitrous oxide system and a six point roll bar were also installed. The car ran a best ET of 12.1 without nitrous and 10.9 with.
Engine Examples
This 440 Six Pack was built for a customers Dodge Charger and ran a best elapsed time of 12.75sec. We also converted it from automatic to manual transmission.
This 440 Six Pack produced 475hp on the dyno.
This 493 was fitted with 440-1 heads and a 0.625″ roller cam. It produced 650hp with 650ft-lbs of torque.
1959 Cadillac Convertible
This Cadlliac came to us due to the customer requiring a tow bar that wouldn’t detract from the appearance of the car. Billadeau Speed installed the concealed tow bar, as seen below, with the bracket for the tow ball installed behind the removable number plate. The car was also rewired.
