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.
The ‘Grim Beeper’ paid a visit to Billadeau Speed for work on the front end suspension and steering, in preparation for the 2007 Mopar Nats.
Richard brought his Fury to us to install the Max Wedge intake and exhaust manifolds, along with work on the exhaust system. We also got the car up and running again by completing some unfinished work on the fuel system.
After the ETs of the Camaro came tumbling down it became clear that Dan needed to install a roll cage to meet drag racing rules & regulations. He brought the Camaro to us, where a CDS six point roll bar legal up to 10.90sec was installed. The car was running in the 11.50s at the time.
Bri’s Charger was fitted with a new 440 motor featuring ported Edelbrock heads, forged pistons and a big hydraulic cam. The engine is producing in the range of 525 to 550hp. Super stock springs were also fitted. Click on the images below for a closer look.
A freshly built 0.030 over-bored 383ci block was installed in Chris’s Coronet. The engine featured Keith Black pistons, a 484 cam and 906 heads, among many other mods, resulting in 400bhp and 13.3 second ETs on the strip. The car was also featured in the March ’07 issue of American Car World.
The original 340ci block of Craig’s Dart was rebuilt and fitted with a Herbert cam with 480-degree lift, new valves and Manley pushrods. The car was featured in the March 2007 issue of American Car World.
The 340 was eventually replaced with a 408ci small block with a 550 lift cam and iron heads. The first run at York Raceway’s Easter ’07 RWYB resulted in a 12.9 second ET.
Colin’s Road Runner is powered by a Billadeau 440 engine and was a regular competitor in American Super Stock.
Dan, a.k.a. Tomby, brought his Duster to us for engine work. The 360 engine was fully rebuilt with forged pistons, ported heads, a hydraulic cam along with a 3″ exhaust, making the car good for 13.3 second ETs. The engine bay was painted and the graphics were also created and applied.
Mick’s Coronet underwent a full restoration at Billadeau Speed. The 440 engine, built to stock appearance, features forged pistons and a hydraulic cam. The body was fully restored and painted in original TT1 Light Metallic Green, with a bumble bee stripe also made up and applied.
Further work in July ’07 included changing the gears from 323 to 391, which saw ETs drop from 14.1s to 13.6s, and also MOT work on the front brakes and bottom ball joints.
At the 2012 August bank holiday weekend round of American Super Stock, Mick had a slight skirmish with another car. Billadeau Speed was able to help Mick begin the road to repair before the car was taken to Ash Rawson’s bodyshop for a new side to be fitted.
