‘Flag Jumper’ joins the Super Stock scene with a Craig Ainge & Billadeau period sign writing job. A 360ci motor has been purchased ready for a future upgrade.

Dave Billadeau’s ’66 Dodge Coronet
Another addition to the Billadeau stable, bought for racing while working on other projects. The ex-Gerry the Gerbil Coronet received a fresh 440, which made 485hp on the dyno, and was given another top sign writing job by Craig Ainge. Ol’ Scatter Bolts was running consistent 11.7s on the strip.
Richard’s ’70 Plymouth Road Runner
A real Air Grabber car, originally bought by Dave as a long term background project. The Road Runner didn’t really get the time it needed though and Richard, who had just sold his ’69 Road Runner, was up for the challenge.
Well here’s the result! An absolute stunner, thanks to the hard work of Richard Ward, Ashley Rawson and Richard Granger. Billadeau Speed built the 500ci Six Pack engine for the car, with Indy EZ heads and a mechanical cam. The motor made 580hp with 600 ft-lbs of torque!
Kiwi’s Plymouth Duster
Kiwi’s Duster came in for a full paint job and sign writing as a replica of the car Arlen Vanke raced in 1971. We also had the decals made.
Howard’s ’68 Dodge Coronet R/T
Howard bought a kit form 493ci engine for his Coronet and came to Billadeau Speed to complete the build. It featured a mild mechanical cam and B1/BS heads. This produced 550hp on the dyno, with 600ft-lbs of torque.
The engine bay was sandblasted, painted and rewired. Other jobs included installing the centre console, fitting a fibre glass hood and upgrading the fuel system. The propshaft was also upgraded to 1350 UJs.
Howard’s photos below show the results.
Andy’s ’66 Dodge Coronet 440
Bozzy steps up, replacing the old Dart with a 1966 Coronet, which he brought over to us before hitting the strip. New front suspension parts, brakes and push rods were fitted, along with the hood scoop and general MOT work.
Andy returned with the car prior to the 2009 season and it was given a full classic Super Stock paint job, becoming the ‘Spirit of Sixty Six’.
