Vic’s ’65 Plymouth Belvedere
Vic has been a valued loyal customer of Billadeau Speed for many years who never misses an opportunity to bracket race his consistent Belvedere. At the end of the 2017 season he returned after destroying a half shaft and we sorted the transmission too.
Dave Billadeau’s ’67 Plymouth Belvedere Wagon
Yet another new Billadeau toy. This freshly imported station wagon became the home to a pro-charged 452ci big block. Based on a 400ci block and fitted with Edelbrock heads, coupled to a 727 transmission and Dana 60 axle, the motor produced 703hp with 720ft-lbs of torque. Wheels up launches are no problem for this heavyweight!
A 451 short motor was fitted to see out the 2016 season after a breakage, then it was all change again for 2017. Things stepped up to a 499, built from a 400 block with a stroker crank, Indy heads and a Dominator carb. 705bhp took the car into the 10.4s at 130mph with championship winning consistency!
Dave’s 440
Dave’s ’70 Road Runner engine needed a rebuild, he came to us and the result produced 397hp with 500ft-lbs of torque.
Mark’s ’67 Plymouth Belvedere
Mark’s 4 door Belvedere came to us for general wiring faults and a service.
Mojo’s ’65 Plymouth Satellite
Mojo’s Satellite, which features sign writing and gold leaf by Craig Ainge, came to us for wiring faults and a freshening up of it’s 440 motor.
Carl’s ’65 Plymouth Belvedere
Big Carl’s Belvedere has visted Billadeau Speed for various small jobs over the years. The fantastic sign writing by Craig Ainge was completed in 2014.
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!
Dave Billadeau’s Plymouth Superbird
Time for another Billadeau project car – a Superbird clone. Early work included a Dana 60 being built, painting the engine bay, fitting a roll cage and getting the front suspension built and powder coated…
The Superbird came together and the HEMI took residence. Making 857HP it was good enough for strong 9 second quarter miles at over 140mph! After a couple seasons in American Super Stock, the car eventually moved on to a new owner.
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.
