the motor going into the demon, for now, is a fairly stock 340 build. stock heads (188/160) with a very mild port match to an LD340 intake. 509 cam, hooker headers, BG 750. mopar electronic ignition for now, clutch fan, stock water pump. 2500 stall 727 built by bob george racing, with a manual valve body. our goal was to get the car on the street, spending as little as possible. its a low compression engine, similar to that in the mirada, but the mirada has a slightly better intake, bigger cam, better carb, better port on the heads. the engine, like the mirada, is low compression..around 9 to 1. the mirada ran 12.40s with a track weight of 3700lbs, on 87 octane with a 4.56 gear and 3500 stall...
the demon is a cruiser, and i want to see what someone can get a car onto the road for, including the paint. NOT including the paint, i have less in the demon than i have in the laser...
im sure that the demon will get a few passes down the quarter mile once its done, to see what it runs, but its not going to see the huge amount of track time that the mirada has (around 1200 runs in 13 years)... i do, however, want it to be at least in the 12s, and once we have it on the street, after time, it may get the drivetrain from the mirada, or possibly some new heads//
for now, it is just a cruiser, and time will tell what will come of it in the future...[8D]
