1965 Cross Ram 426 Race Hemi
1965 cross ram race hemi, as installed in a 1965 Dodge Coronet A990 super stock. The race hemi was all cast iron in 1964, as the cars were built with lightweight body panels. NHRA stipulated that for 1965, all superstocks had to have steel body panels, so Chrysler redesigned the 426 race hemi with aluminum heads and water pump as compared to 1964, to lighten up the cars, along with lighter steel acid dipped body panels. I believe the 1965 Race Hemi's were the only hemis equipped with factory aluminum heads. What a beast !!!!

1965 Dodge Coronet W051 Super Stock
An original 1965 Dodge Coronet Super Stock. Dodge produced 101 examples, as did Plymouth, for a total of 202 super stocks for 1965. This car was ordered, purchased in the Cleveland, Ohio area by Harm Friend. He campaigned this car for 5 years at numerous local tracks, one year competing in the nationals, losing in 6th round by red lighting. Harm set a national AHRA record with this car in 1969. He ran mid to high ‘11’s in the upper 120’s . He initially named this car “Man from Mopar”. He then renamed it “ N Harm’s Way” , based off of the John Wayne movie. He sold the car in 1969 with 84 original miles. Now, the car has 116 original miles.
All Dodges carried the serial number beginning with W051****. The corresponding Plymouth's had serial number R051*****. The super stock option was listed as A990, so the Dodge cars are referred to either as W051's, or A990's. In 1964, the Dodge / Plymouth Super Stocks were built with a cast iron block / head 426 cross ram hemi, and with fiberglass and aluminum body panels to lighten the cars. As Ford was also producing cars with lightweight parts, NHRA decided to make a new rule stipulating that for 1965, all super stocks had to be built with "stock" steel body panels. So Chrysler redesigned the Super Stocks for 1965, by substituting aluminum heads and water pumps on the 426 Race Hemi's, and lightening up the steel body panels by acid dipping the fenders, doors, hood, to reduce the car weight back to that of the 1964's, class minimum weight of about 3400 lbs. Truly a work of art !!!!

SVC cobra clutch bellcrank type arm
This arm is on my Shell Valley Cobra that comes out of the back of the firewall inboard of the brake master cylinder which is bolted to the firewall. So the left to right position of the pedals is actually reversed on the firewall due to some strange linkage inside the pedal box. Try8ng to find out if this is part of the reason why my clutch is essentially undrivable, and whether this is a standard Shell Valley thing or some kind of complex setup somebody did to avoid the headers.

Clutch MC and brake MC in reverse positions
This shows the clutch MC next to the steering shaft with the brake MC mounted behind it to the fender well, with the clutch MC activated by this odd bellcrank type arm that may be messing up the pedal ratio. Trying to sort out why my clutch is both super heavy pedal pressure AND has to go all the way to the floor to disengage. Anyone know if this is a standard shell valley setup? The other end is a hydraulic throw out bearing, looks like a Tilton.
