B/G 61 - 2009-08-27 2:52 PM No, but when you have to have a second job to cover you mag subs each month you get the issues before they hit the news-stands . . . How funny will it be in a few years when people LAUGH at the idea of magazines being printed instead of just gettin them "on-line" !?!? How funny will it be tryin to explain to people about "news-stands" !?!?!? My brother-in-law just told me yesterday he was driving his daughter and her friend home in his beater Honda and the kids were complaining of the heat - he told his daughters girl friend to roll down the window . . . She didn't do anything because she couldn't find the "button" . . . He actually had to show her how to "roll" down the window using a crank ! ! ! ! ! !

Guess I'll have to start carrying my laptop into the john!

Location: Bama		I just typed Last Lee Petty Race or Crash(can't remember) in the address bar. That crash had to have hurt. I count 4 lanes almost straight up, that's got to be close to 40' off the ground.

My Y and I were admiring the roll cage and bench seats. Probably just a lap belt too. That's real racing!!

BTW, referring back to "40 Years of Stock Car Racing" (Vol II), the newspaper article in Re: this lead-in 100 mile qualifying
race at Daytona (this guy did NOT occur during the 500 mile Grand National race, 2 days later) : " Lee Petty and Johnny
Beauchamp, principals in the inaugural Daytona 500 finish in 1959, were involved in a bone-snapping horrifying crash in the
last lap[!!!]. Petty's Plymouth and Beauchamp's Chubster locked bumpers in the third turn and both machines [being generous
to the Generic Motors-mobile] hurtled the guard rail while traveling 150 MPH. ...".

You got lotsa free time, in the NAV; go get/read "Tangled Web" and the couple-other books on the Dodge Brothers.

All the family members were waiting for Matilda Dodge (John's widow---IIRC) to die, but she out-lived her offspring.

We-all don't KNOW from what real unimaginable wealth is/was, compared to the actual income which was 'earned' by the industrial magnates, around the turn of THE century.

BTW, my dear sainted pappy used to say that the BEST/nicest female-types were to be found in the Deep-South
--any RACY experience, FWDLK-related, in that regard, so far?

How is the chassis attached to the body, on those Muscle Machines?--rivets?

/6 powered what? 60... years ago is a separate thought...

5000500050002000200010025
Location: bishop, ca		I forget where the prompting-post was placed, on this website, but, this thread's commentary is as good as any....

The question/comment concerned the highest form of performance that was OEM bolt-on, in 1960-61, and I said
that I had a magazine issue which discussed that concept.

Well, I found it: (GOOD-old-) Motor Life (the most under-rated enthusiast magazine of the late 50's) 7/60 issue---which
features the Watson custom-painted cars, as were discussed in a way-earlier Members Rides thread.

The subject issue has a GREAT article: "Question: which is the HOTTEST 1960 car?" --Poncho had a 14.55/94.53; Fart had
14.81/94.71 ; Plymmie got 15.00/95.64 Dart got 15.19/86.03 and Chubbie got 15.36/92.78

The Dart suffered from the lack of a solid-lift cam/lifters that the Plymouth had available & installed on it, plus other information...

There also is a WONDERFUL primer-article on general camshaft grinding/timing issues--all of the theory involved, for
the beginner, with simple illustrations regarding what/how a camshaft operates.

But I digress...

The article that I was seeking is :"How to select [1960] Chrysler and DeSoto [performance-] options".

They like the 300F engine, and say that:"As pointed out earlier, there is no one to stop you if you want to make a 300F out
of a '59 Chrysler or DeSoto or even any 1960 model, but the factory will not do it for you....unless you buy a 300F."

As far as the 1960 DeSoto is concerned (and this harkens back to a performance comment I made, on an Engine-Board thread,
recently, about sticking a 'worked' Poly head onto a Hemi engine block, which has taller pistons than the Poly-block has):

" The DeSoto uses a stroke length of 3.38 inches in both the 361 and 383 engines while the Chrysler has a stroke length of 3.75 inches
throughout which means that there are four different bore sizes [between the two car models]. DeSoto has the BIGGEST bore
size at a hulking 4.25 inches to make its 383 cubic inches while Chrysler has the smallest at 4.03 inches to make up its version
of the 383 cubic inch engine.

One might at first figure that there was a quick way to extra horses for the DeSoto merely by swapping [the longer-length Chrysler]
crankshaft and connecting rods [while keeping the DeSoto's big pistons].

There is another interesting idea that comes to mind, too (here comes my thought/idea, above) : All the engines except the 300F have
a 10.0:1 compression ratio (what is it: 10.5 :1 ?) across the board. Since the smaller DeSoto engine has the same ratio of combustion
chamber volume to cylinder volume as the largest in the line, it follows that the chamber volume of the 361-inch engine is less than that
of the 383,

Used on the 383 block it could boost the compression ratio a full point.

The major difference would be the smaller intake valve used in the 361 engine but judicious use of a 70-degree piloted reamer and
eight of the large [Chrysler/383] valves would take care of that particular problem...... "

This article has a lot of other neat concepts/ideas, and discusses various camshafts, carburetion, intakes and rear end ratios
to the creating of :"...your own Q ship."

And, also, this issue shows/discusses the installation of FM converters to our cars--and shows a fairly-slick looking Motorola unit, too.

Find/buy/read this issue of Motor Life !


...and, as this article was written in 1960, it probably pertains to the 1961 DeSoto models, too (if they had
a 383 c.i. engine installed in them).

That is weird that in 1959 Chrysler made a 383 but the bore and stroke were 4.031 by 3.75, not like the "B" block
bore and stroke used by Dodge and Desoto.... and yes the 361 had the smaller 1.94 and 1.6 valves.... compared to the 383's 2.08 and 1.6 or later exhaust valve of 1.74 So to get the most out of a set of heads you would want a set of 2.08 - 1.74 's not counting the 426's max wedge heads. The 383 was only available in the 60 Adventurer, 61 had just a weak slimmed down 265 HP 361. Seems like Chrysler knew they were dropping the axe on Desoto years earlier. Pretty sad for them....

Sounds like a good article with them talking about cams, carbs and rear ends.... thats my kind of talk.

Location: bishop, ca		So, a 361 DeSoto would need a bore-job to get to the 4.25", before all the other 1960 Chrysler internals could be installed
into it, as per this article's info.

At least, the owner would already have the 361 heads, to play with!!!

And, a motivated '61 DeSoto owner could probably do the same things, to make a monster-sleeper
out of his car's OEM 361 motor.

Location: STL, MO		The 3.75 crank in a 383 would make a lowdeck 426, It would be interesting to build 3 383's a b-rb-common chevy 400 crank in a 350 block, build them as equally as possible and dyno them, is that the same blown 300 as 57 burb posted?

Location: bishop, ca		Mikey, that absolutely IS the best camera-angle for the 61 Dart series cars; no question.

Notice anything, on its ass-end?

And, since we both happen to love them, so much: try to imagine MY first new-car
viewing, ever, of a 61 Phoenix 2-dr HT, as it approached and drove by me, slowly,
as I was walking home from grade school, for lunch, on fine fall day.....when I
was the impressionable age of 10.

It was like looking at a freshly-landed UFO.

Location: Parts Unknown		IF the emblem is there, it is hidden in the rounding-out-of-sight curve beyond the back up light.

Got one of those cars close at hand, and the body panel there curves forward to then jut back out to form
that area where the tail light is at the corner. The tail light is not square, but quite "V" shaped to fit this contour.

I'm betting on 'the emblem'.
