1970 Dodge Superbee -Emailed By Tylar Gilman 

1970 Dodge Superbee

My name is Tylar Gilman and I am from Scottsbluff, Nebraska.  I acquired this car when I was 15 years old because my father had one when he went to college.  My family has owned a Dodge dealership since 1931 so parts connections and collections we of great help.  We had so much new old stock for it that I used almost every bit of it, including a Weiand Super Stock Tunnel Ram 6-pak manifold.  It took me 2 1/2 years to restore it to the condition it is in now.  I have put a fuel cell in it this summer as well as a 4 Bbl carburetor to see if the car can run a little more consistant.  The block is out of a 73 newyorker bored .030" with Keith Black Hyperutectic Silvolite Blower type pistons to yield a compression ratio of 11:1.  The heads are a set of "915" castings off of the shelf new with 1.88 exhaust valves and 2.08 intake valves.  The heads were cleaned up and pocket ported and gasket matched.  It has a steel crank in it with polished factory 440-4Bbl rods fully balanced, MP oil pump, and a deep sump(9 quart) oil pan with hemi pick up tube.  I have Hooker headers to dispose of the exhaust and a straight 3" exhaust all the way out the back.  The tranny is a fully race built unit with the following: deep aluminum pan, full manual valve body, Hibster 4200 stall converter, polished and lightened drums with 1/4" holes in the sides for excess relief and cooling of the clutches, kevlar bands and Raybestos red race clutches.  I use the factory driveshaft hooked to an 8 3/4 with 4.56:1 gears and a posi.  Inside is a completely all black stock interior, hurst shifter, full autometer instrumentation, and of all things a factory radio that lights up and everything else but has no speakers hooked to it.  To me the sound of the car is all the music I need.  The car has run a best of 12.64 at 106 mph at Douglas International Raceway in Douglas Wyoming.  I have never won a carshow but have won 1 class championship and 6 other miscelaneous 2nd and 3rd place finishes.  College put a small damper on racing for the past 2 years so it doesn't see the track much more than 4 or 5 times a season.
