U/S or U/SA
 
Is this class something worth looking into?

Re: U/S or U/SA
 
Depends on what your looking for. If your building a stick v-8 plan on spending just as much as an A car for the rear end, transmission and clutch if you want it to live and have fun. Trust me I ate parts with a 273 before putting good quality parts in it. He automatic will be a lot more cost friendly.

I thought about a 232 in my rambler BUT there's no scattershield available for the early block...wonder if they'd let me use a later block....?

I think the stick would be more fun, but the bellhousing area just may be too expensive in time and money. How many cars are running in U/S or U/SA at most events now?

Tom,
Browell could make one. All they would need is an old bellhousing. Also you would need to call them as their website does not list everything that they offer.

With a six cylinder you're not required to have a scattershield.

Gary Summers goes 1.094 under at Gainesville!

Robert Simpson 03-14-2014 11:28 AM

Re: U/S or U/SA
 
I watched his runs, on the 1.09 run he got WAY out of it. Like 75mph out of it. During class he had Ron covered so as soon as he got in front he just rolled out of the gas and just stayed in front. I feel confident that he could have been number one qualifier no matter what!. Crazy fast car. But why the auto?

75 Mustang Gt on Phoenix Craigslist with 302 for $3200. Also a 78 King Cobra w/351 for 4K. As they say....Jump in the waters fine!

Re: U/S or U/SA
 
The Ford 302 is a hot ticket right now...not seeing or hearing about as many as I thought...

Chuck, There's something to be said about getting a clean tree all the time..

Re: U/S or U/SA
 
I'm with you on that one, Mark.

There are at least 2 front drivers that you will have to spot
