Dime Rocket- DNQ
 

Okay..What's this misleading title really about?

Well, a few years back, when Billy started the Dime Rocket threads, we decided that turbo cars and FWD's weren't eligible, seeing that it was too easy to make them run under the index.

I do agree with that premise..but what Billy didn't tell you is that it takes about 40 years of doing this for it to be easy.

Anyway , this project is a DF/S car , and it did run 1.05 under the NHRA index on the second pass the other night...
A friend (who some of you might know) and I started on it in January.

Easy does it ...and I'll be glad to answer any inquiries about it if anyone cares to hear it.

I did take a few pictures along the way, but did not document every nut and bolt,..but I think I remember them...

Mark, how 'bout some basic info - Monte Carlo? Engine? year?

Re: Dime Rocket- DNQ
 

Okay..It's a 2003 3.4 60 degree Chevy V6 LA1 option (207 ci)
Not a totally original idea, but first in this body style and weight, I believe.
Before I forget..Blueprinted NHRA spec heads by Kadar Performance ..

So is it time to open the "Dime Rocket" deal to ANY combo? I'm OK with that. I'm OK with anything that gets people out to the races!
We could have a 3.4 Monte Carlo vs. Turbo Sunbird C/FS Matchrace! Loser buys the hotdogs.
I'm not quite sure that Tibors prices fall into the "Dime Rocket" range though. Maybe this thing is a "ringer"?

Ha. This thing is going in DF/S and staying there, once we get the weight installed where it belongs. (except maybe the IHRA 16.30 class ;-) ).
We have a family connection at Kadar Performance, so I don't know the pricing, but actually these heads needed to be straightened out anyway. Someone did a "valve job" on them last year,and carved them up pretty bad..Had to throw the valves away.
These heads are literally laying on the ground at the U pull it yards.
A little 3 angle , mill for cc's, and pop some new Comp beehive springs on them, and I don't believe they'd be too bad.
