Probably something really slow. That turbo PT Cruiser blasted the index a year or so ago. I think it went something like -1.8 under the index. It must have gotten a bunch of HP since I haven't heard of it since.

Its a lot cheaper to buy then build a competitive stocker

5.0 Mustang 87 to 89 with automatic. Real fast for the money.

Very true

Need more info... Speed costs money

What are your parameters? 4 cyl? inline 6 ?, V6 ? V8?....... V10?


Some people will race a 16 second car if they think they can win with it...while some others have to have a 10 second car, whether they go rounds with it or not..

i have a 1962 nova wagon that im thinking of using. i may do the 194 inline six, it will be slow but in turn should be fun.

Probably one of the worst cars for V/SA...2 speed, small cam ,small carb.
If you 're in love with the car, you should make it a 64 and put a 283 in it for J,K,L.
There are plenty of guys on here that can help you with that one..
You're not going to slap together a cheap 283 and be competitive in those classes though...
You still haven't defined "cheap" from your perspective...
