Dime Rocket Fantasy
What's yours?
Not sure if it would work? Don't quite know how to proceed? Give me a call. We'll kick it around. I've got a shop in a small town in northern Az. . Not much going on locally. 602-769-0346 myac455@gmail.com |

For someone who's not somewhat hands on , themselves, a dime could easily turn into a dime and a nickle. Probably have plenty of change left from a quarter anyway, though. I do most of this stuff myself, so that helps too. |
Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
I'll play:
1980 Buick Century 4Dr Sedan 231 V6 with a Dualjet Fits V/SA at 3250 lbs Metric 200, access to a cheap Chevette converter (Dacco B10) 7.5 rear with 4.56s, 26" slicks Stock 60k shortblock, heads (current running/driving car) 1 1/2" headers (Hedman street headers) Not sure where to start with cam/converter, thinking baseline to just get it down the strip and see what it'll do? Maybe a regrind? What I listed part-wise is what I actually have available right now. Maybe I could get it to the index then upgrade as funds allow, but if nothing else just get it making passes. That was a downfall of my past failures. Workable? Thoughts/ideas? |
Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
Have my mother's 1998 Mercury mystique v6 sitting here wondering what fwd class it would fit in. Car runs great. Or it is for sale if someone is interested on dime rocket car

Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
Here' s two easy peasy DF/S cars
First one is getting hard to find. 94 Cavalier, 3.1 60 degree, 145 hp Stick or automatic. 15.60 index 14's easy enough. I still see these around here: 99 or thereabouts Monte Carlo 3.1, aluminum head, 155 hp. Not a lot different than the 3.4 we had.. less cam lift, less compression, and 16 less cubes, but 500 lbs lighter in DF/S Yeah? Time to get off the couch yet? |
Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
Hey Father (elapsed) Time, I thought that FWD combos didn't qualify as "Dime Rockets"!

I changed my mind, after seeing 90 cents or more go into that Monte Carlo. Besides, I 've got plenty of D/R's that are RWD, but they're au..au..automatics, and that ain't me. RWD D/R stick shift cars are as rare as old Escorts. |
