what combo is better ?
 

I have a 1966 Bel Air Wagon- What do some you think would be a better combo.

r-t /sa with a 283 or

n-o /sa with a 327.

My vote for the 283 ...remember you have that small cfm 4GC carb that has to feed only 283 cubes vs 327 inches that mite be crying for more carb that is required to use the same one as the 283

Re: what combo is better ?
 

MY vote: 283 because R/Tsa are less crowded and less competive to get started in (at least Div.7). N and O are very tough class out here.....we have National Record Holder in N and always seem to get beat badly in class by Late Camaro/Firebirds and 400 Pontiacs. The 327 if 250 HP would weigh 3920 in O which is pretty heavy. Also if you have a glide combo only it is tough against 3 speeds......Just my .02 after all I'm a Mopar Boy.

1966 327 Bel- Air wagons are 270hp and use holley , carter avs or quadajet carb. Tom

327 275@270! though the 396/325 combo looks Ok...K add weight to L (no brainer stay in K)

I'd go with the 283-easy to work on and drive and a good consistent combo to get used to 'cept for hot humid air.

How much weight are you lugging around at T weight.You need a construction trailer to get it to the track.:>)

Holy Cow Bobby -- Do you need a CDL to tow that baby around ? And i'll vote for the 283 -- except in August ................

Be a man and run it with a stick......lol. All kidding aside there is less competition in a stick class. With todays upgraded parts I doubt you will break it very often. Cal Method from Washington state ran a stick 283 Wagon years ago before Jerico trans, etc. and was a killer in his class.
