Default Re: Newbie pondering combos

There is/was a Mantador S/W out here on the west coast in Stock Eliminator a few
years back and there were a few magazine articles on this car. I think Bruce Fluper(sp?)
built the car.

If I remember correctly there were struggles with finding cams and convertors for the
motor combo he ran (401?)

But it was a fun car to watch run.

If you can do your own fabrication/welding then it is a bit cheaper to build your own car,
if you have to farm it out, then it's cheaper to buy a turn key car.

Or in my case, bought a "turn-key" car, but it had sat around unraced for so long, everything
is needing redo and upgrading....not complaining, just stating a fact.
