planning a new stocker
Fellow class racers;
Monte Pannell and I are in the planning stage of building another stocker. We have nothing and are beginning with a clean slate. The one requirement is carburated. That is our experience and we want to go with our strengths. In addition, to be practical, it will most likely be a GM body with SBC or BBC power. [again, that is our area of experience] We would enjoy hearing your feedback in ref to good packages to build. NOTE: we are experienced craftsmen and receive much of our pleasure from the building. In a perfect world, we could find a nice, clean, "core" body as the beginning.

Re: planning a new stocker
Larry, Nice to hear about your new Stocker project.
Second Gen Camaro SBC. 70 & 71. The 71 270 OEM HP is NHRA rated at 274. Dished piston motor, 487 head. Natural H car. 70 350 2 barrel natural N car NHRA rated 224 HP ( very soft rating), uses 441 head. Uses the big 2 barrel, 1.375 Venturi Much easier to run 1.0 + under with this combo. ( If you want to go for #1 Qualifer). Good luck with what ever you build Steve Teeter STK # 620 |

Re: planning a new stocker
85-86 Monte Carlo SS. 305 HO (flat top, big cam) factored at 248 for a natural K/SA car, or 249 with a stick. Seems decent to me considering there is so much readily available For the chassis, and the engine combo.

Re: planning a new stocker
Well Larry, if that's the case then why don't you try something different?

Re: planning a new stocker
Without checking the Class Guide but while still following your wants list. Early C10 truck, wagon or an El Camino would be different. Any 4 door GM cars that had a cop/ pursuit motor in them from the factory you could make into a screamer? I am all for different, but with parts support too.

Re: planning a new stocker
an El Camino is a good idea and would be a cool buildup.
