Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
I went 12.90's in Q/S with my 65 valiant 273 bbl 4 speed at 100mph. Not a killer but it will run with the good motor out of my U car i could probably go 12.70 today. The other combos out there are much better, cheaper and last but not least simpler to build.

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
But that sure looks like fun! And you can't put a price on a good time! None of these combos are "killers" but can they be built for a reasonable price and will they go under the indexes? OBTW, 12.70s in Q is nothing to sneeze at!

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
I have a 66 Impala that will not cooperate with my budget, 283 2 barrel @ 170 is beginning yo look real good!!!!! Only seen one guy run one and it was not real stellar. Is this a bad combo for U/SA Billy or Mark? I'm talking CHEAP!!!!

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
2V 283 in U will run the index but really small carb will hurt. Don't get carried away with cam.

It however did do the index in Q for the 1/8 mile .Did not get to test the 1/4. Plus all i did was intake and carb (only change from my 4 bbl combo). I am sure a gear and converter change would have helped..
