68 Camaro 6cyl. stocker need help!

anthony.walton · 01-05-2011, 03:14 PM

Trying to decide which way to go with this 6cyl. to run IHRA/NHRA stock class. Motor is a 250 and is original. Should I change crank and rods and run it as a 230? What type of pistons should I use? Header? Converter? Gear? Help me out with any advice you might have, I like to listen. Thanks in advance.

Not trying to bust up the 6cyl combo because im sure it will run great but why not build a IHRA crate motor? Probably spend half the money and go just as far under the index and faster ET's. Even with a straight 6 your going to have to build a good rear/trans/converter.

Please everyone...im not bashing a 6cyl combo so dont send me PM's about how the Straight Six Mafia is coming for me

Dave T you stay out of this!!! HAHAHAHA

Perhaps he wants to run NHRA as well. Or perhaps he doesn't want to put a roll bar in the car? Just a couple reasons I can think of off the top of my head.

Nothing against crate motor cars, building one ourselves, slowly...

Don't send the C/m mafia lol

Thought about the Crate motor to start with. Would like to be able to run NHRA/IHRA both if I can. Got the 6 cyl. and like the idea of being chased with the slower e.t., gives me a chance to strengthen my finish line skills. Anybody got any combinations or parts for sale that would help me with this build? I know the trans./ converter and rear are going to be expensive, but thats fine. Not trying to set world records with the 6 cyl. just want to get some seat time at the Divisonal / National events.
Thanks

Definitely run the 230. It'll make V/SA which is a 6 cyl class, which would be a good place to hide from heads up runs.
Not a great combo though. It can be made to run under the index without a great deal of expense.
There's one "weird " guy here that can help you a lot. He'll show up soon!
