BIG Ford Combos?

Well, the 74 Torino 4 door would work too, although it could be tough to sell down the road, (not saying the 2 door would be a hot commodity either). I can`t imagine that traction with the Ranchero would be a big problem. But just picking a combo for Stock Eliminator based on what old Fords just happen to be laying around the neighbourhood doesn`t seem like the best plan.IF I was to consider a Ford V8 with a 2 barrel, I would only consider a small light car, like a Maverick/Comet, or Fairmont/Fox Mustang body. Actually, since NHRA dropped a bunch of HP from the small V8 2 barrels, a 82 Mustang GT 5.0 2V looks decent. However, Stick only if that bothers you.
