When its on the top of the qulifiying sheet it would be. If i did not have so many irons in the fire this would be a neat car to make fly.

I don't know Tom or Sean but I have seen the car around and think that this puppy could be faster than stink. AND it can fit 5 different classes with an intake change.

Claim 83 with FI and loose 45 HP! Same heads, pistons and cam.

There's an 81 injected Imperial for sale on ebay cheap, hard to find considering many were converted over to carbs. I would think the fuel injection would be an obstacle on this one.

My brother Carl shot that video of Danny Rockwell's Pinto from the tower at Connecticut Dragway. In 1981 not a lot of people had video equiptment , which at that time was a suitcase strapped around your shoulder connected to a large camera, so the track thought he was from a TV station or something and let him film from the tower.
