Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
Since our bench racing season appears to be extended indefinitely - I think we need to bump this thread to the top and have some fun!

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
I just figured that you, Mark, or Dwight had a few ideas saved for a rainy day. If nothing else, I thought this thread would make for good reading/inspiration for those who haven't seen it yet.
Most of the combos in this thread are still untouched. The '82 Mustang/Capri is still at 157hp (less than some of the other 302 2-bbls that have been hit). The '79 Mustang/Capri is still at 143hp. If you're a GM fan, all of those 305 2bbls are still at 180hp, and I've seen a few run well. There are dozens of different ways you could build one - I think they would all be fun! My two favorites are still the '85 Lincoln and the '96-'98 Mustang V6 (I know Will Lamprecht is working on one!). Last edited by Nick Heath; 03-18-2020 at 11:42 PM. |

I talked to Lee Tuttle in the staging lanes at the Baby Gators. I was very impressed with his 305 2bbl Camaro. A second under in R/SA!

My favorite 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC 4.6L 290 H.P. 3775 pds. Everything from the mustangs fits this model just add a gear M/SA plus it look good.
