Re: Who all races with a V6?
Yup, We went 12.83 at Cecil County this year.
And Doolittle has a bad piece!

Re: Who all races with a V6?
HA, HA, HA...ok Lee you got me, but you did make me laugh. Of course I'll root for you and every one else's faster V6's! You remember Buddy Ingersol's twin turboed & intercooled V6 Regal that was so quick, the 500c.i. V8 Pro Stockers couldn't keep up with him :O !!! Oh how I dreamt of a Buick GNX that out of the factory couldn't be beaten in a drag race by a Porche Turbo Carrera (back in 1987)!!! Oh how I wish I would've had the pleasure of racing the baddest V6 American production Car against the baddest Porsche (period) of that year, and matching it stat for stat!!!
For that matter there's a '68, or '69 Ford Mustang that runs in Super Stock with a 6cyl engine, and at Bandimere Speedway I believe it was running somewhere between the high 11's, and the low 12's. I must say though, the 13sec & slower Stockers are the Arizona Cardinals of Stock Eliminator drag racing...GO CARDINALS!!!

Re: Who all races with a V6?
Man Gary I love your enthusiasm. You may just convince me to run my 289ci/2bbl in my boat.

Re: Who all races with a V6?
I ran V/S 80 malibu 89-91 229 chevy 3 spd. stick had a blast, had to sell car in 91 kept engine(nobody wanted that) got car back year or so go.
Going bring back out in near future hopefully this summer V6 tip buy V8 parts that will interchange like lifters, springs,rod bolts,rockers,pistons,rings etc. every third set end up with a fourth set,some things are cheaper that way. Mike Taylor 3601 |

Re: Who all races with a V6?
Good tip. I almost went that way, V6 in a wagon or 4dr. Who did you get headers from for a 229?

Re: Who all races with a V6?
If that 2bbl is a Holley 500cfm'er, hold on to your hat (and keep that life preserver good and tight), because I believe they were as competitive against 4bbl's as a 340 Mopar, or a 351 Cleveland Ford were/are against some big blocks!!!

Re: Who all races with a V6?
A 200? The baby to the 229? VERY impressive! I started drag racing in a G-body. I grabbed a Mopar (slant six Aspen coupe), but as I go along here I'm thinking I should grab a V6 Malibu just in case...there's a granny-fresh one with a 229 and a bad trans in the wrecking yard right now!
