hear is a tip, Mark and Billy can lead you to some very good picks, Both are very good at it. Go back and look up the Dime Rocket thread, good place to start. Buy if you can, much cheaper.

If you really mean that it should be fun and having fun is your main goal then do the 194. Jim Watson from Tennessee or Kentucky runs real well with a 194. A 2V 283 will index and keep from having to cut up the car too. If you want to set the world on fire and make a name for yourself then get a big block Camaro or a late model injected car. Make it a red one.

Hey Billy - I figured this thread would draw you out of the woodwork!

If you 're in love with the car, you should make it a 64 and put a 283 in it for J,K,L.
There are plenty of guys on here that can help you with that one..
You're not going to slap together a cheap 283 and be competitive in those classes though...
You still haven't defined "cheap" from your perspective...
This is the way to go if your going to use this car.

What are your parameters? 4 cyl? inline 6 ?, V6 ? V8?....... V10?


Some people will race a 16 second car if they think they can win with it...while some others have to have a 10 second car, whether they go rounds with it or not..
Mark.......1986 was a good year for you was there on monday for the final.

Didn't quite have the luxury of a 16 second car, but it all worked out...
Thanks

How about faster cars? B,C,D,E......other than the Drag Paks and Mustangs. The LS1 Corvette/GTO is a steal at 340.
