Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

I seriously considered this combination (it's been in the guide for some time now) but I decided that as slow as I am at completeing projects, the thing would be in K by the time I got to the track.

That and I found out how difficult it is to find a really nice one for a decent price. They're more popular than I thought.

Billy you have any?

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

Not one but there's some really nice ones on e-bay!

.430 lift for FWD and Stock Truck. This is true! Still. Jim

I think you can run truck motors in the Gt truck classes. Gt/ta/tb/tc/td

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

If you will do a little research, that 165 HP is actually a HO 305, just like the '85 -86 Camaros. Still a very good combo, rated 263 HP in a Camaro'

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

Considering that the 4.3 V6 in the 86 truck is rated at 192 HP (R/SA) I think the 350 is a winner!
Also the cam lift is . 430 or OEM whichever is greater (Jeep is .439)

Randall Campbell called me Saturday and we have one in the process,going to start with low budget version.There is a truck about a half mile from me that had already been catching my eye for 4.3 4 speed in T/Stock but 350 4 speed in U would be even better. But right now I don't even have truck to get malibu to track have to borrow my Dad's which works out since he's not racing right now,so another race car would not make much sense.

Its a flat top 305 --- heck yeah at 165 hp! Will IHRA accept this factor also? I am looking for a vehicle to drive in and run, was thinking 87 cutlass but this is much cheaper.

I think IHRA have to run truck class
