Re: Stocker engine Input please
 

WOW, and I have an extra one of those in my garage, headwork has already been done, Hedman headers are already on
(SAVES ME FROM HAVING TO START LOOKING AROUND FOR A SET OF BIG BLOCK HEADERS hint, hint), just have to yank it outa my Astro. I even have a spare one that we can start some machine work on as well , course it'll need a sleeve in #4 where that valve got swallowed.

You know somewhere around here I have an 'old' AHRA license, and I think an old NFL football, why I bet with that letter you have & the stuff I have we could get it through tech in no time. Probably as easily as that Mustang you been driving,,,,, what ya think?

Got Deb's El Camino wired yet?

BTW, gonna need some shiny round things to put Hoosiers on, any idea where a fella might get some? and oh yea, the front ones need to be REALLY light, we're trying to offset some recently added weight,,,,,,,

Unk,

Put the real 4.3 V-6 the one with the 800 cfm Q-Jet not that EFI stuff.

Re: Stocker engine Input please
 

Unk,

If you put the Quadrajet/4.3L combo in you have to paint the engine green for it to run properly...or so I've been told....:)

and to answer your other questions...
Cool - me too!, gosh I hope so, no - not yet, and 800.788.WELD...lol

GREEN!? YUK!

That's bad luck in a pit area (just ask that Yorba Linda guy,,,,)

Guess I'll have to pass,,,,

Re: Stocker engine Input please
 

OK, got 'nother question, WHICH hood would be correct? ANY 1968 Camaro hood? it would be a "Full stock hood including latches, hinges, springs, brackets, and
braces as originally produced"
Flat hood, z28 hoodss hood, does any in particular have to be run or just a 68 Camaro hood,,,,,, and why????

per nhra rulebook,
HOOD
Full stock hood including latches, hinges, springs, brackets, and
braces as originally produced must be retained. Hood openings
and/or hood scoops other than original equipment prohibited. OEM
hood openings must retain all flappers, grilles, hardware, etc. as
originally produced. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, nonfunctional
hood scoops that were available through the manufacturer are
permitted.

Pickles Gap is a suburb of Toad Suck.

If you choose the 350 or 396, you have to run the SS hood.

Re: Stocker engine Input please
 

Toad Suck has a suburb,,,,,,,? my, my, don't ya know that the Arkansas mapmakers have to smile while they're doing their job. :-)

Guess I better make a post in the classifieds, wanted 68 Camaro SS hood & big block headers needed, any body trade for Harley Parts?

Thanks for all the help guys, looking forward to next spring already.

Re: Stocker engine Input please
 

Unk, what kind of Harley parts do you have? I need some (well, actually I need ALL of it) of the chrome for an 84 1/2 FLHTC. I need to finish restoring it, it needs a new home. I might have some of the big block stuff you need.
