Re: The best "Dime Rocket" combos!
 
The original challenge was "let's hear what you got", but very few have been posted. Is everybody keeping their cards close to their chest or has everybody lost their imagination? I will submit one and challenge anyone to follow:

96-98 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 360. Cheap to buy. Good engine and trans combination. Runs J/SA - N/SA depending on the trim. Engine is way underrated. You could run under the index with one these things using a rebuilder's short block. Good visibility.

First , you'll have to tell everyone where they're hiding on Class Racer Info

Hiding in plain sight . . . .


Do you want me to start grading the combinations by different colors??

Nah, but you gotta realize that when some of us try to enter into the foreign car world, things seem a little strange to us..

If you can't figure out how to go 15.50, cheaply, with that, perhaps you're in the wrong section of this forum. Right, Bob?
Mark,
You have to remove the muffler and air cleaner and raise the fuel pressure a little,

What about the "quadraports"? There are still bargains to be had in the four doors. I know it's no dime rocket but you can hang aluminum parts and a Max Wedge on a '64 Dodge/Plymouth, unlike my 64 wagon! Speaking of which, wagons can still be a bargain...

Now, that right there would be one FUN ride! Probably cost more than a dime to do though. I just looked that one up the other day for a buddy (his is a wagon even cooler!). Runs O/P/Q. Enough cam, good heads and intake, 2V carb isn't the biggest 2G but it's bigger than what I'm used to dealing with.

76-79 Chevy 305 2-bbl is a good choice in any body style.

Dwight, I think you should build the Jeep package and fully document the process. You could be a trendsetter. Well, you already are a trendsetter but could add Jeep building to trendiness.

And available with a stick too, Dwight!
