how much do build this to a stocker??

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

There are other places, but the 2 that have the info I think you are looking for are

http://www.nhra.com/competition/blueprints.aspx

and

of course

http://www.nhra.com/competition/classification.aspx

But there may be more info in the accepted products list (?)

http://www.nhra.com/userfiles/file/N...edProducts.pdf

But I dont see block numbers on the Blueprint guide ? Maybe the SBC dosent matter ? We have them on our guide, but.....well who knows , maybe someone who actually does could shed some light on this.

I have been "told" that block numbers "dont matter" ? But well I was a little leary of that, if thats the case why are they in some cases listed ?

We had talked about sleeving a 6.1 block to the right bore for a 5.7 at one point....(before I realized I had 2 new 5.7 blocks of the "right" number available in my storage Guess it pays to be a pack rat.

exatcly sure what numbers to look at..i may have found a 305..a fellow racer around here has 2 305s that may work..i just need to get the correct numbers to compare them..he also has a th350 that i can use..may have found a good deal on a q-jet carb, and a convertor also..trying to find a sponsor to help with this deal, but the odds of that are very small..hopefully one of the 305s match,,i would be in pretty good shape if that happened...everybodys help is very appreciated and i can damn sure use every bit of advice anyone can give me..

thanks-colton

Colton, go to a div. race coming up in Nhra in your area. Find someone with your combo and do some talking. You'll probably find more info than you can rememeber and maybe some one with some spare parts cheap and role in and be competitve. Then you can build off that and be faster as time and money permit.But race Nhra, Ihra and some Assc. races good luck and have fun. (I agree with Charlie on this) and I think he know's your combo well.

I think I have a Alum intake for the 305. Stop by the pits and I will give it to you.

Any gm block, its the head #s that need to be right, intake and carb but the carb number can be diff if the cfm, size of the butterflys are the same and that is listed in the blueprint spec's sheet.

Thanks Bob, I'm the guy with the 305 parts. Y'all have all given Colton some great advice. He is a good kid and a great new driver that didn't grow up racing in a JR dragster that daddy's money built. This message board is one of my favorites because one can get some pretty decent answers to real question a Stocker newbe might have. And young stocker racers are few and far between. Although I only bracket race now I too was introduced to NHRA stock eliminator by a young man two years my senior working at a Piggly Wiggly store. He built my first 283 stocker motor in exchange for some hand lettering on his O/S wagon. That motor is still in great working order and has all the tricks allowed in the late 1970's. But with his help getting started, I've been racing ever since, and as any first generation racer knows how difficult it can be getting started in class legal racing. BTW, that racer that help me get started was the infamous "Pickles Gapp Flash" Dwight Southerland. Thanks Dwight
