Wow. Definitely not the Stock Eliminator I was attracted to in the 70's!

Although its a completely different sport, I'd like to share a line from Robert Duvall from the movie "Day's of Thunder". "There's nothing stock about a stock car"

Chris and frank those are both funny and true statements...lol...I've been racing stock over 20 years now and my dad raced since the 60's and we constantly have a conversation about how drastic the rules have changed even just in the last 6 years, much less how different it was when you had to have the stock valve spring height and pressures, stock cam durations and overlap and such...evolution is reality as far as this all goes...

Allen - From your experience with these engines what would be the minimum work involved in getting one to say middle of the road performance with today's standards?
