Todd,
Sorry about the shot on Carrol Shelby, I just could not resist as I have read all the complaining about his "paper" cars on the forums. Personally, I really do not care what people say is legal or not. If NHRA allows it I guess it is OK. As far as Mopar giving assistance to racers, it has only been for larger displacement motors, thay really could give a rats *** about a 273 2bbl. Though I recall a SS/AH car operated by a father and son that put a bowtie emblem on their dashboard of their Mopar in retaliation for their displeasure. There are a number of quality engine builders out there, how one works with his customers would seem important to me. Ron Kendzior, who used to build stocker motors way back when did mine and I am extremely pleased. That was like in 1989. I have heard alot of good things about Woodro Josey and alot of the other engine builders referred to on this thread. So, go ahead and pick one, just be carefull that it is legal in NHRA's eyes, or at least Glendora's viewpoint. My next engine builder is going to be from a galaxy far far away, I just love the principal of magnetic molecule transportation within itself. Ron Ortiz U/SA

Yes Bub Whitaker does an awesome S/SS engine. But we do ours in house. And i bet that if i leaned on my Stocker engine i could run as far under the index in super stock that you can go in stock. One day, ill have my 73 bodied car together and run F/G/H in NHRA, but for now ill stick with my IHRA stocker NHRA super stocker.

Gary McGlasson does a very good job of building engines in Albuquerque , New Mexico . 1-505-865-0059. He know how to make those 427 stockers fly ask Bobby De Armond. Builds some pretty quick Super Stockers .

You've spent so much time up Hawk’s sphincter you’re starting to asphyxiate yourself and hallucinate. It’s time to come out and get some fresh air. You’ve said many less than brilliant things on classracer, but your previous statement is by far the best. Thanks for the laughs! Last edited by Chris Hill; 12-12-2008 at 06:31 PM. Reason: spelling |

There's alot more to class engines than the air pump itself ..It's after the sale that Bub and the folks at Burtonsville Machine accel. Ironically, Bob Beach built my bracket race engine, which wins money for me to dump into my Bub engines.

Hey Chris my bad. They dont show MPH on the qualifing sheets. For some reason in super stock i just forget where the finish line is. Hey have you learned to do a burn out in the truck without kicking the rods out of yet?
