I thought you were joking, till I looked! 14.85 with the new index a bit porky though @ a min weight comp weight of 4470. Think of the sponsorship potential, 85 yards of add space, blotting out the sun for the spectators, moving at well highway speeds so they can even read the fine print.....Do you even need a cage at that class?

Frankly it would be an easy one to do, for practically no dough....

They came with 4 speed OD transmissions behind the 300-6 and 302 V-8, so you could run one

Try to find one. Not as easy as you might think.

Tried to edit that but it wouldnt let me. They came with the 4 speed OD in the late 70s & early 80s but i dont think they did in 91

Not very strong anyway , 4th gear drove thru the cluster to get the OD gearing. Some had bushings, the better ones had bearings in the cluster. Nothing a Jerico wouldnt fix
