Popular misconception.. They will go as high as the rods and valve train will stand. I think any car is a good candidate for a stick. Lighter car is just easier on drive line parts.

Lotsa carburetor relative to engine size is a good factor to look at. There is no one factor that is the trick. Just about any combination is a good stick car. In fact, all race cars should be stick cars.

lotsa carburator?? So lets say a 72 chevelle 454/270 that run a Quadrajet might not be a good combo??
