Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
500 wont pay for the pistons if you want to go 2.5 under.

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
If you want to go 2.5 or more under with this combo you will have about 900.00 in pistons 600.00 in rings another 1500.00 in valves and springs about 500.00 in cam and lifters if you do that cheap plus all the rest, and last i checked this type of truck isn't that cheap as a core. So a decent one could be built for about 12 to 15k if you did alot of your own labor witch by todays dollars would be about the best bang for the buck out there!!
