Hey guys, I only started this post and posted the pics in jest. Every time I stopped by to talk to them all could see were ankles! Just giving them a little credit for thrashing on that Pinto.

I'd say the slower Stockers. at least the one off, or oddball ones require much more thrashing than say a 305 Camaro..Those pretty much use an off the shelf converter, cam, carb, trans, and suspension.. I don't see anyone on here selling Vari-jets, Dual jets, or Holley /Weber 2bbls.. ..or headers for a 2.8 Cavalier. I suppose Billy would build you a Monojet if you really wanted one bad enough ;-)

I've worked on both upper and lower class stockers and in my opinion it is harder to make hay with the slower cars.

This is for GTX John- you mention tearing up more psrts on your wagon because i can assume it is heavier- I am building a 65 Impala, racing weight will be between 3900-4100 lbs, like the 68 Impala I ran in I/S I never broke any parts, really! I ran a Jerico stick too- I will be running a Turbo 350 in my 65 with the same 396/325HP combo- can I expect breakage because of the tranny? Just wondering-

Particularly if it is fairly fast ( 1.498 to 1.54 60's ) Jon 's wagon P/SA = 3850 O/SA= 3620 Small Valve Low Po 318 = 230 HP with 380 Lift Mark William's 35 Spline/Axles/Pro Gears In Phoenix this year .....Broke 9 Teeth off Ring Gear Bent 8 3/4 like a pretzel Took an hour to get each axle out with slide hammer with 300 Lb Guy on the end. Your results may vary.
