TimQuigley ran a killer 66 Biscayne in O and P stick with a 283 4 speed. It was a great car! The 250 hp 327 looks good too. Go for the Jerico!

I was friends with Bill Izykowski when he raced a 427/425 Biscayne in B/S on 7" slicks. I sat in the passenger seat while we did burnouts one day for fun! Low 12's at the time. The long wheelbase helped as the cars were often a little sideways leaving the line. The shorter wheelbase cars like a Chevy II were even more of a handfull with a 396 on those same 7" tires.....

Thanks for all the replies. The stick would certainly be a blast, and probably save some $$$ when compared to building a lightweight th400 and converter set-ups. You really think I could get it down to B weight? Shipping weight is 3400# and change.
Nice picture....same color as my old 66 SS. Anybody figure out what the Holley carb# is all about fot the 325 combo? I only remember Holley on 425 h.p stuff. |

Getting to the bottom of B, 3442#, would be VERY tough, but might be possible, though pretty expensive. Everything would have to be light, chrome moly cage, aftermarket brakes, small fuel cell, ultra light wheels , etc. You'd need to weigh it like it is first, to see where you're at. If you set the engine and a transmission in the car and take it to the scales as it sits, and it weighs 3800#, then I doubt you could get it down. It's been forever since I weighed one of the big cars.
