Maybe put my son in something like that. What's the Index for that?

I would look at the '77-79 Seville, 350/180 (170 in '78-79), and the '78-79 Fleetwood Sedan, 425/180 if I wanted to build a Q car.

Edit: Billy's suggestion blows mine out of the water...

I'm gonna guess this is the guy who got his new class in exchange for not being able to run GT.

My 88 Olds wagon with 307 roller would fit.

Could this be the reason?: http://classracerinfo.com/CGPage.asp...98&MAKE=Camaro

Gotta find a "benefactor" for this one!
Think about it! SS/Q, Stage it, hold it at, what, 8500 and drop the clutch and start pulling gears! And a 5 speed to boot!

I'd run it!

Looks like the Gremlin could use a bit of help to run SS/QA..12.95 @ 3050..hp for SS is at 160....ouch with that little carter 2 barrel......I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask for some hp off the motor for SS, as it is at their discretion. Interesting moves, from them to say the least.
