I changed my mind, after seeing 90 cents or more go into that Monte Carlo.

Besides, I 've got plenty of D/R's that are RWD, but they're au..au..automatics, and that ain't me.
RWD D/R stick shift cars are as rare as old Escorts.
How about a 77-79 Camaro or some Firebirds With a 305 2V? Watch your shipping wts. and you can make U/S! Got to be plenty of them and Novas around for not big bucks.

As evident I must like a "slow" V-8 Stick car as much as anyone. Given that if you try to do one on a budget it will be a parts eater. Unless you find something really light or horribly underfactored like a 302 FFFFord. The fox body 5.0 guys throw away good 8.8 rear ends too.

Nope..too expensive around here. Everything that old is a collector's item.
Parts breaker, anyway..Too heavy...
77 Maverick F-F-Ford...about 800# lighter

Now that would make a difference in my thinking..
Or maybe an 87 notch Fox 2300
No ballast in either one!

Call, if anyone needs my business address ;-)

I have a 64 Chevy II four door runs and drives V8 glide, you have to find the 4 banger. It is purdy ugly, someone painted it with a brush. All I what is engine, yes it is a 721 block. Make me a offer. Class Racer were dreams come true. Tom

Tom, Even a 2 dr. is going to be way heavy. It has to be a 62-63, for the light front suspension, 4 lug stuff.. claimed as a 63 ,for the big cam.
But thanks anyway...

Any love for the 82 Firebird or Camaro with the 2.5L 4 cylinder? Hard to find, but I have seen a couple around in the last few years.

It would probably be fun with a stick but even with an automatic I doubt that it would be cheap.

you are going to have to run a SD block and a really good crank and not sure if its an Integral or crossflow head PLUS lots of tricks to make one make power as well as stay together--not a lot of "speed" parts out there anymore unless you can find a sprint car guy that has stuff--FED 387
