Dime Rocket Fantasy

Joe Toller · 12-23-2018, 11:44 PM

I'll play:
1980 Buick Century 4Dr Sedan
231 V6 with a Dualjet
Fits V/SA at 3250 lbs
Metric 200, access to a cheap Chevette converter (Dacco B10)
7.5 rear with 4.56s, 26" slicks
Stock 60k shortblock, heads (current running/driving car)
1 1/2" headers (Hedman street headers)

Not sure where to start with cam/converter, thinking baseline to just get it down the strip and see what it'll do? Maybe a regrind? What I listed part-wise is what I actually have available right now. Maybe I could get it to the index then upgrade as funds allow, but if nothing else just get it making passes. That was a downfall of my past failures.

Workable? Thoughts/ideas?
