Nice ti meet you in this . I don't understand there is two weights listed for this car I guess I can run it as a concorse if that's the better weight break that's what I'm trying to figure out where it would be best . I raced NASCAR modifides for 20 years this is an away game for me. I did a motor for tony Massari in his buick in 05 he set a record with it . In the front wheel drive class . I just can't do front wheel drive im old school it goes against the laws of nature . Mut that's me ! Why is ther two weight listed for the same car ?

The Concours is an upscale version of the Nova and carries a bit more weight and slightly different trim and lights. Just enough to move it a class or so.

Tell us more about the Muncie.
No reason why you couldn't run a Muncie in T/Stock ...if it had enough low gear in it.

The transmission I have is the 252 first gear wide ratio box from a 65-67 GTO withe two groves on the input shaft . I was figuring at least 4.88 rear gear with that . What do you think ???

Not gonna have enough gear in the rear to offset the low gear. Not with the 305 2 bbl.

I figured a 92 " tire and 5.13's . At about a second under (100 mph, give or take) you shouldn't be over 6 grand, which I think is plenty for the medium size 2bbl. on the 305. But you need more first gear. Otherwise it'll hook and bog and kill a bunch of ET. I don't think I'd invest in a 8.5 spool and axles for any stick car though.
