Really? I would think it would be less expensive to buy than a Camaro.

Al Provoast had the Olds version, new. Didn't run very well, so he didn't like it. He didn't keep it long.

But, after thinking about it, probably not a "Dime Rocket". It must be that too much PRI glitter has clouded my thinking!

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
It did run well, and I had talked to Al in the staging lanes at E-town during the Summernats back in the 90's. Asked him why he abandoned that project and his exact reply was he was unable to get any consistency out of the car with that throttle body injection. That thing was a tank for sure and he dared to be different ! Back then I always thought there was a 307 Olds motor in that car, not the 305 (Chevy) "corporate" engine. I was wrong.
