Just something to think about
A Stock/SS Eliminator Racers take on an old saying;
You can go racing cheap, fast,or easy but you can only pick two of the three ways; Fast and easy but it won't be cheap Fast and cheap but it won't be easy Cheap and easy but it won't be fast

Re: Just something to think about
It must be very cold and snowy Billy for all this wisdom to come out.

Re: Just something to think about
Just thought about it and didn't make a bit of "cents". I'll go back to thinking of Dart blocks, 55mm camshafts, 927 keyed lifters, 1.88 rod journals and 9000 RPM SS Big Blocks. Not cheap or easy but will be fast and under the index for more than a grand and not a dime rocket!!! MB.

Maurice, that sounds like a run of the mill FE stocker engine.

Re: Just something to think about
Naw, that would be RPM blocks and they would never see 9000.

Re: Just something to think about
similar ...we've always had the three rules - fast, cheap or pretty, pick any two!

Re: Just something to think about
Are we talking racing, or women? Fairly certain the same can be said for both. lol
