He is a bit twisted and that is why he likes me, I think. He said he would figure a way to put a LY6 that he got from E-bay in the wagon and air ride the suspension in it. Don |

The transmissions / bell housings would be the problem. |

My Father put his 1956 2 door post Bel Air together in 1971 for stock eliminator racing. Now 40 years later it looks like he is going to give it another go.
The combo was a 225hp 3 speed running M/S, but this time we are going with a glide behind the 225 hp 265 to run in N/SA. Back in 1971 he was running low 13's with the stick (and far different camshaft rules) but given today's technology and rulebook is it feasible to get this car down into the 12.20-30 range? Here is a picture of the car now in Pro ET brackets. |

Re: Pre '60 Stockers
You won't see anything pre-'60 that isn't a Chevy...ONLY Chev and Cadillac have any listings earlier than t1960 in the class guide, and I really doubt anyone would build a '59 Caddy stocker. Unless NHRA adds some cars to the guide. (can you say, "snowball's chance in hell?")

Re: Pre '60 Stockers
If NHRA or an old tech guy kept the old guides its all in there. I just threw mine away last Febuary. Now I wished I had kept it. It had everything from the 49 Olds on up. I used it for IHRA's pure stock class and regular stockers since IHRA allowed them for as long as I remember. Oh well........
