I went 12.90's in Q/S with my 65 valiant 273 bbl 4 speed at 100mph. Not a killer but it will run with the good motor out of my U car i could probably go 12.70 today. The other combos out there are much better, cheaper and last but not least simpler to build.

But that sure looks like fun! And you can't put a price on a good time! None of these combos are "killers" but can they be built for a reasonable price and will they go under the indexes? OBTW, 12.70s in Q is nothing to sneeze at!

I have a 66 Impala that will not cooperate with my budget, 283 2 barrel @ 170 is beginning yo look real good!!!!! Only seen one guy run one and it was not real stellar. Is this a bad combo for U/SA Billy or Mark? I'm talking CHEAP!!!!

2V 283 in U will run the index but really small carb will hurt. Don't get carried away with cam.

I tried my 2 bbl combo on my 66 nova a couple months ago and it did not like it at all ..
It however did do the index in Q for the 1/8 mile .Did not get to test the 1/4.
Plus all i did was intake and carb (only change from my 4 bbl combo). I am sure a gear and converter change would have helped..

Paul,

What kind of weight did the car have to carry?
