When its on the top of the qulifiying sheet it would be. If i did not have so many irons in the fire this would be a neat car to make fly.

I don't know Tom or Sean but I have seen the car around and think that this puppy could be faster than stink. AND it can fit 5 different classes with an intake change.

Claim 83 with FI and loose 45 HP! Same heads, pistons and cam.

There's an 81 injected Imperial for sale on ebay cheap, hard to find considering many were converted over to carbs. I would think the fuel injection would be an obstacle on this one.

I'm always looking at dime rocket possibilities related to Mopars but the intake required to be used on this once looks pretty restrictive.

I'm not all that familiar with the 69 318 but I do know that the early 70s 318s came with both dual and single plane intakes and they(the single planes) look pretty "spiffy".

Why run U/SA? Leave the stick in it!

Well, it looks like there's a new "Dime Rocket King" out there! 72-82 FFFord 302/ 2V in the light body styles can make U! I'd be willing to bet that I could almost index in a stock car.
