I am confident your car is a LS1 since it is a 1998. The NHRA guide for whatever reason only lists the LT1 for the entire year. 1998 is LT1 only. There is some controversy about that, but it is what it is and there isn't a performance advantage of the 1998 over the 1997 in the LT1 config.

I do have my spare LT1 that is fast, very fast. I would make you a good deal if you are truly interested.

Shouldn'd you be running that one in your car?

No. That one is legal.

Plus, you would be a little closer behind me and could tell if I was waving at you will all five fingers from 1000' on. :D

Well Kyle I was just joking around. I am trying to build a LS1. I will keep that in mind though.

Old School meets 2012?
 
I built a "new" 1964 Ford Fairlane clone Thunderbolt to run stock with, hoping to have it on the track for testing and race it in Mission this spring. PMR did the CM cage, rear-end, and front suspension, I plumbed, wired, computer, and finishing work. Waiting for the 427 Hi-Riser motor from Blair Patrick (hoping to have it real soon) so I can order the converter, C4 and converter are from A1.

I have plans to run IHRA Stock Production for the first time since one race in 2003. The index got whacked right after that race and its taken me this long to gather parts that will run the index in the heat. If it will run the SS/BS index in the heat I'll be racing NHRA also. To say heads up runs against the mini prostockers in that class will be a challenge is an understatement.

Its something I have wanted to do for a very long time, but if I don't get off the keyboard and get in the shop it's not going to happen!

I was running Hagan Gary in this run, broke out and still had a good time.

Well, This appears to be as good of thread as any to make my first post.

Although the plan is to compete in a full season will be 2013, I'm building a 2012 5.0 Cobra Jet to run in SS/H. Talk about jumping in with both feet right?

I've never ran in the NHRA so I'm having to learn how things operate around this neck of the woods. Its because of the Cobra Jet reintroduction is what got me looking at racing in the NHRA in the first place.(That and dissatisfaction with other organizations). I've wanted to go racing full time for several years but in order to make a solid go of it I had to become debt free and put family life on solid foundation. So after 2 years of paying off everything I can now go full fledge into racing. Although it will be rough at first to do everything using zero debt and take a longer period of time to accomplish full operation that is the personal path I deem 100% worth it.(Selling my 03 Cobra this summer to help speed up the process)

Scott Barker and myself will be doing all the chassis work. BES will be building the engine. I'm getting help on the clutch set-up from Scotts friend that runs in GT. I'm still working on which is the best route on Transmission for my budget.

I hope to meet some more of you at the track. The ones I have spoken with so far as been incredible helpful.

I hope to make it out this spring or early summer, finally. Car is at Dave Cech's shop getting pretty red skin, and as soon as it comes home the thrash will be on. 66 Nova, 327/275, Jerico w/ Advanced Clutch. F or G/S. Fingers crossed!
