Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

Just for the record, we did not get the 350 combo approved. But who ever did, THANK YOU!

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

I owned an 86 that I bought near new from a family member that purchased it new and it WAS a 350. Having said that I do live in Canada and perhaps it was a Canada only thing. See! We really must be special. Wink wink nudge nudge

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

You were the first ones I thought of when I first discovered this combo. I wonder who it really was and why it took so long for one to surface?

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

I think every one can read this it shows a 350 ci 165 hp.

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

Rick Schilling, the truck 350 uses the same piston as 350 in camaro and malibu wagon 287hp,look under NHRA accepted products list for 1986 truck.

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

You are correct Tom. I was refering only to the 1986 model year.

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

Jack, I talk to Bob about this truck in U/SA, he think`s the truck would run 2.5 seconds under. Tom

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

With all due respect, I say closer to 3.00 under..
Takes about 375 hp to do it...
Seeing a decent 305 will make that......

Somebody plug in the values...Remember, .430 lift cam

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
 

You sure about that Jack? The $500 will pay for 1/2 the engine.
