Help a super stock rookie
 

Hey guys:

Great website, and the people on it.
I have a car in progress that was going to be a ET or S/ST car, but now we have the super stock bug. The class we are trying to fit it into is SS/CS. The car is a 67 Chevy II that was mini tubed some years back. The max tire size that will fit is 10.5 x 30R 15. It has ladder bars, and floater setup on mono leafs. We are doing a roll bar to cage add on as we speak. I know this is not the way to go, but its what we have to work with.

My question is do you think we have any chance of making this car work with this setup?

Also, the class is a iron head class and we intend to use iron bowtie SBC heads. what cubic inch engine would you go with. we have a 363 inch combo now that we could put the bowties on, but Im not sure these heads can be made to feed that big of motor a high RPM.

Last question, who is the man for the job as far as porting the iron bowties.

Thanks, Chuck

Whoever ports the heads on the Mans SS/CS is doing a good job.

Call Rick Waters at 623 780 8778. Your cid is a little to big, you would be carrying way to much weight. Drop it into the teens or twenties. Call Bob Book @ 815 464 7200 and he will send you a great carb. These guys both know there **** Rick builds some of the fastest comp motors ,Bob has the best carbs and builds some of the fastest pro stock motors out there. Both very smart people and are glad to shoot the **** with you to help you out.

Matt Potts ran 10.30 last year in GT/FA & that was a new Camaro with 30x10.5 Hooisers.

Steve Wann's SS/HA Cuda has 9" stocker Hoosier radials. High 1.20 60's, 9.70's @ sea level. Bobby D. (AA/SA) and Robert Pond (AA/S, no radials) the same.Big tires are overrated.

I'm going from a 9x29.5 that saw 10.00's with 7800 RPM launch & Cal-Track system to a really big 12.5x30.5 steam roller tire and plain old ladder bars and mini-tubbed factory wheel house. Trully 20th century tech in the 21st century. :o

Ok , we will finish the car, weigh it, and then decide on a displacement. We will sell the AFR comp 210's and the Carb, and use the money to get the Bowties done up. with a crank and piston change, we can make this 363 a bit smaller and away we go.Tell all your friends there is a guy selling a few new parts for cheep.
