I can't help but think that a 4spd 2-bbl Super Six could be competitive in U or V, question is could it be done on a budget and live?? I have a bunch of B-body 8 3/4 stuff that would bolt in and a couple of 833 A-body 4spds(one Liberty) that are also a direct bolt in, you would have to live with the ratio but I think they would survive ok behind a 2900lb "buzzin half dozen" if the clutch was right. It would be fun to play with since I have several of these cars and engines floating around..lol!
Just remember , a stick car will break stuff ,even in V/Stock

I'd slick- shift the Chrysler 4 speed and try it. Get yourself an approved diaphragm p.p. and rag disc and shim it out a little until it barely wants to slip on the 3-4 shift.
We're not spending any money on this thread..remember .
