As my partner Tod says, "we can probably get the car for next to nothing". If we can't do anything with it. I'll just strip it out and sell the shell for scrap.
Yeah, it would at the least need headers, a converter and a posi unit and some gear. I have a set of wheels, just need a set of front tires and a set of slicks. If we end up with it, probably just do a simple tune up on it, check over for safety, brakes and such. Just take it to one of the local strips, see just how far off it is. I'll take it somewhere and weigh it first. Give me an idea of what we're up against.

Robert:
I knew the Town car was not a good choice for IHRA Pure Stock.
As an NHRA Stocker or IHRA EFI Stocker I would think the TCar would need a 4.56 gear, a 4000 + stall , lightweight wheels/tires, lightweight brake rotors, electric fans, and special long duration cams. I would say that 2V could rev, so that would be the key.
You ought to try the combo and let us all know if the car gets close to the index.
