[GarysZ24]

The more I read all of these posts about that combo, the more I'm glad I sold my '81 D5 Street Eliminator winning '73 Pontiac Ventura, that had a 350 2bbl combo. At Bandimere's my stock 173 engine in my Z24 ran about the same in the quarter (maybe a few tenths quicker), at 17.55 than my Ventura ran, however the Ventura was a 3600lb car w/o me in it, vs the approx. 2600+ lb car with me in it.

It may be more of a challenge to race and win rounds with, but it was probably much cheaper to build and make competitive.
