Default Re: Have you ever thought about...............

I don't know if I'll be able to make it happen, but what I have in mind is certainly not the the most competitive combination, and probably not the most competitive with either the body or the engine. In fact, in a different body, the engine is 12HP softer. But that's okay, it's relatively competitive, it's cool, and it's my favorite. It's not even the only one out there. But it does fit in with current programs I'm involved with.


It's one reason that I don't get super torn up about bogus factors and paper cars, etc. Because I didn't choose the most competitive combination possible, and I'm not chasing points, etc. This is pretty much just fun now. It doesn't make financial sense at all, and I know I surely can't afford to pursue even a Division title, if I can even drive worth a damn anymore.


I don't know that there's a combination I'd rather run, but there are some I'd love to play with. Maybe Fred's 62 Corvette fuel injected 327, a 67 Corvette with an L-71 (I'd prefer an L-88), or a 65 Chevelle 396, something really stupid, like a 409/425 in a 62-64 Impala, or something different, maybe a cool old Pontiac 421 Super Duty, or a Buick. None of them are killer combinations, most of them are reasonably competitive, in a faster class, and would be just fun.
