Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

I picture those Caprice/Impalas as being our generations 55-57 cars?

Here's one, it would need weight removed, but on the plus you could race in rich, corinthian leather: 77-78 Cordoba 318. Very plentiful in my neck of the woods, 8 1/4 rear (B-body 8 3/4 will fit), sturdy and cheap (demo derby guys LOVE them), they come in at 21.19, (3900 lbs!) but I know firsthand they are loaded with unnecessary lean-burn emissions crap and sound deadener, so getting some weight out wouldn't be as daunting as one might think. It also looks like, though maybe a deal breaker, the Edelbrock heads are allowed?
