Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

Mark Yacavone · 07-02-2023, 12:21 PM

Might need a few updates here, on this non-racing weekend.

Only thing I've got at the moment is this one.
1984 Riviera , 252 Buick V6 4 bbl for V/SA (15.50 index)
There have been a few cars with this combo..I think Bob Shaw might have tried one.
The engine came in Pontiacs, Buicks, and even Caddys, but the 84 has the biggest cam and carb, and the lowest rating. I think I know how it got that way, but we won't go there ;-)
Can someone tell me why this wouldn't be an easy second under combo?

What else ?
