Proposal for Old Cars in Stock

Jeff Teuton · 04-05-2010, 04:36 PM

Tech man, those 'multimillion darts & cudas' were devalued severly last year. Humbling is what you call it. But you know, an old Barton motor and a good car is an excellent bracket car. We did that last year. Anybody need any old SS/AH motors?

Mopar will soon release an all aluminum block probably capable of over 1000 hp in 426 and 440 based on the current 6.1 Hemi design. Same heads as the current DP cars, big one barrel throttle body, maybe something for the blown crowd also. Crate motors & parts. But you know how those 'crate motors' move around from car to car.

Ah, Hudsons! You now have the first "Crate Motor Stocker". Ike Smith built 4 Hudson Jets (small compact car 2800#), and convinced "Farmer" it was and option, only to find that they set the firewall back 4 inches to get a 308 cu in, dual carbed motor and Hydramatic in to J/ Stock. This caused my Falcon to be uncompetitive for over two years. So you see there is precedence for whats going down. A couple of "names" had them and did real well with them, also. Ah, history.

P.S. I forgot to add this was about 1963/1964 or so.
