CJ mustang engines

[Charley Downing]

What kind of info do you want?
The 281ci CJ is 232hp in SS and the STK 281 ci CJ is 235 hp this week.
It's a great combo if you have $60,000 plus to spend on a I/SA,J/SA or K/SA stocker.

Charley,I just looked at guide Hp. for stock and super stock the same 232. Tom

[Charley Downing]

Tom only the SS is 232hp. Per the hp changes in July of 2011. The stocker is still at 235hp. NHRA has not changed it in there on line spec's.

Thank you for the link and information. Special thanks to 69 Cobra for serving our country!! Be safe and make that future stocker a reality!! Charley-I was at Stanton points meet and got a chance to look your car over. Beautiful car!! Was going to talk with you about car but you appeared busy so did not want to interupt. I'm 57 years old and attended first drag race at Martin 131 dragway in 1964 and saw Dyno Don Nicholson's 427 Comet race the Melrose Missle. I was hooked at 10 years old!! I tried running a 428 cj in the mid 70's on a true shoestring budget , it did not turn out good. So went bracket racing. As I am approaching retirement and my wife is disabled from a car crash, I will never be able to go racing again. I LOVE sportsman racing and my day at Stanton or the US Nationals is my once a year fix. I get to live racing through reading this forum and enjoy learning about the cars and owners. You are right Charley -- if I had $60k to go racing I would be there in a heartbeat but I don't so asking questions and learning about all the new high tech stuff keeps me involved. I woull like to say Thank You to Ford and Dodge for breating new life into this sport!! That 427 Comet from 64 was no different than todays CJ's and it got my dad excited enough to take me to the races--Thank you dad!!

Be careful what you wish for.If they end up combining sticks and autos and he ends up in D/S, you will be racing him HEADS UP.Will it be a good race?Only time will tell I guess.

I would have no problem racing Charlie heads up at the same weight, it would be a close race. You guys with the new cars have to have an unfair advantage though, so that will never happen.

Poor poor Andrew and his -1.20 D/SA and E/SA car.

I think I may have JOEL Build me a C-4 for next year. I like the idea of my 281ci car kicking the ***** of old 350's in D/SA, E/SA and F/SA.
