Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
If you will do a little research, that 165 HP is actually a HO 305, just like the '85 -86 Camaros. Still a very good combo, rated 263 HP in a Camaro'

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
Considering that the 4.3 V6 in the 86 truck is rated at 192 HP (R/SA) I think the 350 is a winner!
Also the cam lift is . 430 or OEM whichever is greater (Jeep is .439) |

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
Randall Campbell called me Saturday and we have one in the process,going to start with low budget version.There is a truck about a half mile from me that had already been catching my eye for 4.3 4 speed in T/Stock but 350 4 speed in U would be even better. But right now I don't even have truck to get malibu to track have to borrow my Dad's which works out since he's not racing right now,so another race car would not make much sense.

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
Its a flat top 305 --- heck yeah at 165 hp! Will IHRA accept this factor also? I am looking for a vehicle to drive in and run, was thinking 87 cutlass but this is much cheaper.

Re: NHRA approves a new "Dime Rocket"!
There is no 350/165 engine specs only 305/165 specs. I'm sure it will be corrected, unless we just dream up our own 350 specs
 which will lead to 10 or 12 short bed chevy trucks at each race. Don't think a 624 head lasted past 82 but I really don't care. Just would like to see engine specs before buying one.
