Default Re: Best motor and car combination for J K L index

The Chevelles are at 217 with a 283. 3210 lbs in M. This is a really good combo, but, takes some work to sort the coil spring suspension/chassis out. The Novas are a better car I think, but, have to be heavier.

Come on in, the water is fine!!

Billy Lynn and Dean Oliver have the '79 Malibu's flying. The early '80's Camaro 305's run hard. Some Pontiac's late 70's, Ford Mustangs 80's, as Wade said come on it's fun.

Don't forget about the Buick's. The '72 Gran Sport with the 350 is an awesome combination. Tim Lowe and Bob Gere are two good examples. Also, the '73 Apollo with the 350 is fast. Buick's are not the most popular cars, so we can control our horsepower factors much better then the more common cars (Camaro, Mustang, Malibu, etc).

I'm kinda fond of the 73-74 Buick Apollo combination also. It may not be the fastest, but the distributor is easy to get to! The GM guys think that we are OK and even the Ford folks don't mind because of that distributor location. That and everybody goes.... What the ...... , That's not a Chebbie! Don't call it a Nova!!

N - Nova (Chevy)
O - Omega (Olds)
V - Ventura (Pontiac)
A - Apollo (Buick)

coincidence????

the 75 Pontiac in the classified section would make a good stocker.Most of the hard to get done work is completed(paint and body work).
