Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

'76 Chevelle is an interesting choice. With it you can run the 305 2bbl in U, but also have the option of 350 2bbl, 350 4bbl and 400 4bbl if you decide to make a career with the car. The '75 Chevy II 262 is another option for U.

The thing that I don't like about the 75 262 is that it gets the small 2G(1.09vs.1.18). Now if NHRA would give it back all of the HP that the 76 motor has gotten on it well..........

Dwight,
I've been talking with Billy about such a combination as I have a near original 1976 Chevelle Laguna S3 in the shop now. Original 305 car

I thought that there was more of a difference than that(what happens when you ASSume). The Nova was only available with 262 in 75 W/ small carb. I think that I'd rather have the 267 @ 150 HP if I had to take the 1.09 carb, even 165 is too much. 300 lbs. difference in U.
