Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
Since our bench racing season appears to be extended indefinitely - I think we need to bump this thread to the top and have some fun!

Jim, you're going to have to refresh my memory on this one. Was it your combo or the Super6?

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
OK, who went to the trouble of getting the 2001 Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Grand Marquis into the class guide?
4.6L mod motor, rated at 220hp at a 17.xx weight break - so either Q/SA at 3910 or R/SA at 4130. Similar specs and shared parts with the Mustang GT, which is at 260. Anything to see here? |

 If nothing else, I thought this thread would make for good reading/inspiration for those who haven't seen it yet. Most of the combos in this thread are still untouched. The '82 Mustang/Capri is still at 157hp (less than some of the other 302 2-bbls that have been hit). The '79 Mustang/Capri is still at 143hp. If you're a GM fan, all of those 305 2bbls are still at 180hp, and I've seen a few run well. There are dozens of different ways you could build one - I think they would all be fun! My two favorites are still the '85 Lincoln and the '96-'98 Mustang V6 (I know Will Lamprecht is working on one!). Last edited by Nick Heath; 03-18-2020 at 11:42 PM. |

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
I talked to Lee Tuttle in the staging lanes at the Baby Gators. I was very impressed with his 305 2bbl Camaro. A second under in R/SA!
