Would the 260 combo be competitive in U/SA ? How about the 305,307. or Olds 350 ?

350 4 barrel is the best, avoid the dual jet!!!

Joe, the 302 2V combo that you asked about in your previous post is an "easier" combo to do. What is it that you're looking for, a "cheap" combo, an "easy" combo or a "class killer"? If you would like you can send me a PM and maybe I can help you find it.

Billy ,while we are on the subject. How would my 66 nova 4-dr do with a 283 2bbl combo now that we have all these trick converters and all?. In IHRA it would be a N,O and P car..I already have a good 2bbl carb and intake that i bought when i built the 4bbl motor. Just curious and i know you would know . I will mostly run 1/8 mile around here.

Danny my Cutlass runs 7.90's 1/8 mile in P/SA... think the 283 2-bbl can do that? Would it run under the index? I'd say yes....would it be a "good" combo.....no.

Billy,
I am personally sticking with my Monza in L/SA with the 350 - 2V combo. The same car you used to see at Island dragway back in the 80's and always helped me with advice. Not a killer combo ,but having alot of fun with it. I'm checking out combos for a friend who wants to get back into racing Stock once again after being away 30 years. Possibly a lower class to keep somewhat affordable. 10 Grand or less. I know that's a long-shot , but possible. Thanks for your offer.
