It would cost $75k to $100k to fully develop my '58 Pontiac Chieftan Tri power to a competitive Stocker, same to the rest of the cars......no parts are available unlike the tri-5's which have all the parts available.

i have the tri power for the 58

Vic,

I've got a black '58 tri-power Chieftan with 29k original miles, it's exactly as new with only one repaint. Say I decide to race the car in the new classes: where do I get my camshaft, my headers, lifters, rockers, ignition, etc. Since everthing has to be scienced out then built by hand and in very limited numbers, how much do you think it would cost to make it just run the index much less be competitive?

If you have a tri5 chevy all that work is done already. A phone call to Jegs will buy most everything to build the car......call Hooker and ask for a set of headers for a '58 Tbird with the optional 430 Mercury engine.
