Anyone gonna do any new S/SS builds over the winter ?

I'm putting together my 67 El Camino for Stock/bracket racing. Initially dropping in a 250 to get it going while I build a 230. If I can't get it to run the index with the 230 I may do a 170 hp 283.

82 Grand Prix, 252v6, Dime Rocket special!

Started a few weeks ago on my 89 5.0 stang. I'll be building it slowly. First it will be raced locally in the summit bracket series at my home track, Rt66. As we improve our consistency and get at least a little bit under the index we'll turn our attention to running div 3 in M/S or L/S. I'm low-dollar so it will take a year or two before anyone see's me in stock.

Not modern but starting a barn find 68 chevelle ss as a 70's stocker street car. Have 496 for under the hood. Period correct SW guages, moroso mech tach, winters shifter, unilite, m/t valve covers. Looking for older accel super coil, old msd 6a box and chevelle ladder bars.

Converting a drag radial 1989 mustang, into a GT/FA. Stock rear suspension, stock rear frame rails, on a DOT tire. Thanks to MR2 and Holbrook.

I use to have one of the accel coils in a cabinet somewhere. Let me look.
