Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

Billy Nees · 01-10-2013, 10:39 AM

Hey Mopar guys! Dare to be different! With the new reduction to the 69/318/230/172, how about a Charger for U/SA?

Marty Knox · 03-08-2013, 11:03 PM

Does this qualify? 92 Firebird with a V6?

I'm always looking at dime rocket possibilities related to Mopars but the intake required to be used on this once looks pretty restrictive.

I'm not all that familiar with the 69 318 but I do know that the early 70s 318s came with both dual and single plane intakes and they(the single planes) look pretty "spiffy".

Why run U/SA? Leave the stick in it!

Well, it looks like there's a new "Dime Rocket King" out there! 72-82 FFFord 302/ 2V in the light body styles can make U! I'd be willing to bet that I could almost index in a stock car.

Billy, see my response on the "OK" thread. We could become folklore for years to come.

For the AMC guys: 77 Matador Coupe, 304/180 in U? These are a unique car, no doubt, and if someone wanted one, there are four (yep, four) of these coupes in my local salvage yard, including a very nice tan on tan model. Ahh, another snowy Saturday...
