whatcha think about this one billy and yac? dwight? etc? most parts over the counter or bone yard available almost anyone should be able to make this one run, talk about easy to drive, this one is a stab and steer with the right converter

NHRA factor is 285 and it has the same size carb as a 350 Buick AND some Buick V6s. I think that this one is a bow-wow Alex.

Damn!

What a difference 5 years made.
If this one was still available, I'd be on the way right now.
Note: since this thread started, the 82 was brought back to the original 157 hp. ( in the
Wholesale 302 2v Massacre Reduction)
I don't mind pointing this out , because it is now "stick only" , as it should have been all along. Nobody is going to build one anyway because everybody knows you can't win with a low class stick shift car.

I know in general it is more difficult to win with a stick shift car.Why does the lower class stick shift make it even more difficult?
