Six cylinder Super Stockers???

One I really miss. How about Clem LaChance in his SS/CS "Mad Frenchman" Maverick with a Ford inline 6. Clem was a great guy and always lots of fun to talk to.

The only inline six I could find that had a carb bigger than a one bbl. was the 250 Pontiac and the Chrysler super six and hyper pack six. A 1979 Volare with a 225 2 bbl. super six is NHRA rated at 155 with a weight break of 19.35. SS/P is a 17.00+ weight break it would be pretty heavy. The 1961 Lancer with a 225 hyper pack six and (I think) a AFB is NHRA rated at 196 and has a 13.18 weight break, a natural SS/L car. The 1968 Firebird with the 250 OHC and Q-jet is NHRA rated at 215 with a weight break of 14.49 a natural SS/M car. The Pontiac and the Hyper Pack were NHRA rated the same as the factory h.p. rating and they look high to me. It looks like Super Stock might be a hostile environment for these six's.

Lots of AMC's would fit including the almighty 77 Gremlin rated really high for SS @ 160, its 148 for stock. The limiting factor is getting enough fuel to flow out of the old hard to find 2 barrell carbs to run the index @ 12.65 for a PA and 12.50 for a P. You might see a few more if the holley 2 barrell could be used as a replacement carb. My 16 year old son likes the idea of slow SS.

Eric, I forgot the AMC's had a 2 bbl. I used to have a Jeep J-10 with a 258 2bbl. and a 4 speed granny in the floor. Had a CJ with a 304 3 speed, and a Commando 304 with an automatic, all three got 12 mpg lol. The 77 258 is factory rated at 114, NHRA rated at 160hp. That seems pretty steep to me. shipping weight on the Gremlin is 2753 @ a weight brake of 17.21. I was looking up the Carter BBD and it seems to be flow rated at around 280 CFM. Also I agree with your Son, I enjoy seeing cars in the slower classes. Don Jackson

If you wanted to do a 4 cylinder. You can run SS/ES, SS/FS, or SS/GS
GS is front wheel drive the others are RWD.
If you want the slowest index (13.65) in Superstock, My car is for sale.
