engine choice?

I get the parts are not cheap. This was not a dime rocket thread. If your on a real budget then run it as a 1968 because its not going 1.00 under without good parts.

I've been accused before of taking it way to far with slow cars, but somehow im as entertained with a 10 second car as I am with a 13 second one with a lot of parts that have to be hand made.

The 1969 suggestion was purely to make the car a good combination. It may be $1500 worth of parts.

I guarantee if you could sell the idea of other stock or superstock racers having the ability to take 170 pounds out of their car, there would be a line up at $10K

to me $1500 is not a big deal. This is not a short term project to be on the track this year or the next. And as it gets done, it maybe run as a bracket car with a stock 340 engine. This is a project that is an enjoyment for me. And it is teaching me to do things right and not quickly.

Again, thanks Paul for your input, one day. If possible I would like to meet you face to face. I admire your dedication to the sport

Paul, there are few people who "get" that. Sometimes, it's all about personal satisfaction.

It always SHOULD be about personal satisfaction.
