What is your dream S/SS car?

[impstocker]

Just finishing my 1965 Impala 396/325HP I/SA car, I see 1965 was the only year the 396/425HP Hi-Po rectangular port motor was available in Impala and Corvette, NHRA refactor to 385 HP, 395 HP with the Edelbrock replacement head.

1966 and on the Hi-Po motor was the 427/425HP NHRA rated 435, 445. 396 only came in the 325HP version in full size Chevy's

SO.... my dream would be to build that motor for the car, it would be a natural D/S car, heavy E/S (4200 lbs) , using the aluminum Edelbrock heads maybe could be light enough for C/S !

I am assuming I could use a Automatic in the car now with that motor, but maybe put the Jerico in! 7500 RPM launches in the big ole Chevy! The car is built to run a stick like my 68 was.

Not too sure it would be competitive, but damn fun.

I have my dream car. I bought it when I was 13 and still race it today.

However is money was no object it would be fun to build a SS/AM 67 Fairlane. I Always loved watching Tom Huggins 69 Camaro AM car back in the 90's

I'd would want this back in it's SS/AX trim!
That and any of the cars mentioned earlier! Even the new Factory Stockers. Of course I would get a driver for the real races. I think that I know one close....

Old School: Can't decide between a Boss 429 Mustang for A/S, Boss 302 Mustang for F/S, 68 Cougar GT-E 427 for C/S, or 67 Shelby GT-500 for A/S. If I had to pick one, maybe a '69 Boss 302 in Calypso Coral just like my dad's!

Nick, unfortunately, the 68 GTE Cougar 427 is automatic only. I think the Boss 302 would be a cool, but pricey build, funny that the Boss 302 came with a larger carb than the Boss 429!

Don't make the mistake I did of building it from scratch. going to have to dip in the 401K to finish it.

the 428 would be my choice if doing a 68 GTE. they built 37 of them with 428's and 3 of those were 4 speeds. All 357 built with the 427 were automatics.
