Found a hilarious combo:

[ALMACK]

I looked at that van combo years ago.

The 1991 351W combo looks like a natural Q or R/SA.
Bunch of different ways you can go with a van.

The 1992 models with a 351W has a natural P/SA combo.
Somehow, I believe pushing a brick like that to a 13.45 @ 4,010 lbs. might be a struggle

Hope this is a joke..as in hilarious.
I suppose it would give new meaning to the idea of "putting a wheel on somebody".
As far as driver position , I can think of much better "vehicles".
Oh, I don't know. Maybe something like a ...Corvette?

The funniest part of this, is that those things didn't end up in the classification guides on their own- somebody had to have petitioned NHRA to include them.

And the humor aspect of it is more interesting than the viability aspect of it, but if it was an advantageous combo, I absolutely would consider it. Of course, anything that you and Billy agree on, I would consider.

Well at least it's aerodynamic...

Lol.

I think Mark (and others) have already covered that...

You could big mural on the side. 70's style. Also would make a great sponsorship billboard.

NHRA might need to be in on any murals or advertising....

"Transcon Medi-Vac" livery would be more likely.

Yeah, I think it might be easier to make index as a "V" car, simply because it wouldn't have to push that frontal area at as high a speed as an "O" car.

But the 300(4.9) EFI inline 6 is factored 40 horsepower above Ford's claimed horsepower. The 302(5.0) and 351W(5.8) EFI engines are only factored 30 horsepower above Ford's claimed horsepower, and are better-supported by the aftermarket.

On the plus side, you can pretty much get the things for free, and you can sleep four in your race car at the track.

On the serious side --- this combo offers the worst front / rear weight distribution AND the worst aero that I can imagine!!! So you can be slowest in 60 feet and at the finish line!!! Makes my Comanche look like a rocket ship!!

1051 R/SA
