Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

I just want to get down the track, and eventually under the index. To do it in something nobody else runs is extra incentive for me.

It's odd to me that the 78 is 300lbs lighter in shipping weight than the 77 or 79, maybe an error?

WOW! Could it be that someone in the "Ivory Tower" is reading Classracer?!?
Noooo...... it can't be. A real Racer must have brought it to someones attention.
Especially a super popular combo like that!
Or maybe it was just on the "to do" list for 40 years.

Hmmm...wonder how that happened...

Yeah, but in typical fashion, it was only half corrected. They fixed the Caprice and missed the Impala 2dr and 4dr.

I forgot to mention the Impala...my bad.

Since our bench racing season appears to be extended indefinitely - I think we need to bump this thread to the top and have some fun!

Maybe we could start with the V/SA combo that last set the record. Should be competitive with the 302 Fords both cost and performance wise.

Jim, you're going to have to refresh my memory on this one. Was it your combo or the Super6?

I just figured that you, Mark, or Dwight had a few ideas saved for a rainy day. If nothing else, I thought this thread would make for good reading/inspiration for those who haven't seen it yet.

Most of the combos in this thread are still untouched. The '82 Mustang/Capri is still at 157hp (less than some of the other 302 2-bbls that have been hit). The '79 Mustang/Capri is still at 143hp. If you're a GM fan, all of those 305 2bbls are still at 180hp, and I've seen a few run well. There are dozens of different ways you could build one - I think they would all be fun!

My two favorites are still the '85 Lincoln and the '96-'98 Mustang V6 (I know Will Lamprecht is working on one!).

I talked to Lee Tuttle in the staging lanes at the Baby Gators. I was very impressed with his 305 2bbl Camaro. A second under in R/SA!
