Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

If I were 20 years younger I would build a 1962 Pontiac Tempest 115 hp 4 cylinder for W/SA. No cylinder head specs.,no carb specs, no piston specs..

Hi Bob! The local junkyard has 2! One's a convertible!

Billy, you are still a young man. I wish you would build one. 195 c.i. 4 cyl..

So, is the GM 3800 a dead deal?
Don't see much for parts for any V6 anymore.

could a 2009/10 challenger with the 300 hp 345 cu and an auto be made competitive in Fto H stock not cheap but neat car .

This the polar opposite of cheap. I am partners on a build nearing completion as it was a one off build.

Was looking at Buicks and didn't see anything newer than '99 listed...
Idle curiosity...

No specs on a 2010 dodge Charger with a 3.5L V6. Bet that would be in the "T/SA" area. Start it off at 170 hp.
