New guy looking to build a Stock eliminator

Oh yeah, good luck, it's much harder than anything you have ever done before and it's addictive. Money will flow like lava.

I made up a cage for a 70 Cuda last year. Happens to be a 440 4bbl running D/SA. Chromoly saves weight. Has to be tig welded.

Turbo… Have a look in the Race Car Classifieds. A new listing that has been on Facebook has finally made it to ClassRacer. It's your "Dream Come True". MB

The 383 combos may be worth looking at as well, 330hp with AVS @ 295, 335hp with Holley @ 300

I was going to recommend that car. Pricey, but looks very well done.

Before you spend money I would suggest you read and understand the AHFS before you spend. Please do the math and see how many years it took to remove the 43 hp off of the 440/375 now at 332. If you need hard parts like heads I have a few and other stuff. Good Luck.

Mike,
I admire your courage. Be careful of what you wish for.

My stubbornness will get me through, I have been wanting to do this for a long time. Now I have the benefit of experience that everyone here has brought to the table. Thank you all who have commented...I am a sponge now

Mike this is code for don't eff my combo up! Lol Just kidding with you but people like Larry and Jack Zimmerman would be very good people to get in touch with and keep on speed dial. Good luck with your build and welcome to the chaos of class racing.
