Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
How about a 77-79 Camaro or some Firebirds With a 305 2V? Watch your shipping wts. and you can make U/S! Got to be plenty of them and Novas around for not big bucks.

Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
As evident I must like a "slow" V-8 Stick car as much as anyone. Given that if you try to do one on a budget it will be a parts eater. Unless you find something really light or horribly underfactored like a 302 FFFFord. The fox body 5.0 guys throw away good 8.8 rear ends too.

Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
I have a 64 Chevy II four door runs and drives V8 glide, you have to find the 4 banger. It is purdy ugly, someone painted it with a brush. All I what is engine, yes it is a 721 block. Make me a offer. Class Racer were dreams come true. Tom

Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
Any love for the 82 Firebird or Camaro with the 2.5L 4 cylinder? Hard to find, but I have seen a couple around in the last few years.

It would probably be fun with a stick but even with an automatic I doubt that it would be cheap.

Re: Dime Rocket Fantasy
you are going to have to run a SD block and a really good crank and not sure if its an Integral or crossflow head PLUS lots of tricks to make one make power as well as stay together--not a lot of "speed" parts out there anymore unless you can find a sprint car guy that has stuff--FED 387
