I guess it goes to prove the old point. It's not the parts that make the car go fast, it is the combination.

Way to go Monty!

Chris is right. kinda  Wink it cost's money to go fast no matter what . and the best way to save money and get the best result's is consult a professional engine builder or search the net for some proven combo's and getting into the 7's in a 3000LB chevy should be cheap and easy

I know they can, I had a dished piston 400, stock crank and rods, 194 heads cut for 202 valves, 500 lift solid cam, performer intake, etc. Stock converter with a t-350 trans in a 3800lb station wagon that would run low 7's. Anyone remeber it?

Didn't that motor end up in a malibu that Joe out at 62 bought?  I think that wagon ended up out there also.....that was the only car that could put a fender into the air higher than my Olds.....that car would leave!!!!

That car was allot of fun. The engine started out in a 56 ford pu, then a 78 Malibu, then the wagon, then back in the Malibu. I bet that engine had over 1000 nitrous passes. I bought a nitrous pump and kept 2 big bottles around so I wouldnt have to make trips to Lawton all the time. I broke the drive shaft in the Malibu at the finish line in a street race, tore the trans, exhaust, and floor out of the car. I got anthor trans and sold it to Jim at 62, who then sold it to Joe. Joe drove it to Lawton from Olustee, ran 7:40's, drove it home. He later sold it to Jerry, he sold it to Ben Wiggley. It wound up with fat tires and bracket racing with a bb in it. It is still around, owned by someone at a pawn shop. Jim bought the wagon, was going to bracket race it, decided it was just too ugly, pulled the rear end and built another Malibu. The wagon had electric windows, door locks, seats, tlt wheel, disc brakes, etc. After all of that stuff was pulle, it found its way into the crusher.

Great history.

I always hate to see anything crushed though.

Chris

Probably why I never sell anything.
