Re: 1972 Maverick Sprint
I believe for your setup, a 600 should work great. My 350 Vette ran 14.11 at 99mph with a 650 carb, and I ran the same carb on a slightly more mild 400 small block. If your 302 was HIGH compression, then I think a 650 would make more sense. I saw an 8" posi unit with 3.50 gears at the Canfield ...

Just a different type of enjoyment! I do like four wheelers too, but I can only have so many toys... and time...

Re: 1972 Maverick Sprint
I really love the way it turned out! Maybe someday I'll have the time to put into making a car look that good. I think it would be fun learning and doing.
I love that vintage car too. Just barely past the muscle car prime. IMO, there's a lot of really cool cars that came after '71.

Re: TRP - September 2010
32V is right, I went 15.71 on a breakout in the 3rd round. The best run was my 2nd round win against the Reher Morrison powered rear engine rail. He was dialed in at 8.25 and I was dialed in at 15.75. I cut an .07 light to his .02 light (I'm quite certain he was running a box) and I ran a 15.76 to h...
Re: Impala SS
Except for under HARD breaking and turning, I'd have a real hard time believing any factory front driver would show anything but understeer or somewhat neutral tendencies. Then plunk a V8 WAY up front... I do agree that a bigger front sway bar would go a long way. If you do that and get a good set o...

Re: Cadillac
The picture is great. It looks like a bolt in. I put the word out with a lot of people at work today (car guy customers) too.

Re: Cadillac
That Olds rearend looks like the one with the same LOW shock mounts and WIDE upper control arm mounts. I'm probably not driving to NH to get one, and I still need to measure the width, just to be sure. Somehow the Impala, Bonneville, Lesabre are smaller. These are only for the real ocean-liners. The...
Re: Cadillac
This isn't an a-body so that doesn't apply here, it's a b-body. This would be only the FULL size stuff like the Electra 225, Olds 98, and the Caddy. I searched all night for a picture of a rearend out of the Buick or Olds, with no luck. I think I'll take a trip to the local yard after work tomorrow ...
Re: Cadillac
So after an all day session with 32V, the new transmission is in the car and seems to be fine. But while running the trans through its paces on the jackstands, I came to the sad realization that the noise I was hearing was not a broken transmission afterall. While it was idling in gear, I put my lon...

Re: 74 Plymouth Road Runner
I'd guess somewhere in the $8-$9k range, unless it's some sort of show car.
