I have always wanted a Max wedge car and have been collecting parts to build my 63 savoy to run in the pure stock muscle car drags. Only problem is, there is none of that type of racing going on in Texas. So i would have to tow to Michigan to get to race the car in a race the car was actually built for. I am excited to find the IHRA pure stock venue as the mods allowed to the cars are minimal and the index in A/ps is 12.05. Should be able to run 4-5 tents under with no problem and still only make a few changes to the car to race in the stock tire races or the IHRA pure stock. Just wondering if anyone else had considered it. Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

I don't want to hack up the car, but I'll have to figure out how to install a driveshaft hoop without hacking up the floorpan. I have another 340 on the engine stand with TRW replacement pistons. Just a cam change and I should be good to go there. I'll probably switch over from the 4-speed to a 727. I have a 9" converter that might work pretty well for PS. Floyd Lippencott IV

Use one of the loops that use the four bolts that attach the tranny cross member. No holes in floor pan. I think us car tool.

But it seems that I'm always building new homes, remodeling a home, moving and or changing jobs. Stocker/cheater cam, headers with high flow mufflers look like a do-able way to run the softer indexes. Stock spec valve spring is a weak spot for some set- ups imo. Lack of notched pistons could be a problem for some set-ups also. Some day, maybe some day, I'll get time to run some thing.

Stepped head pipes and x pipe leading to dumps. The Index for A/ps is 12.05. Jeff petersons stock tire max wedge fury has run that fast with manifolds and through mufflers on poly glass tires.

I'm a huge fan of pure stock type racing. I have a 440 sixpack superbee that is set up to run in factory type racing with bias tires. I've talked to Jeff Peterson about it and he says there's a group of guys that run a good grudge match type racing in Dallas once a month. IHRA Pure Stock??? I'll have to look into it, sounds like fun. Juan (jayala54@hotmail.com)

Thin shims under the rocker shaft will let the lifters extend so you can run the engine to higher rpm if you want to. July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P. Jimmie.

I've seen Jeff Peterson with his black max wedge car several times at the Stanton Michigan PSMCDR over the last 10 years or so. Nice guy. July 19th should be "Drive Like Rockford Day". R.I.P.
