Hey guys anny one hear have anny good tips on racing a old poly?

I did one a few years back for my 1965 Coronet 4 door, bored .030 over with a 4.00 crank 390ci reground the stock cam
TTI headers
two 500 Edy carbs
slightly ported heads

with 3.91 gear and a set of 26" BFG drag radial ran 13.90 @100 with the tranny not shifting till you let off, and the carbs wer a mess, tuned er up now and lookin for 12s
weight 3900 lbs

I hear thay make new cams now? annyone hear the same?

Im also lookin for a Weiand dual 4bbl intake for it, I already have the cast iron one.

Anny tips or tricks would help.

I will check my computor at home ane see if I still have any poly stuff on it. I sold my old poly Six-Pack set up last year.

Can't help you with the intake but here's a link that has some good info.

i saw a stroker kit for poly. can't remember where- sorry.

There's a very active Poly board on Yahoo Groups.

That yahoo group IS indeed quite active. I think some of those guys are working on getting a REpop done on an alum 4 bbl intake.

I assume you have headers if not get them as the exhaust is that engines biggest weak point. A good 2.25 is also a plus why not 2.5 the heads unless they are ported will not take advantage of the increase in flow in many cases

I spy headers in that pic so that part is set for you. I really think with some tuneing and weight loss (3900 is very heavy)you can run mid 11s with little changes.

13.90 is a good time for your Poly; yes, let us know when you reach the 12's and embarrass a brand X competitor at the track.

I am working on Phase II of my Poly Stroker; Poly Tunnel Ram, Poly Roller Cam...other internal mods.

Let me know if I can share any data/tech/information or parts for the Poly - cams, pistons, stainless oversize valves, gasket sets...anything you need.

Take care and keep the Poly fires lit.
