I'm diggin idea #1. Keep steel wheels on it and the flat hood. Ive always thought it would be cool to have a fast wagon sleeper like that. And i would do it with a stroker small block so u could tell people...."Its just a 318"! But thats just me....


everybody knows that they came with 273 C.I L.A. motor, all of my motors are smaller C.I. when it comes to racing, especially buddys cars

A B motor fits in there easier than a small block. Trans fits on the original ctossmember. (built a 62 Lancer) The Golden Lancer Drove it on the street and it ran 10:40 all day long nothing special . was a 470 with a set of sr heads and a small roller in it with 4:30 gear and 727 Should of kept it Its in Carlsbad Calif. now




So, you are saying a B engine is smaller than a LA ?

<--- Never measured that ?

The bling-free idea works for me: steelies, looking as stock & unassuming as it can and still run your target ET/MPH.
I'd lean towards a stroker SB, 904, not too much gear, cleaned up enough to be presentable but as original/unrestored as practical, subframe ties and put some brakes on it for that short top-end.
You could letter it with a sponsor: BigDad's Bikini Bar...Bigdad's Tople$$ Club...the driver's name could be "Daffy Duck"...maybe even his likeness on the tailgate...ah, but I digress...:)

I have two fairly cool names for the car if I lettered it in mind

And a creative driver name already too

He's up my way here

How quick do you need to be to slip past your buddies
S-10.... will you need a roll bar or chassis...
start from that point... then determine what you
will need for a engine...for a trans I'm going with
a 518 OD but without the lock up and using one of
my race 8" converters... that way I get get the revs
down on the road but still have a launch

I can't catch the S-10

Its a SBC 434 with a 300 shot

Runs 5.80's

But, I hate going to the track by myself so I only like to go when someone else is there

I myself am building to go 10.2 - 10.3 and drive it
on the road... whats the weight on that... I use to
have one back when I was in school(was a /6 but I

No, for this car is a simple kind of street car with a little bite

Like I said, some of the places the Vintage guys run well ..

Just a toy , mostly chebbies at these things

55, 57's

Bingo, looked for it could not find it

But, two things

It destroys the sleeper idea
and driving it to and from the track

well ...

The idea is to drive it there, not all the time but some of the time

So, I'm torn
I'd love to make a tribute car

Go tribute way but maybe kinda in the way of the fast guys. Stock looking small block maybe even with a set of 273 finned valve covers. motor painted red. ten inch tires on steelies. gotta be white though. forget the gas bottle too.
