Any thoughts or plans with it and going up to SS or venturing out into maybe a 10.5 tire class? My dream was to have my old 69 as a 10.5 car with a model LS, 1XXmm turbo, glide on a brake. Also was looking into keeping it leaf with Cal-tracs split monos and sliders. I think the suspension would hold it with the new MT drag radials.. But unfortunately Ill probably never find out..

Thanks,

As nice as the 69 is, the 70 is kind of special, at least in my opinion, cause there are not too many out there. I had thought about moving it up to Super Stock, but to be honest, it would take a whole pile of money, not only for all the car updates, but also the engine. Unfortunately, I have a filet steak appetite, with a hot dog style budget. I have just built a new aluminum headed 402 and the car can be light enough to run A/SA, so I guess, I could always move it to SS/EA or SS/FA just the way it sits, I just would not be competitive as far as running another in-class car, like a real Super Stocker since it would be a heads-up race.

It would appear that you have a really nice selection of cars to choose from and I have been amazed at how well the Cal-Tracs preform. I did get a chance to run the 70 with the new engine locally and it managed a 1.28 sixty on its second full pass and I would guess that there is more potential after a bunch more runs.

Good Luck on your project, if you decide to do it.
