Re: ?'s about Yenko Duece
Ok guys heres the program. Im putting together a LT-1, 70 Nova to go playing at the PSMCDR drag race in Stanton Michigan this fall. Its not gonna be passed off as a "YENKO", or even a Yenko clone and isnt even painted a Yenko color, its white. Ive raced small blocks for years (im almost 60!!) and think it would be a blast to show how fast a small block car could go if it were ordered "correctly". Current rules allow cars to race if they are same as to what was assembly line available at the time, right pulleys, right carb, right casting #s on intake, heads, exhaust manifolds, right stall speed, etc. Thats it guys. Im gonna take this car out and hammer on it like most people wouldnt want to do with an original. I would appreciate your help to make it as correct as possible and dont wish to step on toes in doing so...thanks J.B.

Re: ?'s about Yenko Duece
The Yenko Deuce was pretty close to a 70 Z/28 in a base Nova body. You may want to try Mad Mike's site. There are some very knowledgeable 70 Z/28 guys over there. Where has Marlin been? Have not seen any posts from him in a while.

Re: ?'s about Yenko Duece
I guess that we have all been missing Marlin's input here. Like so many guys here, Marlin is more of a car enthusiast than a computer enthusiast. He mentioned that he does not even have a computer at home, and that he was depending on using one at work to talk here. And he also mentioned that might change jobs. So that may be why he is not posting lately.
