70 COPO

I agree, leave the headers on. I think I've mentioned this before but a friend on mine has a bone stock, never opened, stock cam,intake,carb etc. 1970 LT-1 out of a '70 Z-28 that was wrecked very early in it's life. He's had this motor for like over 30 years in his Corvette. He recently yanked it out and put the engine into his son's '69 Camaro with a four speed, 4.11's, and some small nine inch slicks. The car runs 12:30's and this motor is even a little tired after so many years of street driving. Those times say alot about the performance potential of that engine. That's Rat motor territory!

Marlin,

How's the deuce setup? Stock w or wo headers, cam etc?

I need to check the build sheet and see what rear is in mine.

Wouldn't a tall spoiler car be slower than a short spoiler car due to the added wind resistance at high speeds?

Stock - GM blueprint cam, carb, intake, TRW pistons, orig. rods & crank, etc..., no headers, no traction bars (will add spring clamps after the Nationals), original leaf springs, original front coil springs, and some standard Pep Boys shocks - no drag shocks, no super stock springs, no lightweight stuff in the trans or rear or anything, and E70x14 whitewalls! (and the correct, original style battery - not a hollowed out job!).

LT1, M21, and 4.10's

Rich,

Most cool! Gotta love the LOS cars. Build sheets are great.

3.73 is just like mine. Based upon the road test data from 1970- Even with a nearly perfect reaction time your 1320 ET's (stock with a 3.73 gear) are gonna be likely only Mid 14's..

Rich I gotta tell you If you decude to run it - a couple of passes at a local strip in your area will tell you for sure!

Ok Marlin how much would you be willing give up to even the race?? How about leaving the headers on the Z??

Yea, this year I will have time to work on my own instead of yours

First a water pump, then fouled plugs last year

Just Funnin, but I believe that it's all in the driving - once JJ slammed down a 13.8x in your Deuce, you knew it was in there - and just drove it out. Not sure I'm willing to push mine too hard with the original drivetrain, but it sure is fun, even if I lose

14's is just fine for a 3.73 geared car, with these tires it's a driver's race anyway. I would leave the headers on, it'll give me an excuse
