My, how soon it got from white stripes on xts to headers and slicks.
You have in this thread, done exactly what would have happened "in the day".
The car started out with pollution pump/manifolds/stock exhaust.= not breathing robbing hp weight, got beat by a mopar, HEADERS!
Came home with dog dishs, whitewalls, 7in rims. Got called an oldman for the whitewalls, could'nt get enough traction with the 7in rims and whitewalls, got beat by a mustang. 8in. CRAGARS,MICKEY THOMPSENS.
Next comes slapper bars, and suspension mods, and engine modifications.
Congratulations gentlemen, you're now beginning to get the feel of how it was,"in the day"
Been there, done that, still doing it. Schonye [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Schoney, right on! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] I too, been there, done that. But, a lot more fun this time. Then was a '66 Chevelle convertible with a 283/PG. Now 427 cubic inches wedged in a Camaro, Nova and some day, Chevelle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Does this mean you are taking Marlin up on his challenge? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

1968 Camaro, L-88 short block from Yenko Chevy, headers, 4:88 gears, traction bars, 10 1/2 M&H slicks= consistent 11.5s at 126 mph (never beaten by a mopar or ford) Not bad for 1969 technoligy!

Tom, I promised Rob last year that we would be there and was'nt able to keep the promise. We have a few family health issues so I won't promise, but will try. If we do, expect Cronkleton, Ericksen deuce, and Engler,Fencil Tufo deuce, and my Cliff Peck deuce. Two will race, and maybe all three. Again we HOPE it works out.
Also planning on helping Clint with the Vitar COPO. We've been kicking around some motor combos that would be appropriate for the car. Not quite sure yet.
Tom B. I was expressing a thought process with my previous post, not me personally.
Only time I lost to a mopar was when I took off my air cleaner and sucked the gasket down the carb and stuck it open.
Never lost to a mustang.
We don't trash talk. If the cars runnin right we'll put you on the trailer. If not we've had a good time anyway. Schonye

Schonye, No problem. I totally understand about conflicts.

Would be unreal if we ended up with a half-dozen, or more, Yenko Deuces at the track. You all could have your own little "bracket".

The Vitar COPO ought to be a neat piece when finished. Clint and I visited at length about it a few days ago. I am looking forward to seeing it run at SCR7.

I'll stick to racing other deuces, no sense letting my keyboard type a check that my LT1 can't cash [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Although, my brand new set of Doug Thorley's might need to be utilized if the Iowa boys come!

I keep thinking that if all this talk of Deuces racing and such, that a certain silver LT-1 Nova from the great white north might throw his hat into the ring! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
