tell ya what. give me a 235 with a 4 barrel clifford intake, and headers, hotter coil, and lighter vacuum advance springs, and bring yer 283 on! gimme a 292 set up the same way and make it a 350! near the end of a 1/4 mile you ought to be gaining on me, but not enough!
se if you guys can find a link to "spears and hamilton" who ran an opel g.t. in the 70's with a 292 in it. i think it ran the I-gas class. lot's of people hated the thing, and for good reason. they saw alittle more of the back of an opel than they wanted to. this country never put the time or effort into inline engines necessary to really make them into what they could have been. it took the japs and 4 bangers to do that. (too bad really). guess i'll hear about THAT remark!
the thing is--i have raced on and off the street as a kid, and believe in 6 bangers. i still do.
why else be here?
