Lee,
I like your street rod!! My 1st "new" car was a 66 Pontiac 2 + 2, 421 HO. A lead sled, but factory under rated at 376 HP, and it would blow the doors off all but a Judge on the street. Had very rare tri-power carbs, the center 2 barrel was same big size as the other 2. Standard set up was 2 large and the center small for gas mileage. A low production hi $ collectors car today.

That Nailhead has stump-pulling torque (of course straight linkage dual quads, a ridiculously big cam, and 12.5 to 1 fists don't hurt). And like a drag car, it loves putting air under the front tires. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Jayhawker....I'm sure you do wish you still had it. Those old 421 H.O.s were one hell of an engine. -Lee www.singleactions.com |

Lee: what you got running in the 9 sec range?  Just a back-half Nova with a stroked 15:1 SBC on alcohol. -Lee www.singleactions.comThat Nova looks downright mean. All business with that stance. Why are the wheelie bars set so high though? |

Thanks. The car has 5.43 cogs out back and wheelstands hard. We welded the bars on, tried various positions, and watched our 60 foots increase (went from 1.30 - 1.31's w/o bars to high 1.30's with). Being a back-half car it really wants to ride on the back tires to hook. -Lee www.singleactions.com |
