Pullin a wheelie!
ok, here's the deal. my goal with my car is to pull a wheelie. plain and simple. now i know it may seem childish or whatever to some of you. but the way i see it is, that's what these cars are all about, having fun and creating lots of power. and to me, pulling a wheelie is fun and shows the power. now i'm not talkin pullin crazy 5ft wheelies. i just wanna get the front wheels of the ground. whether it's 2 inches or 5ft. now i'm wondering what you guys think i'm gonna need. i've got a 72 nova, with a 250 straight six and 3 on the tree(for now). i'm porbly gonna go with a 454 block as starting point, although i can get my hands on a complete tri-power 427. i know the main thing is hookin up, but what kind of power do you think i'm lookin to aim for? do you think i can do this on somewhat of a budget or am i gonna need 3 thousand dollar heads, 500 dollar intake, and 700 carb, and all sorts of crazy exotic parts.
Your positive feedback will be greatly appreciated.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
