    Exactly
    If you get it,What about a short tire big gear and no tranny? Clutch only, should be light enough so you wouldn't have to have a killer motor just a big stroke!!

    I sure do love the sound of the old cars, lots of races won by who was the best on the stick!!! Those who say you can't be consistent with a manual trans were never around to watch some of these cars.... Good SuperStocker and Gasser drivers ran within a hundreth or two of their qualifying time all day long.... And man, those little motors staying up in the revs all the way through the 1/4!!!! Even in the late 60's the B/SS Mopar I drove had to be within .020 of index to evern be competitive, and you'd better be on index to be a winner...all day long....

    Nope, not the 'maro... Though it is for sale as is or "will build to suit new tenant" type of deal... This would be a trade for a different car I own, some parts, and who knows what..... Heck, that's why tradin' is so much fun!!!!!
