It is easy to forget that these are supposed to be FUN.
That is what I built mine for.
Good luck and be safe.

You got me thinking about low buck combo's . When my son BJ fist started drag racing he bought an old RED from a friend of ours really cheap . It needed a lot of work and we did it in my garage over the winter . A friend of ours gave us a short block 327 block .030 over small journal 283 crank and small journal rods ! I had an old set of 461 heads that we did a valve job on . a roller cam from a stock car and some swap meet rockers ,intake and carb a 750 . I found a used shorty kit and brake and a well used Fairbanks converter that my buddy Lenny from Ultimate Converters fixed up . I don't think there was 1 new part on that car . Bj raced that car for 2 seasons and had a blast with it ! WE would go to the big buck bracket races at Atco and go a lot of rounds with it ! The car was deadly consistent and more than once we got down to 5 cars in a 10,000 dollar race ! It wasn't the fastest It ran 9 1s at around 145 but it sure was fun

Have thought about building one of my old small blocks up and having some fun. Have cpl 327's,3-283 and 4 350's that are taking up room. Would be fun to just build one up do some head work on factory heads and put in decent liittle cam and go run the crap out of it. Biggest cost would be machine work and some 15x10 wheels with slicks. Man you guys are bad influance.
Something about those old smallblocks that just fun.
Might just have to give it a try after I get car running and tuned out with Hemi. Have a fast motor and a lets just play and if it brakes so what motor
