Mods
GM 602 Crate, 4 barrel Holley 650 paired with a 3 speed Saginaw, putting the power to the ground through a ford 9” rear end, and a 6:1 steering quickener with an IROC box to get her to turn left. Hoosier G60s, running off of a mix of 100 leaded AV, and 91 Octane gas.
Build story
As much as I’d love for this build to be street legal, she’s not. Dirt track ovals are her expertise. Starting my racing career a few years ago behind the wheel of a couple outright minty 4 banging rice makers, I found myself sucked into this money pit of a sport. After a couple years of jammin Japanese cars into walls, I wanted a big boy toy. Got myself a Sport Modified Chassis. The car starts as a Monte Carlo sub frame, and is tube chassis the rest of the way back. Started as a pretty bare chassis car, blew the first v8 I had in her the first night. Put a shitty v8 in for a while to get the hang of the car, then found myself antsy for some more juice so I bought a much faster, slightly illegal v8. (Rules say I can run maximum 360, put a 383 in her) Ran the 383 for a while, found myself wanting even more power so I pulled some strings and got a hold of a GM 602 crate. Currently sitting in the car with approx. 350-400hp. Throughout my motor journey I blew a 2 speed power glide in half and switched to a 3 speed Saginaw with a clutch as tight as your mother’s ass. The car sits right now with the crate engine and the Saginaw waiting for oh so lovely Newsom to tell me I can go sling mud again. This build took a lot of time and effort as I was building it while in high school. Lots of weekends and summers have gone into this car. She might be a little too prissy for the minty category but good ol’ zip ties and bias plies has been my favorite YouTuber for years. Hope he has the chance to take a peek at this minty project. Thank you guys for putting this on!
