Handy,

There were some nasty high compression, solid lifter, double hump headed 283s out there. My brother had one in a Chevelle that would haul ***. Since we already have a weight advantage, we should stay close to stock.

Looking forward to seeing a Vega in it or even a Sunbird.

Glass is probably right. My T5'a 2nd gear syncro is toast.

 

oh and look some dusty old fuelies in the garage!

 

You do realize that the Ford T5 is pretty much the same as the GM T5?

 

The hard part will be finding the car...even a fiero would do! I only run solids though. love em! not rollers even.

 

Old school all the way. I put a $45 ebay holley on mine with a $27 84 Mustang GT dual plane intake and an old Duraspark ignition.

Solid lifters will rev to the moon.

 

exactly. There you go. I think I have an old msd here somewhere too but ill prob run a th 350. I have a 2200 stall still new from way back. will need vic jr and 700-750 carb too.

 

Lol I'm really just in it to beat Sean. But the more the merrier

 

No boring that **** out to 4" either! 283's can be pretty sweet

 

Dam hammer at least u have a car.

 

I have a 468 block. Maybe I can swap it for a 283 short block.

 

Remember these are supposed to be true street driven cars, and not "street cars". Not a bunch of gutted junk because Sean and I aren't willing to destroy our cars.

 

all stock. I know.

 

And when it comes to the short block follow stock eliminator guidelines. No hogging out a 283 to make a 302.

 

You could bet me v hammer, doesn't have to be overall winner, which will still be me - but still.

 

Im going to try and run some 570 lift blue springs I have with the fulie's.

 

Exactly, and if I see a video of someone's race car that they call a street car, I think we should be able to DQ them. The purpose is to have comfy stock cars that have motor work done to the stock short block. No gutting, nitrous, anything other than max 93 octane gas...the point isn't to find loopholes in this challenge.

 

should be interesting ford ford chevy chevy. I'd vote for the two chevys Ha!
But u f guys are so light.

 

Find an 82-83 fbody. They were the lightest. You could still use a 283.

 

The displacement isn't as big of a deal as the solid cam is. Solid cam grinds start radical and get nasty.

 

Complete stock eliminator rules for motor swapped guys!
