liz, i don't know how to get it through to phil, matt, or ty that this isn't a test adn tune. these are competitive classes. to have competiton and keep it fair to all involved you need rules.
if they are interested in diving into competition and makign anything worth whiel happen they really need to look further into competition than jsut saying they want to be in one.

hmm, maybe a $50 set of junkyard 3.73's can add to the fun as well
why bother setting lash, on the third launch it will just set itself. lol

napolean(sp?) doesn't have anything laying around?

i will keep an eye out for you. i may know of a car, but most rollers go for a good bit more than the $50 you were gonna pay. expect 200-400 to be more common pricing.

wanna take a cruise to teh yards in the monring? maybe they have something there that will fit the bill

Sounds like things are actually rolling together into something tangible.
What extension housing do you have on the th350? If you want to use a stock 3rd gen driveshaft you'll need to use the 9". If you have access to a driveshaft shop then ignore me .
Just curious, why the poncho motor? You could sell it and do a homebrew junkyard wars style 350... then the trans wouldn't bolt up, hmm... nevermind, I'm just interested so keep the updates coming.

So why not get a used cheap gutted Firebird instead of a camaro . Then you won't be a bastard, you'd just be making a statement :P . Not that it really matters but I can honestly say I haven't seen a thirdgen firebird with a poncho motor!

Always thought third gen fbirds are lighter, but you will have more hood clearance with the Camaro.
Gotta find that 1982 Iron Duke, 4spd manual, no options Camaro out in the world...

Yeah, my car is one of the quietest thirdgens as far as rattles but the floor pan is rotting out. I also added a stereo and the car's weight was only 3550 with me, that was with a/c and beefy suspension upgrades. The only weight reduction I had done to my car at the time was a hollow sway bar up front. Everything else I did added weight. Now's a different story.
Anyways, I'd still go for an earlier thirdgen because it'll be closer to the 25yr "classic". I've always seen a thirdgens in the j-yards when I've gone. I need to make a trip again to see the new stock. 2 years ago I found an awesome roller thirdgen. It was a firebird with 6-point cage and a Ford 12-bolt minus carrier but had axles and c-clip eliminators all intact. If I had room for it I'd have bought it, oh well.
How much are you guys looking to spend on the roller car? And do you need a clean title or is a salvage yard title cool? Do you even need a title if it's a track only car?
