That caught my-eye, too..... I believe the 'shown' CR on the L83/Cross-Fire is 9.2:1 w/ 76cc heads: when I ran the numbers using an L83 short-block, I recall getting about 10.3 w/ 64cc heads, and 10.9 w/ 58cc ZZ4/L98 heads, 'if' the 9.2:1 figure is correct.

in the State of New Jersey, the DMV/DoT/whatever-it-is-called-there has jurisdiction over all motorsports in the state, not the presiding sanctioning body, in this case NHRA, and tracks in NJ have some of the strictest rules of any tracks in America, which could be enforced by the NJSP: an...

When I had intentions of turning my '82 into a bracket-racer, I considered the C3-Stinger hood from Ecklers, with a stripe that matched the interior (Dark Red on my Black exterior), that could've been made functional...

Once you remove the distributor (which I don't think would-be compatible without the computer) and intake manifold with injectors, it is a simple small-block Chevy that will respond to any changes you make: I hope that in the near future I'll be able to replace my Cross-Fire induction with an...

..... in late '78, I bought a brand-new '79 Z28 off the showroom floor, and began modifying it for better performance at the drag-strip: 2 buddies from high-school (Class of '77) also bought new Z28s, one a stick-shift '78, the other an automatic '80, but refused to modify them, fearing they'd...

My fiancee..... no-offense taken! :beer

I'm not so-sure that is exactly-correct, as I have seen an '82 with Dark Blue leather, and I own an '82 with Dark Red leather.

I have a buddy, whose low-mile '80 L-48 wiped-out a lobe on the OEM cam last year, so while it was being repaired, he added vortec heads & an RPM Air Gap intake from SDP, headers, Holley 670 cfm Street Avenger carb, and a CompCams 270H (after the initial choice, an XE268, wiped-out IT'S lobes on...

Mopar Drag City..... it's GONE!!!!! http://www.pe.com/localnews/rivcounty/stories/PE_News_Local_B_bdrag29.33ba516.html

[Richard Dawson] "..... survey-says..... NUMBER ONE ANSWER on the board, Darlin' !!!!!" [/Richard Dawson] Jet-Hotting a set of exhaust headers is the best economical-move you'll make if you plan-on keeping the car any significant length of time: I had headers (and wing-struts, front...

http://www.maxchevy.com/features/2008/iii_1-snoke-1.html Granted, this is a 400/406 CID SBC, that can probably better-use the 206 cc intake port (the GMPP catalog lists these heads as having a 215 cc port? ), but I'd think a 350/355/383 CID SBC, using a matching canshaft profile, intake and...

I can't imagine sales going-up, directly-related to Kahne..... ;shrug for several years, when we attend NHRA National Events, Budweiser jackets are by-far the most-popular to be worn by fans (and they ain't rootin' for Brandon Bernstein..... ): how-long until the bleachers are full of Pale...

I got a call about 5:00 this afternoon from a buddy who can get his hands-on 2 sets of tickets for face-value ($87.50 and $125.00 ): neither he nor I can go this year, but he says there are plenty of tix availble closer to Daytona (he is in Deltona )

I'm half-way between Tampa & Orlando, and both print-media and TV are advertising that tix are available.

:nono ..... you would be wrong..... I 'may' watch Daytona (and the other plate-races because of the strategy & finesse-involved ), simply because it IS Daytona, but that is only-if my fiancee is working, or if it is raining here, and I have nothing-else to-do (but I ain't gonna watch 3 hours of...

In June '07, Chevrolet High Performance magazine took the 290 HP crate-motor (which actually made 315 HP outta the box with an RPM Air Gap intake & 650 Holley double-pump carb ), added GMPP Fast-Burn heads and the CC 270H cam, which resulted in 385 HP: I think their total expenditure was $3800...

a good 5 HP Briggs & Stratton might be too-much for the wimpy 700R4: swap it out first (or have a later-generation 700R4 built ), and THEN decide what power-level you want/can-afford, or you'll spew thransmission fluid all-over the road.

..... just-guessing here, but I doubt that with such a fairly-mild cam (.462"/.469" lift, 218*/224* @ .050" lift ) you'd need 2.020"/1.600" valves, although the port-volume is probably good: they'll be better'n the boat-anchors that came on the car from St. Louis! ;)

..... outta high-school, a buddy bought a left-over '78 Z28, I bought a brand-new '79, and a year later, another buddy from school got himself an '80: although it's been almost 30 years now, I recall the '78/'79 being designated as 'LM-1', and while I believe the '80 motor is identical, it got a...

:beer I'd choose an intake that will allow you to use the Q-Jet without having to use an adaptor-plate, which may casue fitment issues with your stock hood. ;)
