  1. 436'd Skylark

    436'd Skylark Sweet Fancy Moses!!!!!

    Ok heres my setup, or will be my setup very soon I should say.

    430, .030
    Bonafied 10.0:1,
    TA 413 Cam
    1231109 heads, Bowl Blended, and some port work
    stock valve sizes
    Poston S-divider
    Hooker super Comp Headers. 1 3/4" primaries, 3" collecters
    Original 68 q-jet, built to 71 Stage 1 specs. Probably going to do a whole lot more tuning with it this year.

    I'm hopeing it will be pretty peppy.

    As far as the car goes, I'll have a th350 with a 2600 stall
    3.42 pozi, Boxed rear control arms, otherwise stock suspension.

    Give me some guesses. Hopefully I'll break into the 12ss. 12.5 is my goal by the end of the summer. I will be swapping in a 4 speed sometime early summer... Let me know

    :beer :beer
