    After seeing him run down in Bowling Green...
    Wanted to know what his engine set up is...
    Anyone have any idea or info?
    In the brief conversation i had with him, i got Stage 2 heads 400th transmission and a ford 9" out back with 4.30 gears...
    Can anyone add to that?
    Thanks

    Roller?
    What are the specs?
    I recently found a thread you posted in refering to Tom'S Wildcat...
    In a thread regarding a 413 TA cam ( wich i just aquired) and stated his is smaller like a 212...
    Is that the caae now days?
    Current situation, i have a stock 72 455 from a Electra.. just pulled.
    I have a TA 413 cam, Edelbrock Intake, and 800cfm carb. Headers.
    200r4 transmission, a 94 Roadmaster 8.5 rearend with 3.73 posi.
    All to go in my 85 Buick Lesabre..
    Wanna run strong like ole Electra Jim use to do.
    Seein Toms ride at the Nats got me highly motived.
    He's even running a HR Parts and Stuff Rear Sway Bar that fits a 68-72 GM A Body..no mods.
    Trying to get much info as i can , so can drive down there nexxt year beat in it a bit, and drive home...
    I know i will never be as fast as his..
    But dang to break into the 12s would make me happy.

    I don’t know the specs, I believe it might be a solid roller, and it is bigger than a 413. Make no mistake, a big part of his combination is the Stage2 heads. You will need aluminum heads, start saving now.
