Well, at least Ivor can get some old skool lettering for that on the sides

I can be a complete nob sometimes, bit of a miss type there, that's heavier than the stock car!Cannonball wrote:

The target weight is 2,200 lbs.
As far as the power output is concerned, I think I'm probabaly being a bit conservative, a well sorted 500 stroker, should make 550 quite easily I reckon, but any guesses would help...anyway, I don't mind driving a pussy wagon...I might even put a nice furry interior in it

If I can make 550hp with just a mild solid cam and mild port job on a stock stroke Ivor I am sure you can do better than that.
But 550 will still get you mid 10s if you are that light and stay off the pies.

Yep, become a bit of a pie eater recently Dave...I think I might have to do a press up this weekend...

Does that mean you would have to check the power output on a Gyno??Ivor wrote:[ I don't mind driving a pussy wagon...I might even put a nice furry interior in it

Our Dart weighed in (factual, not guessing) at 2838lbs with no driver.
Glass fenders , no inner fenders, steel doors, no lexan, glass bumpers , glass boot lid, chassis connectors, cage. And no paint.
I think you have a challenge on your hands, especially if you are going to run ladder bars AND leaf springs...

When you consider a full weight big block A body tips the scales at around 3400lb, that's a lot of weight to get out. You will struggle to get it under 2800lb IMO. The early A bodies are the lightest of all so you've got a head start, but you will have to be totally anal about weight loss to get a streetable big block non chassis car under the 2800lb mark.
