Give him a 200 shot!

It's still a dog/smog motor to begin with. I wouldn't be worried!

My wife had a 76, I think it was rated at 180 to the crank. It was slow as *****. Looked nice though.

The race will take place roughly a month or two a way at a local track (where it should be) for the most part. i will def get someone with a video camera to go.

Where is a good/affordable place to get some MT's?

How much will someone charge me (roughly) to weld in sub frame connectors?

thanks

tirerack i think had good prices last i checked $160-170 per tire is pretty standard.

make sure you get a little practice with the sticky tires before you race.....

the quote i got for full length subframes, welded in was $200 i think....

before you shock and awe, thats for maximum motorsports welded in at tight/much as possible.
