nickens motor
gove went 7.98 ..not sure if it was the nascar 358 in the daytona

[Brian Lohnes]

Gove's car has the Nascar engine in it, or it has every time I have seen it run.

[SpiderGearsMan]

ci to weight ..getting over 1000 hp in the nascar motor with 15:1 should be doable

ummm-well-in the current era-BUT Ken Duttweiler built Buick Grand Nationals went into the 7s in NHRA legal SS trim with Ron Fruchey and John galina (sp?) years ago....Also, Frucheys was 215 inches at the time

[SpiderGearsMan]

that is the way it was reported ..maybe the fastest non boost car ...

Gove's car has the Nascar engine in it, or it has every time I have seen it run.

Just curious, what's the ss rule on cylinder heads? Any head produced by the same manufacturer even if not OEM? Does it have to fit a production cylinder block? Why not the new Nascar engine? Thanks for any info.
