My dad just picked up a '66 Caprice with a 396 (he's got an Edsel in the stable too, no worries). Anyway, once he gets it fixed up a bit, he wants to race me on an open stretch of the highway.
I don't know if I will do it or not, because I never race, but just wondering what would happen.
Him: stock 396 Caprice. Big block, sure, but it's powering a boat.
Me:
Edelbrock heads 1.6/1.9 valves w/ FMS 1.6 roller rockers
Vortech blower w/2.95 pulley
Powerpipe
Typhoon intake
70mm throttle body
90mm MAF
42# injectors
3.73s (AOD)
Full exhaust: 1 5/8 headers, hi-flo h-pipe w/cats, 2.5" catback
My boost levels and RWHP will be known in a couple weeks after it sees some dyno time.
**BEFORE I added the heads, rockers, Powerpipe, 42# injectors (i had 30's) and 90mm MAF I put down 300/330 at the wheels.**
So, who would everyone place their bets on?
