Yep, as Howie said the Sebring 12-hour is next then LeMans: http://www.racer.com/latest-stories/item/125893-ford-headlines-60-car-le-mans-field

The 4 Ford GTs entered will carry the numbers 66-69 to remember their 4 victories back in the day.

That is just cool.........

Sometimes you just gotta see how the other side lives......

Brent,
  You are right. I have quite a few Pontiac Pals. I built this little car but not the engine. It's a 480 inch all pontiac with a pro-systems dominator, a power glide and an old school Olds / Pontiac 3.89 gear with a 30 tall radial slick.

Looks like i'll have to download them to photobucket so they will show up.....

Turbo 2300 Ford 4 cylinder to the front. Heres an example of the power that can be made and spank most 385 series, FE engines and small blocks a like........... A local car to me and a frequent competitor in the Pro-stick group here. That's right a clutch car to boot. Ford power baby !!!!

Just wondering if anyone has followed through with the chroming process? 

That's Randy Dolsenek from Wisconsin. A bad car for sure. It has been a race car for 20 years plus. It has progressed for the past 20 + years. There was a big write up in RPM magazine a few years ago.

I sent you a pm with the contact info Royce.

^^^^^^^^^^ This is who I just got some transitions and swelled straight tube in 3-1/2. I previously had some Spintech fittings but these fit, look and weld like crap. They are unmarked as to where they are made so I would assume over seas. The Materials I got from Stainless Headers is 304 USA Made............. big difference.

Thanks for the input. I know back 12 years or so ago that some of the Pro-nostalgia FE'S were making 830ish with Kuntz Edelbrock heads and 430 ish cubic inches. Now these were 8000 rpm + engines also. Those guys were knocking down 8.80s at 3200 lb with a g-force 4speed. Just wondering how much of an advancement cylinder heads and technology for the FE has come and how easy is it to make that kind of power now.

Ok, now what kind of power do you think can be made at 430-450 cubic inches. All out race motor for NSS on the east coast?

I've done two 439 cube high risers that are 2+ hp per cube, closer to 9000 rpm than 8000, with mandated 715 cfm carbs and mandated dome pistons, both of which hold back potential power.  It is EXpensive to do it, but 450 inches done the right way, with no rules, could make 1000 hp.   Low budget on something like that would be +/-  $50K.

Blair, thanks for the straight up answer. A friend of mine was looking to get back into Nostalgia Superstock racing last year. He looked at Paul Adams car and I am now positive that just might have been the deal of the century if you were 100% dedicated to just run that class. Last I saw that car advertised was for 65k turn key....... makes your point all the more valid. I am sure BES was proud to have thier name associated with that package. My same friend has been kicking the idea around of building an engine capable of putting my car into the 8.80-8.70 field. I feel pretty confident I could get the car in the 3300 range but just needed to know which route to take as far as putting a budget together to get there. I basically have told him I'll help him out as much as I can, I have offered my car if he wants to use it as my plans and direction have changed in the last year and a half. I've had it for sale off and on but little to no interest shown in a potential buyer. I did have one interested party last november, had the car wet sanded and buffed as well as the fiberglass bumpers chromed as part of the deal but he backed out after I did my part.

Thanks
Travis
