Nice ride.

It's a 455 Poncho stroked .040 with a 6.800 (6.625 is stock) rod and .035 over. The rotating assy is from OHIO Crank, and uses a BBC rod bearing. Makes it a 468. Edelbrock aluminum heads (out of the box) with the valve springs changed to run a Bullet Cams solid roller. If I remember right, it's about .618 lift and 250i and 260e duration. TH400 with a Trans Specialties 9" convertor with a 4.10 10 bolt rear end that has ladder bars aand QA1 coil over shocks. Weighs about 3250 with me in it and has been a best of 10.52 in the 1/4 with a 1.42 60' time.


Here is a diffeent pass. You can see how far I am past the starting line. Thaat is my wife next to me. This is our first time trial of the day.

Nice, Good to see the 10 bolt still holding up to those great times. Must be nice to pull the front up. What do you have your QA-1's st at F/R ?

Re: Check out this good photo

I only have them on the rear. They are double adjustable. I honestly don't remember, I seems that I have a turn on the compression and 1/2 turn on the extension. The have 3 turns and each turn is 8 clicks. That's something like 256 ways you can screw it up :).

I love it. My favorite year too.

Is this the one that your wife races in too?

Re: Check out this good photo

Mine is the white 68 Firebird. My wife has the blue 71 Camaro with the unpainted fiberglass frontend in the right lane. I was running 6.80's and she was running 6.90's in the 1/8 that day.

haha, the older 10 bolts could hold up to a lot of stuff.. the 7.625" rears we got are junk IMO

Re: Check out this good photo

I'm assuming you have a 8.5 ten bolt right? I don't think the 8.2's will last under that much load.
