maybe fab up a stock car ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Fast68Chevy* · 03-24-2002, 02:39 PM

well i have aquired an 81 cutlass supreme with no motor or trans, and im thinking that it could be a nice little stock car with the caddy 425 and th400, or if i could rig up the sm318 three speed tranny out of a 67-72 truck i have if i got the adaptor from advance adaptors or somewhere if i can find under dash clutch pedal assembly out of something to use( i dunno what, hmm..)

any thoughts on 425 swap onto G body and adapting 3 speed chevy iron bellhousing to 425 and also how to keep city zoning off my back about keeping the car ?
what have you guys done ?
i want to do this if I can, it would be neato

thanks

i would need to find out any rules to follow when setting up a car for stock racing, such as all the panels that can be skinned and what kind of steering column mods and how and where exactly to put the bars and the correct palcement and shape of it, etc

how to find this out ?

*Fast68Chevy* · 03-24-2002, 03:37 PM

what i figured that much lol, too bad we dont have a track near here, have to go to pana or elsewhere, im not exactly in an area where tracks exist... unless you travel. i kow of a couple guys here in town who dirt track cars, Il have to get in with them soon and maybe make a deal with them, who know what we'll come up with, i know one of them finally retired his car after tracking it for a couple or three years, it finally was damaged enough to say good bye heh.

thanks

You dont want to play with stock cars......thats a full time hobby!

Brad69 · 03-24-2002, 06:52 PM

There probably aren't any stock classes that a 425 would be legal, unless they have a bomber 2bbl class. Destruction derby is probably your only hope. Those are fun, but only a one shot deal.
