I had a station wagon with a lowly 318, a trantula intake, hedman hedders, a 3.55 posi and a crane cam. Torque rolled the engine, punctured the oil filter on a 90 degree adaptor against the body and drained the engine in seconds. Ruined the cam. Didn't help the main bearings either. The isky cam didn't even come close to matching the Crane. One day when the station wagon still had the Crane, I was passed by a Ferriari 308, I stepped in to the pedal and ran it up to 126 mph @ 6000rpm, about all the car could do, it also was all the Ferarri driver seemed willing to do also. We passed 14 cars at a time at one point and I was up for this, I was young and dumb. Then when we came into a curve he flashed his brake lights a few times and slowed down. I figured he had a radar detector, I came to a stop and turned around, I figured if the radar got a lock around the curve, the Ferarri would take the heat. Not like any cop is going to look at at 68 Coronet Sta Wagon. Keep a low profile, Wes |

He did fit some wider tires, but outside of the tailpipe diameter, there was nothing to tip the casual observer off to what the car could do. He got more than a few other drivers in trouble and always escaped the heat. Who'd suspect an old man in an import station wagon? I mean, -nobody- hot rods a station wagon, right? lol.... Jon |

Sounds pretty awesome! My roommate at MCAS Beaufort had a 1958 4 Dr Chevy Biscayne. He pulled the 283 and the powerglide, replaced it with a 409 with the 3 two barrel setup, he also had the dual 4bbl but didn't run that. Put a M-22 rock crusher in, a quiet exhaust system and decent tires running white letters turned inward. He had to be carefull off the line, the two piece driveshaft running though the X frame wasn't very strong but from a rolling start, he was deadly. Wes Blac |
