Okay get an older 440 & trans no later than 71 and stick it in a gutted dart & put some 4.10 gears out back with slicks. That might even last a while.
Why break a car on purpose, people at the track will be pissed & you will too.
Not necessarily intending to break it on purpose. Just wanting to find the limit of a budget setup. I’ve raced high dollar small block strokers and some mildly modded stock stuff. I had just as much fun with a junkyard 360 as a 416 stroker. I also worried less about pushing it hard. I guess where I’m going here is that I’d like to play on the extreme cheap side to see how much fun I can really have. Why spend 30k to enjoy the same fun for 5k. A little experiment if you will.
